People are voting emotionally.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The beginning of this movie was like a slow burning of the eyes and ears. Nicholas Cage's character is strange, but misses the mark when it comes to actual comedy. Fortunately, if you can sit through the first three-quarters of the movie, which consist mostly of Nicholas Cage getting angry at his assistant over missing files, then you might just get to see the somewhat redeemable ending.

Comedy is not Horror, no matter what anyone says. Totally, two different genres. This is nothing to be considered a horror movie. So it should never be listed in genre for this movie at all. It is about a nut that goes nuts, thinking he is a Vampire after being bit by one, and assumes he is turning into one.Pretty stupid if you ask me and not even funny. How people are saying it is misunderstood is stupid too. Horror is not meant to be funny at all. That is why it is called Horror. Stupid to say stupid things, and expect others to agree with you. My mother does this all the time. Why the heck rate a movie high just for comedy alone?Annoying when he calls Alva name over and over again, and chases her to the ladies room. Stupid as heck. I love Nicholas Cage but this is by far his worst movie. Should be an option for negative votes or rating. If you don't rate, then it is not for or against the movie on this site at all.That is so stupid that people do not rate when reviewing movies on this site because of that exact reason. That is why a lot of movies are rated bass ackwards. So glad they got rid of the bulletin Boards. Too many people complaining about bad movies being to low and that they are not that bad, like this movie.They would be saying stuff that makes no way for it to be rated higher. There is at least one bad movie for an actor, and this is Nicholas Cage one. Only thing on television right now. So kind of forced to watch it. Too bad television broadcast sucks with bad movies and too much reality television.

Nicholas Cage's performance in this movie is B rated at the best, but closer to a D. The fake accent, the terrible fake laughter, this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The story line is basically non existent and the foul language makes it hard to watch because it feels forced.Not impressed at all!!

Peter Loew (Nicolas Cage) is a Manhattan literary agent and Alva Restrepo (Maria Conchita Alonso) is his suffering assistant. He party all night and goes to therapist Dr. Glaser. A bat gets in his apartment during a night with a girl which he finds arousing. Another night, he brings Rachel (Jennifer Beals) home from a club. She shows her fangs and feeds on him. He continues to let her feed night after night. He becomes erratic and thinks he's turning into a vampire himself.Cage is going over the top with his performance. The problem is that Peter treats Alva so poorly even before being bite. It's hard to care about him at all. It's fascinating to see Cage overact sometimes but I don't see him hounding Alva as being funny. Maybe if he isn't so mean to Alva early on.
