Best movie of this year hands down!

A Disappointing Continuation

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Who played the OTHER Laundromat girl? The one with the long dark hair?

This film is very much a product of its time. There are a bunch of things that don't really make sense and are confusing by today's standards, but that generally just adds to the wacky 80s fun.This also works against the film however depending on how you look at it since throwaway jokes now seem like cutting-edge risqué humour, which will either offend or delight.Overall this film is nothing special, but it is fun and definitely worth watching if you are looking for some classic 80s film making.

Once Bitten is a fun and enjoyable comedy vampire flick. Reveling on the alluring number 3 and hellbent on going all the way for a home run it stars the holy trinity of Carrey, Hutton and Little in humorous and lovable roles. The story revolves around the vampire Countess (Hutton) and her need for a blood transfusion from a virgin. No bite in the neck, but further down is required. She's guided and aided by the brilliant Sebastian (Little) with a certain feminine twist that makes for many laughs. Juxtaposed to this duo of (very light) darkness we find a trio of restless youngsters and the protagonist of the movie - Mark (Carrey) who is trying so hard to get to fourth base with his girlfriend but not getting anywhere. He tries to metaphorically go to third base at a drive-in movie when the gear stick gets in the way of the couple and he says "Here, let me put it in third...". That's all he manages to do tho and they sit and watch the movie while all the other cars around start to bounce one after the other. Frustrated and let down he is talked into going to town to get...sorry... 'meet' girls with his two comic relief friends and soon enough he meets the countess and she lures him into her Hollywood mansion to get the first of three blood transfusions in order to retain her good looks. From there on strange and humorous things start to happen to the main character. It's a definitive 80's movie for sure. It's lighthearted and fun and if you expect some serious vampire business and action you will be sorely let down but if you're expecting comedy, teen desires, Carrey and light entertainment you will have a very enjoyable hour and a half of pure 80's nostalgia with a twist and you won't regret seeing it.

This is the first film in which I ever saw Jim Carrey. I told all my friends they just had to see it (back in '86).... I said, "Pay attention to the guy who plays Mark Kendall. He's the only one who could act in the whole film, and he's gonna go places." Boy, did he ever! Carrey plays the innocent Mark Kendall with charm and sweetness. His virginal girlfriend, who has been stringing him along for quite some time, is just not ready for "going all the way". What's a young, red-blooded, American teen supposed to do?? Well, Mark's friends have the answer: go to a single's bar, of course! Not only does Mark meet one hot woman, he goes home with her. Strange, though, he can't seem to remember it at all... He's changing, and not for the better. What's gotten into this sweet, naive fellow? It's a typical 80's movie. Watch out for big hair and dancing. And Carrey was sweet in this role. Don't expect the wild and crazy guy many have come to know and love on screen. (This is pre-"In Living Color"/"Ace Ventura".) Look on it as a retrospective! (and if you don't find the movie itself funny, it's also easy to make fun of...) Enjoy!
