L'assistant du vampire

I threw this on after a bad day not wanting anything too heavy, expecting a typical crappy teen movie, but it was much better than I expected. It was interesting and funny without crossing over into being campy. Josh Hutcherson's role was a bit too stereotypical, but I rather liked John C. Reilly's character. Not a mind-blowing movie, but worth the watch imo.

Good music, characters and creativity. But the story is rushed and acting is painful at parts, which makes the entire movie laughable.

The film 'Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant' is directed by Paul Weitz. The film takes place in America, shown through common American features. This film is a vampire teen thriller which was quite exciting and contains lots of action. The acting was good especially from Darren and Mr Crepsley as they show emotion clearly. For me, the best moment has to be when Mr. Crepsley and the Vampanese leader had a fight as it was up in tempo and thrilling. I really enjoyed the film because it was very different from most vampire films. This makes it unique. If I had to change anything, I'd make it more realistic and believable. I would recommend this film if you like cheesy action films.

This movie was surprisingly good, mind you I went it with zero expectations. The premise Is fairly well developed, but the storyline itself leaves a lot to be desired. There's no real conclusion to anything, there's a 'final fight' scene which is well choreographed but doesn't do much to actually end the movie. It seems like they were trying to set up a sequel that never happened. I enjoyed the rest of the movie, it was definitely for kids, but easy to watch.

I watched a screening of this movie and loved it. I wasn't sure whether to expect a children's movie or adult movie, and it came out to be more like the latter. I grew up reading & watching "Goosebumps", and this movie made me feel like I was watching a "Goosebumps" film tailored for adults.

John C. Reilly does a really great job acting; it's nice to see him do something more challenging again. If you are turned off by his work in movies like Walk Hard, Talladega Nights, etc., give him a chance in this movie. He really impressed me. Patrick Fugit was my favorite actor in the film; his character was visually an eyesore but also in some odd way incredibly adorable. And Chris Massoglia, of course, was a great lead actor.

I would watch this film again when it officially comes out in theaters.
