Liar, Liar, Vampire

I had not heard about this 2015 movie from writer Adrian Vina and director Vince Marcello before now in 2020 when I was given the chance to sit down and watch it.

As the movie was labeled as a comedy, I decided to sit down and watch it, and also because I hadn't seen it before. And now that I have finished the movie, I must say that the movie is watchable, sure, but hardly an overly enjoyable movie. Sure, it was a pseudo-fun approach as a spoof on "Twilight", but the movie just wasn't crammed with enough pranks, jokes and general fun to have me entertained. Plus, the fact that it was a Nickelodeon movie, meant that it was aimed at a somewhat younger audience.

I will say that the acting performances in the movie were actually quite good. Sure, the characters and the script was a bit off for my age, but I will say that the actors and actresses did actually fare quite well.

All in all, "Liar, Liar, Vampire" scores a five out of ten stars rating from me. I am sure that there is a larger audience out there for this type of movie. I just wasn't really in the target audience.

A cute movie, with interesting plot & great actors!

This film manages to deliver a big lesson for it's audience, that lesson delivering to a great impact that leaves a mark for sure. The film has an interesting plot. A boy moves to this new town, and usually doesn't fit in. Finding his chance to finally win over what he's always wanted - to fit in, he resorts to faking, he must, now, do what it takes to keep it that way. I felt as if the lesson, overall that ties in with the plot was powerful, a well lesson to deliver. The film manages to deliver said lesson in a fun, unique way that surely entertains the audience. I personally thought this film would be just another Nickelodeon trash film, but was wrong, pleasantly surprised. The film, as it continues manages to win the audience over with charming characters, who of which's actors deliver smooth, and succeed in strong emphasis toward their characters. The film's moral, or lesson, once again, delivered strongly. But at the same time in a fun, clean way. This film was watched out of boredom. And it surprised me. I'd recommend this whenever it pops up again. It's entertaining, and has a nice charm. It has succeeded in it's moral, and over all sense of uniqueness!

I guess I'm way older than this ones intended audience, and thus I didn't really expect much from it. But ...

The story isn't very deep even if I suppose many kids in their early teens can recognize the wish to be popular and the fear of being revealed as not as cool as they managed to make others believe they are. To the rest of us it's silly. Even a bit stupid, but with some sugar on top. Truckloads of sugar actually.

Despite this, and despite Liar, Liar, Vampire being predictable and cliché it has something. I didn't expect to like it but I did. In all it's silliness it is quite fun.

Acting is good. Not just the leads, but the supporting cast too. Silly but fun.

If you are young at heart (or just a bit childish) you might enjoy Liar, Liar, Vampire as much as I did.

The crew failed in creating this teenage film. Everything about it was not right. The crew did not add enough effort nor strength in creating this teenage film. The storyline of this teenage film did not make any sense at all. It did not go anywhere. There was not any direction. The cast selection could have been a lot better. They did not exactly fully commit nor connect to the storyline nor to their respective characters. There was not any sign of chemistry between the cast members. This teenage film was that bad that it should not have been created. It was not sending any good messages to viewers. The crew missed an opportunity.
