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.
Ppl who don't get or hate this movie are probably not the target audience. Or think too highly of themselves. Sometimes ppl only see what they want to see.
What sells this comedy is that it doesn't take itself too seriously; it accepts its role as a frivolous parody of Twilight and similar melodramas and just has fun with it. Adams is excellent as the naïve Davis, who by virtue of some fortuitous food aversions and a timely encounter with body glitter sets the rumor mill in motion about his true identity. Given his social awkwardness, it's hard to blame him for riding the popularity wave at the expense of others' feelings, but it is good to see him step up and do the right thing in the end.
LIAR, LIAR, VAMPIRE is silly and self-effacing, but it does well to illustrate the importance of being yourself and surrounding yourself with people who appreciate the real you. Davis is influenced by his sudden popularity to become someone else just to maintain it, but he learns that that doesn't bring happiness, and Vi finds that there's value in peer relationships with the right people. Even Caitlyn changes for the better, giving tweens three examples of characters choosing integrity over status.
Someone asked if teens can be that stupid? Yes! It's called peer pressure and mob mentality. Most ppl are sheep whether you believe it or not. I love how short, sweet and simple the movie is and not overly complicated for a kids movie.
I esp like the fact that they don't divulge everything. They make you think. Like how Davis and his mom move around a lot but they never reveal her profession. Or how every time they move she gifts him a kaleidoscope. I believe that she may be some kind of scientist or agent for the supernatural and the kaleidoscopes are actually a useful tool in spotting supernatural beings like vampires.

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!
Due to his mother's career occupation a teenager by the name of "Davis Pell" (Rahart Adams) finds himself constantly moving locations and having to attend new schools as a consequence. So it becomes a matter of course when he is uprooted from Australia and has to enroll in a new high school in America. Naturally, since this is a new school, he wonders whether he will be able to fit in with the rest of the students there. Surprisingly, when the most popular girl in school, "Caitlyn Crisp" (Tiera Skovbe) immediately becomes attracted to him because she thinks he's a vampire, he immediately becomes quite popular as well. Having accepted this role somewhat reluctantly, he now has to figure out ways to keep up the charade and for that reason he turns to his next-door-neighbor "Vi" (Brec Bassinger) for advice. What he doesn't realize, however, is that there is one student by the name of "Bon" (Ty Wood) who is not at all happy with the new kid on the block stealing Caitlyn's time and attention away from him and he is prepared to do whatever it takes to put Davis back in his place. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a cute family movie that contained a couple of laughs here and there and also managed to pass the time fairly well. Admittedly, the plot was fairly predictable and it was a rather short film (only 69 minutes) as well. But even so, I enjoyed this movie for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
