Love Bites

I must say, as vampire movies go, this one is just adorable. I have seen some comedy vampire movies, but this one just grabs you. It took me years to find this movie on video for US video, the only ones I could find were for British video and every time it would come on TV would be about 2 in the morning. Adam Ant was great as well as everyone in the cast. It put a different take on the whole vampire legend thing and the dialog between Zachary and Kendall was just terrific, especially their first meeting.

It really was a feel good movie from start to finish and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a light hearted comedy with a hint of the supernatural.

If you are in the mood for a farce of all things Vampire, then this is the movie to watch tonight. It is a little cheesey, but it's a hyperbolic satire on the whole Vampire mythos so it's just doing it's job. Besides that Adam Ant plays a great Romantic lead and just as good of a Vampire as Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt could ever hope to pull off... at least he has a convincing accent... Bottom line: Don't take it seriously, don't over analyze it, Don't turn it on expecting Bellalugosi.... and you may just enjoy it!

In the present days (1992), the divorced marketing executive Kendall Gordon (Kimberly Foster) dreams on finding her prince charming, but her boyfriend Dwight Putnam (Roger Rose) unsuccessfully presses her to marry him. In a stormy night, the vampire Zachary Simms (Adam Ant) wakes up in his crypt, which the entrance is through the fireplace of Kendall's house and stumbles upon Kendall. Soon he tells his life to Kendall and his love for the woman who turned him into a vampire, Nerissa (Michelle Forbes), and how she left him. As immediate consequence, he has overslept in his coffin for more than a century. Kendall finds Zachary a sweet "man" and shows him the night life in the present century and soon he falls in love with her and decides to re-humanize. Meanwhile, Dwight hires a private eyes to investigate his rival. But when Nerissa returns to look for Zachary, complicating his new human life.

"Love Bites" is a delightful vampire romantic comedy that has not aged. The plot is funny and based on a play by Malcolm Marmorstein. Both female lead actresses, Kimberly Foster and Michelle Forbes, are very beautiful and sexy, and Kimberly Foster shows a perfect chemistry with Adam Ant that is perfect for the role of a sweet vampire. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Meu Namorado é um Vampiro" ("My Boyfriend Is a Vampire")

From the start I was hooked, which I dont usually get into movies very easily. Also Zachary is not a bad looking character. I definently plan on purchasing this movie or at least renting it from the video store since I seen it on TV for the first time.

Sorry, the way I see it there are maybe two types of good movies, one that is just brilliance, a 5 star all the way, and a movie that you just plain like for some reason. And I just liked this movie...why I can not say. It just grows on you?
