A plot-driven film with poor special effects (with another Matrix-style shoot-out!) and dreadful inconsistencies (set in a future where people wear clothes, live in buildings and drive cars from the past, in a totalitarian regime where people behave like it is a democratic society). Not supposed to be a gothic Vampire story, there's a little too much use of the smoke machine. Paul and Woodbine act well, Ling and everyone else are forgettable. The film is trying to make a point, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was. 5 out of 10, and only that much because I'm a fan of Vampire flicks and Adrian Paul.

This is one of those rare gems – a truly funny film.

Jerry O'Connell (`Sliders') is a hapless bachelor who's made a bet with his college buddies that the last one to get married will win the stake, which, after 7 years, has grown to almost half a million dollars. When he accidentally loses $50,000 at a Vegas casino and has one month to pay up or kiss goodbye to his anatomy, he decides to use dirty tricks to get his last rival married, in order to pocket the prize for himself.

The film is fast-paced with a hilarious series of mishaps, a brief comic salute to Cruise's cliff-top stunt in `Mission Impossible 2' and a new twist to the `boyfriend stops the wedding ceremony' gag. You'll remember this film whenever your girlfriend or wife asks you to `say the three little words' ("I love you" or ?) and you'll think twice about eating in a hospital canteen again.

If you liked Porky's, Revenge of the Nerds and the Naked Gun, you'll love this. If Deuce Bigalow or Ace Ventura got you to smile, this one'll guarantee a belly-laugh.

My three little words – rent it now!

I like horror films, films about magic and films about warlocks, but this is a cheap and nasty effort, with scenes that are too long, inappropriate synthesizer music that is too loud and bad acting. Don't be fooled by the slick cover. This is rubbish.
