Vamps (2012)
Written and directed
by Amy Heckerling this film stars Alicia Silverstone, Krysten Ritter
and Sigourney Weaver. Two female vampires living in college find that
eternal life is not all it's cracked up to be.
While this film is
supposed to be a comedy it does sort of lack actual jokes and the
dramatic growth the main characters have shows up far too late,
pretty much out of nowhere. Mostly the script comes across as too
interested in the superficial elements, there are some nods to the
idea of people trying to stay young past their time but this is a
token effort. When it comes to the casting both Silverstone and
Ritter strike me as about 10 years too old for their roles as
supposedly eternal 20 somethings, most of the rest of the execution
of the film is pretty bland.
2/5
