Once Bitten
Reviewed Sep 4, 2003
Lauren Hutton is a 400 year old vampire that needs to drink the blood of a virgin in order to maintain her youth. She’s having a tough time finding one in 1985 Los Angeles until she meets a sexually frustrated Jim Carrey.
First the good:
- Lauren Hutton enjoyable as a vamp, and has the funniest scene in the movie.
- There’s another funny scene in the movie.
- There’s a pretty good dance number.
That’s about it for the good.
Now the bad:
- The supporting cast is weak.
- The script is weak.
- The sets are weak.
- Most of the jokes are weak.
Sense a theme with the bad? This movie could have been really good, Jim Carrey and Lauren Hutton have screen presence and with a better script this could have been a great dark comedy, as opposed to the flat sex-comedy it is.
