People often make fun of how bad German comedy is but French comedy is
perhaps even more worse, in my opinion. Having said that, this movie is
not completely horrible, it just is a bit of a lame and simplistic one
at times.
There are of course countless movies out there that are involving the
Dracula character, set in modern times. This is one of those, that is
taking a comical approach to the genre as well, which makes the movie
somewhat enjoyable but yet at the same time also far from a great one.
The comedy is very random and also a bit too lame at times. It besides
often relies too much on its actors, even while the actors involved
clearly weren't the most talented ones. It even seemed as if most of
them had never acted in anything else before, which however wasn't he
case though, since this movie is actually a part of a long running
series of comedy movies, called Les Charlots, which every time featured
different stories and settings but always some of the same
actors/characters.
You can clearly tell that this was a movie that was supposed to be all
about its characters, since I often completely lost the feeling that
this was a Dracula/vampire movie I was watching here. The main story
too often gets pushed to the background, to show the antics of its main
characters instead.
It's also a movie that tend to feel a bit overlong at times, even
though the movie is only 85 minutes short. It's probably because the
movie too often stretches certain bits out, no doubt in an attempt to
make the movie longer.
It's not an absolutely horrible movie but not really one that you
should be running out to see.
5/10
