Featured review
Be Nice, I Liked It
Say I have poor taste, call me an idiot, call me dumb, call me whatever, but I didn't find this movie that bad. If it were a pure horror, then it would've been atrocious, but because they inserted the humor in there I found it entertaining. I could watch Kadeem Hardison and the late John Witherspoon in almost anything. They were a riot. And Eddie Murphy was best as characters other than the vampire.
Eddie Murphy played three different characters with Maximillian the vampire being the main one. His goal: find the only other vampire in existence so that he could live on himself. The indication was that without a life partner he would cease to exist.
His mark: Rita (Angela Bassett). His tool to get his mark: (besides charm) Julius Jones (Kadeem Hardison), who he turned into a ghoul. His opposition: Det. Justice (Allen Payne), who had feelings for Rita.
For the most part, when it was funny it was good, and when it wasn't funny... well... good thing there were funny parts.
