Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved "Love at First Bite". This movie is just great and hilarious. I remember my mom tricking me and saying that this was a scary movie to get me to watch it and she knew me, that I wouldn't give it a chance if it didn't have a scare. But I kept watching it and just never stopped laughing to this day. It's very sad because I haven't found the D.V.D. yet! :( Brought in a new idea of Dracula in the modern day, or well 1979 at the time, what would Dracula think of New York City and could he keep up with the times? "Hutsie Tutsie, whoop whoopdie doo, red hot mama?", lol! You'll get that if you watch the movie. But Dracula is on a mission to find the love of his life, Cindy Sondheim. A super model who isn't responsible, she's lazy, and takes men for what their good for and loves 'em and leaves 'em. With Dracula's faithful slave, Reinfield, they find Miss Cindy.
But getting her is not so easy when her therapist, Dr. Rosenberg, or a.k.a. Dr. Van Helsing, he changed it for professional reasons, he has something else to say about Dracula taking his Cindy away and well, just having his pride will do anything to defeat Dracula. "This is a perfect example of a man taking action in his life! And I feel... pretty good!" This movie is just incredibly hilarious and should be watched. This is the best Dracula parody of all time. It's guaranteed laughs and a good time with great actors and just a fun story. I think anyone could get a laugh out of this and seriously, people! A 5.7? I think not! Come on! Live a little!
