Jim Carey is at the height of his comedic powers in this truly delightful romp. With hilarious support from Cleavon Little (his best work since Blazing Saddles) and a surprising effective Lauren Hutton, Carey's encounters with a beautiful, seductive vampire are downright sidesplitting. Directed quite creatively by someone who understands comedy, Howard Shore, and written by an inspired David Hines, there is never a dull moment (nor a serious one) as this movie moves along at a breakneck pace. The lovely and talented Karen Kopins holds her own in this superb cast and delivers one of the funniest performances of her career in the role of Carey's virginic girlfriend. Special mention should be made of the hip musical score and the imaginative set design as well. All in all, this rates as one of Jim Carey's best films and one that will tickle the funny bone of general audiences as well as fans.
