Vampires Suck 2010

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's the sort of movie where "finger food" is offered at a party. And it's fingers. Haw. Read more

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: Aside from the difficulty of spoofing a saga that has always been winkingly aware of its own angsty excesses, there is the inadvisability of angering a tweeniverse whose emotional investment in the originals borders on pathological. Read more

Nick Schager, Time Out: Below bottom-of-the-barrel. Read more

Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Vampires Suck finds Friedberg-Seltzer evolving ever so slightly, but adequacy remains out of their grasp, and mediocrity might just be an impossible goal. Read more

Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: Two very important things to note about Vampires Suck: The film is a spoof of the Twilight movies, and the title is a good indication of where the level of wit lies. Read more

Natalie Southwick, Boston Globe: With Vampires Suck, the film is just as guilty as the vampires. Read more

Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly: The Twilight Saga, with its operatic gloom and straight-faced fantasy, is undoubtedly ripe for a smart, good-natured ribbing. This isn't it. Read more

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: There's a joke or broad sight gag every 15 seconds or so, but the ratio of hits to misses is nearly nonexistent. Read more

Michael Ordona, Los Angeles Times: Plenty of gags fall flat, but writer-directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer... have tapped the vein more effectively than their norm, with enjoyable details and on-the-mark senseless brutality. Read more

Nick Pinkerton, L.A. Weekly: If you've ever read a single book -- we'll include Stephenie Meyer -- you're probably better than this. Read more

Rafer Guzman, Newsday: It's almost as cynical as the actual Twilight, and not nearly as funny. Read more

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: All but the most die-hard fans can agree that the Twilight movies are spoof-worthy. So it's too bad they don't get a worthy spoof. Read more

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: This movie sucks more. Read more

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: The running time is a merciful 80 minutes. That's the one reliably great thing about reviewing bad movies: Almost all of the biggest losers are less than an hour and a half long. Read more

Bruce Demara, Toronto Star: Parodies can be hilarious. This one sucks. Read more

Tom Huddleston, Time Out: A few broader references might have made this punishing one-note trawl through the eminently spoofable tween-vamp saga slightly more watchable. Read more

Joe Leydon, Variety: This instantly forgettable trifle is fairly close to worthless. Read more

Jen Chaney, Washington Post: Perhaps the filmmakers deserve credit for their one show of restraint: No jokes in this movie have been made at the expense of Justin Bieber. Read more
