So the campy meter is going to hit some serious levels of intense here, and most are praising the movie for it, but there's a point where it starts to become more annoying than fun. This movie achieves that right about when they introduce Awkwafina as the co-lead and potential love interest? I don't know. I honestly can't stand any movie she's in as I know the performance will be amateurish at best and loaded with jokes that never seem to land. Cage does an ok role as dracula but this is basically a motivational film for people trapped in abusive relationships who can't seem to escape. Nice message and all, but it could've been executed better. I don't end up feeling anything at all for the characters, and thus their struggles/plights never resonate or land either. I knew from the trailers that it was going to be mediocre, but this actually made me exclaim aloud "damn, that was awful."
