Movie Reviews of Once Bitten
Movie Review: typical 80's sex comedy
Summary: 1 Stars
I watched this movie, having confused it with another one. This movie is not only vulgar, but without any entertainment value. I had forgotten how bad the 80's teen sex comedies could be. For a PG13, it contained a lot of nudity, references to pedophilia ( the comment about the Vienna Boy's Choir was irreverent and completely un-funny). I'd give it "0" stars, but that option is not available.
Summary of Once Bitten
Comedy superstar Jim Carrey plays a hot-blooded teen who becomes the reluctant donor to a sultryand extremely thirstynocturnal nymph (Lauren Hutton) in this funny'sexy (Boxoffice) send-up of the horror genre! Mark (Carrey) has just one thing on his mind: going all the way. But whilehis girlfriend keeps telling him he has to wait, he meets a beautiful vampire countess (Hutton) who's ready for action! Mark's just happy to get past second base but after a one-night stand with the sexy seductress, Mark starts behaving more than a little batty and realizes he must find a way to break his lover's fiendish spell...or be prepared to work the graveyard shift forever!This is the movie that was supposed to make Jim Carrey a star--in 1985, no less. Perhaps it's no wonder that it took him until the 1990s (and In Living Color): this bloodless vampire comedy almost sank his movie career before it began. Carrey plays an innocent L.A. teen, the unlikely object of the affections of slinky Lauren Hutton, a long-lived vampire who needs the blood of a virgin to stay young. So, she woos the unsuspecting, naive young Valley guy. But most of the jokes fall flat, and only when Carrey cuts loose briefly and lets his wild side show do we get a glimpse of the future Ace Ventura. --Marshall Fine
