Better than what I was expecting out of a PG13 vampire movie but still suffers from fatal cliche flaw. Pretty much you know right off the bat when two characters start off as great friends and some weird shit comes along they are going to be arch rivals at the end of it. My super ex girlfriend did it, smallville did it, xmen did it better than anyone.... I can't decide if John C Reily is either brilliant or horrible in this part, which I don't think I can explain something you'd have to watch. He doesn't exactly look act sound or do seem at all like a 'vampire' but maybe in a way that makes his portrayal more unique. I can see they're trying to start a franchise here and while that usually annoys me when they assume their movie is going to be so successful to warrant sequals right of the bat it's not that bad here as the story wasn't left like a cliff hanger and the movie didn't draw on like a 2 hour how too manual (<-Push)
