Leave your thoughts about Love at First Bite.
| The New YorkerPauline KaelAtrociously directed and full of groan-making jokes, but the cast are having such a good time that it's difficult not to respond in a similar way. |
| The Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThe production's genially tatty air enhances its anarchical mood and encourages one to go with its goofy yet often shrewd comic flow. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA mostly likable and spirited Dracula pic, played as a silly spoof. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinMr. Hamilton's knack for comedy has been a well-kept secret until now, but he's certainly funny in Love at First Bite, a coarse, delightful little movie with a bang-up cast and no pretensions at all. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathThere are killer lines and exchanges, but not the overall consistency you'd hope for, or the kind of energy that could drive a stake through our ennui. |
| TIME MagazineRichard SchickelThe production's genially tatty air enhances its anarchical mood and encourages one to go with its goofy yet often shrewd comic flow. |
| VarietyVariety StaffWhat would happen if Dracula was victimized by life in modern New York City? It's a fun notion and George Hamilton makes it work. |
| Entertainment WeeklyKirven BlountEvery now and then things get so convoluted that some sort of humor is achieved, but waiting through setup, setup, explanation of hoary joke, and delivery of hoary joke gets old fast, especially when the jokes are racist. |
| User ReviewDouglas CStarring George Hamilton as a sexy, campy, silly Dracula. |
| User ReviewAnna TI was a kid when I first saw this movie. George Hammilton was my first crush. sexy sexy!! |
