Review of Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) by Michael H — 22 Aug 2016

Eddie Murphy is good and good to look at, Angela Bassett likewise. But it looks like they couldn't get a ruling on whether this was to be a comedy or a scary, tried to combine the worst elements of both and came up with a mess.

The supporting cast mainly overdo it in an attempt to be funny and while a few swear words are all right for emphasis or underlining, the "F" and "M--F" words come up with very tedious and monotonous regularity (like 17 times in three sentences.

Don't bother, definitely not one of Murphy's best efforts. He has done and can do better than this mess.
