My Best Friend is a Vampire (1987) is a movie I recently watched for the first time in a long time on HBOMAX. The storyline follows a Virgin young man who is a delivery driver and unfortunately has a delivery to the house of a hot vampire woman who wants to change his life forever. The young man wakes up the next day as both a man and a vampire. He tries to return to a normal life and will find that task more daunting than he anticipated.
This movie is directed by Jimmy Huston (Final Exam) and stars Robert Sean Leonard (Dead Poet Society), LeeAnne Locken (Miss Congeniality), Cheryl Pollak (Alien Nation), Cecilia Peck (Havoc) and Kenneth Kimmins (Arrested Development).
This movie has the classic 80s feel to it in every way. The soundtrack to this movie is an easy 10/10 and absolute gold. The hairstyles, sets and attire are all fantastic. The characters are very fun, relatable and easy to root for. The circumstances and hijinks are crazy and a bit unrealistic but that's what makes them entertaining. The comedic content is a bit cheesy but there are some funny scenes, the drivers test scenario comes to mind. I did thoroughly enjoy the ending and liked the ultimate conclusion.
Overall this film is more fun than good but is definitely worth a viewing. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.
