    Well I Watched it

    The premise was interesting and that's about it. I don't know what was harder to believe Matt Rife is a Vampire or Jamie Kennedy is a Comedian. It seems like somone was just anxious to make a movie with Matt Rufe while his comedy is popular. If this was a you tube short it could have been better. As a full movie it's about as drawn out as this review trying to fill in enough characters to post my orginal statement about Jamie Kennedy not being funny. My boy hasn't changed his humor up since Malibu Most Wanted. Coming from an 80s baby that grew up with Bro Comedy rife with Fart and Dick jokes, it's just not funny anymore.

    The trailer was horrible but the actual movie was funny

    Ok yes I wanted to see this movie just because of Matt Rife and yes he is hot and yes he is cute but I did not watch this movie just for his eyes and smile. He actually played the role with heart and soul, And his humor was actually funny.

    Also I enjoyed Jamie Kennedy in this movie. He made me laugh so hard my lungs were really killing me. I have not seen him in a movie in a while. I am glad he got to do a movie with a younger comedian. It's not often comedians have great acting together. They both matched up really well.

    Also I really enjoyed the actress Ellen Hollman. I thought she played a cool character in this movie.

    Surprisingly Decent

    I almost didn't watch this video because of the low score it's getting. Is it a great movie? Nope. It's kinda weird, the story is oddball, but somehow it works in a very strange way.

    Dialog here and there are genuinely funny.

    I can see why some people wouldn't like this movie too much. The vampire character has a strange delivery. But for me, that's what makes it work.

    I was put off by the character in the beginning, but the delivery of his lines grew on me as the movie went on. Overall, it's a simple story that follows some of the typical Hollywood conventions of movie making.

    In all, if you have some free time and want something that doesn't require a lot of you, give it a shot.

    stupidest thing I've seen.

    This is...so bad. Didn't laugh at all, in fact I cringed more than I laughed. Matt Rife's "acting" was horrible. I guess the only thing he has going for himself is that he is pale enough to be a vampire. A few washed up actors with bad acting, no good jokes. Highly recommend not watching this and instead watching a ~good~ vampire movie/show lol go check out Nick Cage's new vampire movie because even though it wasn't the best thing in the world, it was still a thousand times better than this.

    Overall, please don't waste your time watching this. Watch something better. Let's please stop giving Matt Rife jobs.

    It didn't suck...

    When I sat down to watch the 2023 comedy "Don't Suck", I had never actually heard about it. And I hadn't read the synopsis, but given the movie's cover, I did assume that I was in for a vampire movie.

    However, I must say that the storyline in the movie turned out to be way more entertaining and enjoyable than I had anticipated. I figured I was in for something in the likes of a spoof or farce on the likes of "Twilight" and such, given the movie's cover. However, writer Rick D'Elia proved to come up with a rather nicely written comedy script that combined elements of living on the road as a stand-up comedian and vampire movies. There was just something that worked about quite nicely.

    And I must say that I wasn't figuring that Jamie Kennedy would muster anything grand here, but I was pleasantly surprised with his performance as the down-on-his-luck-aging-comedian Pete. And I wasn't familiar with his co-star Matt Rife, playing Ethan the vampire, but he definitely put on a memorable and good performance as well. It should definitely be noted that teaming up Jamie Kennedy alongside with Matt Rife was a good choice, because they had a great on-screen chemistry.

    I wasn't familiar with the majority of the cast ensemble in the movie, aside from Jamie Kennedy and Russell Peters. But I will say that the cast in general did put on good performances in bringing their characters to life on the screen.

    If you enjoy odd comedies, then "Don't Suck" is a movie that is well-worth sitting down and checking out. I was genuinely surprised with the script that Rick D'Elia gave director RJ Collins to bring to the script. And I was adequately entertained throughout the course of the 100 minutes that the movie ran for.

    My rating of "Don't Suck" lands on a six out of ten stars.
