Broody vampires in fancy dress
Why did no one tell me Interview with the Vampire is so frickin' FUNNY?
I think part of the problems is that I don't think Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt are anywhere as hot as we are (or were, in the mid-90s) supposed to think they are. Then there's the cheesy dialogue, period costumes, and my conviction that snarky, bleach-blond punks exemplify proper behavior for vampires everywhere.
This movie never had a chance with me.
ETA: Ok, the movie improves after half an hour once everyone stops brooding and posturing and starts doing stuff.
