James H Nov 2 Cool to see Jim Carrey in his first role, you can see that maybe sometimes the director didnt know how to use his physical comedy, but a couple scenes made me laugh and Carrey does a good job when he gets to be Jim Carrey, but yes I can see why this Bombed in the 80s See more Julian S. @akajulianscott Oct 13 Dumb, dated, and kind of delightful. See more Hank D Sep 30 Nostalgia bomb. 80’s classic. Early Jim Carrey. I include this in my yearly Halloween marathons. Never gets old. See more Amy K Aug 13 OK so..... I dont understand all the green tomatoes. I grew up watching this film when I think of my childhood n the 80s n 90s this is one of the things I think of! A good 80s comedy. And with Jim Carrey n Lauren Hutton I mean come on!! Yea its alil cheesy but thats what was great about movies made back then. I mean come on a hundred yr old vampire that needs a virgin to stay young..the halloween dance was always my favorite part!! Really tho give it a watch!! See more robert f @Justanotherbob Aug 11 The only great part about this flick, was Lauren Hutton. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 2 A failure in 1 hour and 33 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
