“The movie is just not all that funny – you would expect a comedy to give more laughs than this film gave us. It has a few moments worth of giggles but not bust-a-gut laughter like one wants from a comedy. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll the actors are fine – really good. Itu0026#39;s just a terrible story with very few laughs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have to agree with other reviewers that Draculau0026#39;s problem is not that sheu0026#39;s black but that he wanted his wife, Vampira, the way he remembered her – he just wanted his wife back. He felt he was with another woman because she acts different and looks different.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s such a shame the comedy wasnu0026#39;t funnier and the storyline a bit better because this film had the potential to be really comical if better written.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e3.5/10”
