Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

This vampire comedy movie was OK but didn't deliver too many laughs for me. It was corny but not really humorous. It seems like it was written and executed poorly.

I was surprised to see some of the big actor names like John C. Reilly, Salma Hayek, and Willem Dafoe in it. Even they could not save this movie. It ends with the promise of a sequel. I am not sure why. I was not entertained by this movie and don't think you will be either.

For some reason, I thought it would be pretty good from the trailer. I was wrong.
