This 1987 teen comedy definitely embodies everything that the late 1980s had to offer in terms of movies of this type.
When I sat down to watch "My Best Friend is a Vampire" here in 2021, I didn't even know about the movie, and I hadn't seen it before now in 2021. But I must admit that now that I have seen it, this definitely was an enjoyable movie.
"My Best Friend is a Vampire" is a light-hearted teen comedy with a vampire theme as its focal point, but still managing to put in elements such as transition to adulthood and all the problems that being a late teen comes with.
The storyline told in "My Best Friend is a Vampire", as written by Tab Murphy, was actually a rather enjoyable and nicely paced story, not to mention an easily followed storyline and one that you quickly get immersed into.
And with this being a 1987 movie, then you will see some familiar faces, provided you grew up watching movies and TV, of course. With the likes of David Warner, Cheryl Pollak and Rene Auberjonois. I will say that the definitely did have a good ensemble of actors and actresses to portray the various roles in this movie, and that the performers did good jobs.
All in all, then "My Best Friend is a Vampire" is an enjoyable teen comedy, and one that is as watchable today, as I bet it was back in 1987. This movie definitely haven't felt the passing of time. But such is it with vampires, I suppose.
I am rating "My Best Friend is a Vampire" a six out of ten stars.
