The production's genially tatty air enhances its anarchical mood and encourages one to go with its goofy yet often shrewd comic flow.

Casting Dracula as the Last Romantic, Scott Fitzgerald-style, was a clever idea, but nothing clever remains in the film's hodgepodge of flat one-liners and graceless slapstick.

What would happen if Dracula was victimized by life in modern New York City? It's a fun notion and George Hamilton makes it work.

The fast and furious fun is superbly scripted by Robert Kaufman and wonderfully pulled together by director Stan Dragoti.
