Surprisingly dark for a "family" flick, either you'll be on board for Fred's slapstick stupidity - brought to life by the oft-brilliant Rik Mayall - or you'll find it grating.

As obvious as the film's message can be - it practically bludgeons you over the head with it - it's still a frequently amusing picture with an interesting sense of surreal style from Dutch director Ante de Jong.

Christopher Coppola over-directs this lukewarm vampire picture that houses some interesting ideas, but mostly just distracts with too many characters and too many actors doing pretty dire line-readings of already bad dialogue. Some of the violence and acting is worth a laugh, but Dracula's Widow doesn't quite rise up to so-bad-it's-great territory - instead existing as a so-bad-it's-just-not-that-good flick.

A drunk cat keeps messing around with two families in an attempt to ruin their lives. Or something along those lines. Did I mention that Eric Roberts voices the cat? Did I mention he recorded his voice-over in a garbage can? Did I mention David DeCoteau directed it? AVClub describes this movie as a talking animal movie meets The Room - pretty apt. I won't lie, I laughed pretty hard at this pile of crap a couple times.

Michael Ritchie's Fletch is an endlessly re-watchable -- and quotable -- comedy/action flick with a solid plot adapted from the book of the same name. The kind of movie that I can watch any day of the year (and in any mood) and I'll love it no matter what.
