Rockula (1990)

Bad props with big butts, crappy choreography, cheesy romance, eighties music and dance, silly humor...

I love the idea. I love the character. Dracula (Is he Dracula? Dracula's son maybe? Son Dracula? He has no dad after all, just his sweet sweet mother...) is a harmless goofball - the oldest virgin in the history of man - but he is charming (he's played by Dean Cameron btw), Mona (Tawny Fere' Ellis) is beautiful, the mom (Toni Basil) is too, and they have a fun and eventually life-altering banter all the way through. Good cast.

They have some fun musical moments - how would a movie like this work without, and some witty and entertaining ones.

Thomas Dolby ain't bad either, and you may recognize Tony Cox the most here, from other roles - does he ever age? Saw Rick Zumwalt in a Stallone movie just recently too...

Can't say this was a high quality gig for the most part though, even if it was fun, and maybe a forgotten gem. I enjoyed it.

Rock on. Ruck...ula. Arugula? Anyway keep on rockin'.

The free world. Do do do doo too. Do too.

 rated 3.5/5: not bad at all
