Every so often, a movie genre gets so played out, its cliches so commonplace, that you can't help but make a little fun at its expense. Where we once had rom-coms and self-involved horror franchises to mock, we now have vampires. And much like 'Date Movie' and 'Scary Movie,' 'Vampires Suck' takes the familiar and turns it on its (undead?) head. Starring funnyman Ken Jeong, 'Vampires Suck' follows a plot similar to 'Twilight,' as teenager Becca finds herself torn between two boys. But with metro werewolves and odes to everyone from Lady Gaga to 'Jersey Shore,' the movie is anything but your average sexy sparkle vamp fest. After all, it's "from the guys who couldn't sit through another vampire movie." The film will hit theaters August 18, 2010. Watch the trailer and let us know what you think. 'Vampires Suck' Movie Leeches Off 'Twilight' Franchise

Why throw in random nods to Lady Gaga and Jersey Shore when there is so much vampire material to make fun of? Sounds like it'll just be another one of those stupid pop culture-filled "(Fill in the blank) Movie." Too bad, could have had potential if they had kept the focus where it belonged.

At first I was thinking, how stupid..... Why do people have to mock something that others enjoy. I liked Twilight. Preferred the books. But nonetheless, I like he movies. Then it got to the part where the "Jacob" transformed into the Taco Bell Chihuahua and I laughed outloud......!!! It may be worth checking out when it hits DVD. :)

I'm only seeing it because it was made in my hometown and has some of my friends in it...but being that it's from the same people who made " Disaster Movie " ( also filmed here ), I'm not expecting it to be even remotely funny.
