If this was the movie Alicia Silverstone and director Amy Heckerling made after they retooled Jane Austin’s Emma into critical and commercial gold with Clueless in 1995, it could have been a big hit … or at least made it into theaters. It’s the story of two young vampire chicks trying to make a life…or at least an existence…for themselves in the big city. It’s not as easy as it sounds, despite their decades of experience, particularly since they are vampires who refuse to kill people, sustaining themselves on rats and other vermin. Things get even more complicated when Goody (Silverstone) falls in love with a descendent of the original vampire killer, Van Helsing. It’s not frightening at all, but there are a few good laughs to be found, and it’s fun to watch Silverstone be ditzy, even if she’s a bit long in the tooth to pull of the cutesy act.
