Rating: 8/10 (22 August 2000)

On my third try I finally saw this entire movie recently. I did not read the novel so do not feel one way or another about the screen version. I enjoyed the acting from the leads to the smaller parts, but the acting honors go to Kirsten Dunst. As a beautiful young girl who is robbed of her youth by a vampire, she lashes back at her attackers with a passion that was beautiful to behold. Tom and Brad are sometimes very funny and seem like an actual male couple, especially when they are bickering or Tom is teasing him. The movie has more to say about life today than I would have thought possible, and gives the viewer much to think about when its over. The fantastic sets, costumes and soundtrack work together to make this a complete package. You are even smiling when its over!
