Improv was just not that great. needed a stronger script

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2015)

they say that "More than 120 hours of footage was shot, most of which were improvisation from the leads." And improv sometimes works, but it usually works best when actors are working from a strong script and when the story has at least some structure.
this movie had a great idea behind it and had a lot of potential. it was actually a pretty genius idea, and to be fair there were some really hilarious scenes too. But I just felt like the movie needed stronger direction. a lot of the jokes fall flat because they feel like they either run for too long or they are too awkward and they just didn't know when to cut.
I would have loved to see a different edit from those 120 hours of footage actually. (maybe there were funnier moments that got cut because the jokes left in the movie ran for too long) Or I wish they had focused a little more on making the jokes stronger rather than what we got. So, to me this was a great idea, but not as great of an execution of the idea.
If you like vampires this is a good movie full of inside jokes on the genre. they definitely did the research on vampire lore
