Review of My Babysitter's a Vampire

It's almost embarrassing for me to put this review up on IMDb, but sometimes you just have to let a granddaughter have her way picking something to watch. Mine said she saw this about twenty times already. I can relate to that because when I was her age (12), I would watch the same film every night for a week when it was featured as a Million Dollar Movie on New York's WOR-TV. But with all that said, the best I can come up with for this flick is that it has it's appeal for tweens and teens, but I personally found it to be on the boring side. The story seems to be all over the place, and judging by the mere handful of reviews here on IMDb, it doesn't appear to have had a very wide audience. So rather than rain on anyone's parade, I'll simply say that if you're a kid, you'll probably like this, even if the theme sounds a little scary. Only one of the vampire characters is truly menacing, while the babysitter in question (Vanessa Morgan) looks like she would be a pretty good role model without the vampire fangs. There's a real nerdy kid named Rory (Cameron Kennedy) who tends to be annoying and funny at the same time, and he too winds up a vampire victim in the story. But it never gets too heavy, and the fledgling vampires all seem to be your average neighborhood teens trying to fit in with their peers.
