For some odd reason, while reading through the opening screen credits, I was looking for Nicolas Cage's name.
But it's actually Paul Reubens, the former Pee-wee Herman, who pretends to look like him and succeeds well at it.
Anyway, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a boring picture that tries too hard to be hip like Scream with some
Clueless moments thrown in.
The performances are bad. Neither Kristy Swanson nor Luke Perry is believable. I'm disappointed with Donald
Sutherland. He can do better but decides to phone it in. Watching his character to die is pathetic enough. When
he inquired about the location of Buffy's mole, Donald Sutherland's ugly-ass-looking mole in Revolution just flashed
across my mind.
When Buffy complained of having cramps every time a vampire was near her, why doesn't it happen every single time?
If at least a hundred of Buffys have died, then why keep choosing them? Ever heard of the expression: "If it's broke,
fix it"?
All in all, Buffy the Vampire Slayer isn't what I call a comedy.
