Perhaps only .01% of the population should have to watch "Transylvania 6-5000" sober, and I have already done so for everyone with any connection to this blog. It's supposed to be a comedy where--in "Scooby Doo" fashion but without the charm--the horror creatures all have rational explanations.
Jeff Goldblum is cast as Jack Harrison, a role mercifully less annoying than his Dr. Ian Malcom from "Jurassic Park," and Ed Begley Jr. plays his co-tabloid-journalist partner, Gil Turner. Bright spots are Carol Kane as Lupi and Geena Davis as Odette, though I have no idea how either of them ended up in this movie.
