Strains of disco/organ music accompany the first glimpse we see of Castle Dracula, with lightening and plenty of dry ice; the children of the night providing harmonies to Dracula's organ playing is dismissed with a curt 'Shut up!' Dracula's slave Renfield chuckles a very Dwight Frye-sounding chuckle. It is clear from the outset, this is a light-hearted homage by a production team clearly in love with vampiric cinema.The mighty George Hamilton, perma-tanned and pearly of tooth is perfect in the role of The Count. His delivery is more reminiscent of Bela Lugosi's accent even than Martin Landau's award winning performance. Hamilton is more talented than he is often given credit for, I think.One of those words that doesn't really mean anything, 'schmaltzy', seems to describe the worst excesses of this; the greatest crime is its dated-ness. Comedy is notoriously difficult because it is so subjective, but at its heart 'Love at First Bite' is a well observed (even Hamilton sauntering down a street in downtown New York is reminiscent of Bela Lugosi's sojourn down the streets of Universal's 'London' from the 1931 classic), surprisingly well-played comedy, in which Count Dracula's long lost love is Cindy Sondheim (Susan Saint James), a famous fashion model. The Count's journey to find her takes him through various modern day nightmares; his bewilderment when encountering disco music for the first time is entirely understandable. Equally, his crumpled expression when Sondheim sees him initially and assumes he is a waiter is a highlight. Sondheim's psychiatrist Jeffrey Rosenberg (Richard Benjamin) is The Count's protagonist, and it is telling he is viewed as the befuddled 'bad guy.' Rosenberg is a distant relative of Van Helsing. Michael Pataki, who fleetingly played Dracula in 'Zoltan, Hound of Dracula' the year before, appears in a brief scene in a lift.As the film goes on, the various homages to earlier Dracula projects give way to more knockabout comedy fare. Just when the joke is in danger of wearing thin with a car chase, Sondheim finally decides to become a vampire and the two bats are last seen wobbling towards Jamaica, where The Count's coffin has mistakenly been taken.

Another fantastic comedy movie. And another long time favorite comedy-horror film that I enjoy. If you get the humor in horror and in Dracula then you will get this belly-busting comedy movie.I saw this movie years ago as an 8 or 9 year old kid and it was "Love At First Watch" . I also watched it quite a few times during my teen years. To this very day, I will still laugh when I see this movie.I have admit that George Hamilton makes a good-looking Dracula and could have easily taken a serious Dracula role - but I'm glad he did this particular film.If you like is film (Love at First Bite) then you are also sure to love Leslie Nelson in "Dracula: Dead and Loving It". Both movies are so funny that I had tears streaming down my face.9/10

this is a pretty good send up of the Dracula lore. the basic premise is that Dracula ends up being evicted from his castle in Transylvania and decides to relocate to New York to be with his true love,even if she doesn't know it.the most amusing aspect of this movie is George Hamilton as the count.George Hamilton is a perpetually tanned person and in the movie,he is also tanned.picture Count Dracula,who is supposed to be deathly pale with a dark tan.that's a pretty funny picture.then,we have the count in New York who is like a fish out of water.there are some some very funny lines in this movie,mainly owing to the count not being familiar with the language and customs of a modern city.Susan Saint James plays the love interest Cindy Sondheim and is quite funny in her role.the character of Renfield is also very funny,but it is Richard Benjamin as the count's rival for Cindy's affections and adversary who steals the show with his scenes.the humour in this movie is not the tears streaming down your face kind.it's more droll and wry,but it works.the movie moves at good clip and maintains interest throughout.i especially liked how the actors manage to have a deadpan delivery for their silly lines.basically,i liked this movie quite a bit.it's certainly worth 90 minutes to 2 hours of time.i give "Love at First Bite" a 7/10

"Ooooh I, I love the nightlife I got to boogie On the disco 'round, oh yea.."The classic scene in the disco with Hamilton and Saint James sticks in my mind, although so do many other other scenes. This truly classic laugh-a-minute must stand as a truly guilty pleasure with many admitting despite its silly tone, it sure is funny- yep it sure is.I hired out the movie not expecting a great deal- it simply got it out to watch the movie. What I got was a fantastic comedy with romance, elements of parody and gold comic acting.I could go on about "Love At First Bite" but I will simply say this...SEE THIS MOVIE NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
