Bitten

So, Jerry Lewis has this movie, The Day The Clown Cried.

He plays ... um... a clown. In a concentration camp.

Yeah.

The movie didn't get finished and it looks like it's never going to get released because of the whole WTF? factor- like the idea of the original Nutty Professor in a Holocaust movie.

Where am I going with this? Oh, yeah, tonight's movie: Bitten.

Jason Mewes plays a paramedic who becomes involved with a vampire.

Jason Mewes as in Jay of Silent Bob and Jay from the Kevin Smith movies. So try as he does to seem all acting and stuff, I'm hearing a long haired junkie yelling Snoochie Boochie.

Him trying to do anything other than that, to me, is like Jerry Lewis in a Holocaust movie.

At least the clown movie has the dignity not to be released. Bitten's... bad.

I don't know if it's Mewes' impact, or not- maybe this movie would have been crap with another actor in the lead; there's an annoying thread about Mewes' character's interactions with people of non-European descent- he's abused by the local Indian convenience store clerk and harassed by his Asian landlady.
