Adapted from Darren O'Shaughnessy's book series the Saga of Darren Shan, Cirque du Freak: A Vampire's Assistant is an endearingly goofy teen-vampire tale reminiscent of The Goonies or Lost Boys. Like those kids' horror classics, Cirque du Freak is a coming-of-age tale in which maturity is hastened by horrific discoveries of alternate realms. Best friends Darren Shan (Chris Massoglia) and Steve (Josh Hutcherson) embark on a life-changing career path as monster prodigies after attending a taboo freak show starring various mutants and Madame Octa, a fluffy, neon orange, Muppetlike spider that Darren is irrevocably compelled to kidnap. Darren's petty theft results in the boys' introductions into the dualistic realm of good vampires, including the paternal Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly), and less-generous bloodsuckers such as Murlaugh (Ray Stevenson) and his Vampaneze family. Part of the fun is in learning how vampires are defined in this world; for example, they can't turn into bats but they have magic spit. The film's additional appeal is in its clever teen-vampire cultural nods, such as when Darren plays his Gameboy inside his coffin. The actual circus, too, offers a wide array of fun, spooky characters, such as ringleader Mr. Tall (Ken Watanabe) and Darren's scaly buddy Snakeboy (Patrick Fugit). Cirque du Freak: A Vampire's Assistant has tough moments, too, once the boys realize they can't look back. These moments transform Cirque du Freak: A Vampire's Assistant into a film parents may even be charmed by. --Trinie Dalton

Was pleasantly surprised when I put it in and started watching it. I look forward to part II. Good family movie and entertaining for 'grown ups'.
Just for Josh Hutcherson's acting June 15, 2010

A friend wanted me to buy this movie for him just for Josh Hutcherson's acting. And he gives the movie a five. And I liked the movie also. I can't wait for the next chapter in the series, just like Harry Potter.
BRILLIANTLY FUN! May 9, 2010

The Movie was way better than New Moon that sucked a lot! Awesome movie with lots and lots of Action! The Movie has lots of Mild Language but in a funny way though, It's one of the best Horror Comedy Movies of This Year!
Awesome book, awesome movie May 9, 2010

I especially liked the cameo of the actor from the Boondock Saints (the gay detective whose name escapes me). I loved the entire book series and was kind of afraid I wouldn't like it as a movie but it was amazing and totally worth watching!
 Cirque Du Waste May 5, 2010

This movie is a just a waste of time. From the trailer it looked like it had potential, it really did. However, the potential was so unfulfilled that I cannot communicate the extent of disappointment to you in this medium. The best way would be to sell you a ticket to some Broadway play and then lock you in your basement for three days. That would be as equivalent to the distance between the potential of this movie and what it delivered.
