Despite a perfect start, as the film introduces us to the wild world of Southern California beaches inherited by the offspring of hippies, it eventually switches gears to a Goonies-esque coming-of-age story about grown-up kids, in which producer Richard Donner tries to squeeze every last dime out of his success. A storyline about a teenage boy's vampire initiation in an overwhelming new setting and a storyline where funny boy maniacs trying to beat vampire dad with comic books beat each other to a bloody pulp, and you're sorry, because if these were two normal standalone movies, maybe they could be friends.
