Purchase
Maximillian (Eddie Murphy) character is the lead in this movie but I never really too much care about him. He was an obstacle in the way of the romance between Rita (Angela Bassett) and Justice (Allen Payne). Max as escaped hunters in the Caribbean. He comes to New York in search of his mate Rita. Rita doesn't know that she is half vampire half human though she do have these strange dreams that are getting more vivid and disturbing lately. Rita tries to fight her growing desire for Max as well as Justice. Justice (who will always be Lance from the Cosby Show to me) doesn't know what is going on for most of the movie. He only knows that he doesn't like nor trust this Max character. Always having feelings for Rita, his suspection is both jealous and rightly justicifed.
There is a secondary group of characters that include Kadeem Hardison (loved him A Different World) and John Witherspoon (oh can forget Pops from the Friday movies). The two of them have the best scenes in the movie. I honestly watch the movie waiting for the scenes that have them in it. While the movie isn't going to blow your mind or have you rolling on the floor in laughter it a movie worth watching at least once.
