This was such a weird movie, and I canβt quite put my finger on why. It was fine and entirely enjoyable, but the pacing? scene choices? vibe? just never coalesced into a good movie.

2022-10-27 23:17:19 +0000 UTCI tried to go see this movie when I was 9 because I loved Jim Carry at the time, but it was rated "PG-13," so I asked my mom to write me a note (she did that kind of thing for me), but when I got there, the woman at the kiosk very gently told me she couldn't sell me a ticket, and I was too ashamed to show her the letter, so I didn't see it until years later, and it wasn't even all that racy (again: my mom let me watch anything, and it was the 80s, so a plot line about virgins was absolutely no big deal to me by the time I was 12). That's my Once Bitten story.

2022-10-27 19:35:23 +0000 UTCI *adored* this movie as a child, particularly for all the cheeky sexcapades. Jim Carey was so damn cute. I did get in trouble in second or third grade because of this film, though ... On a walk to school one morning, I decided to educate the rest of my friends. Learning is fun! So, after watching Once Bitten for the millionth time, I asked, "Do you guys know what a 'virgin' is?" Pre-pubescent me went on to explain in some (surely fabricated) detail to my wide-eyed peer group. My mother was waiting for me when I got home, red-faced and yelling. Apparently word spread fast and she'd already gotten two phone calls from two separate parents, informing on my morning. It was that day I (started to) learn that, due to my loose upbringing and precocious nature, I knew a few things that weren't necessarily age-appropriate and it was better to keep my knowledge to myself. You're never too early to learn to repress!
