Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
流水账……演的也太不像了，以至于一切到真实的梅艳芳片段，即使看上去外表那么相似，但言行举止一个柔弱犹豫一个刚强坚定，让观众能马上感觉完全是两个不同的人
3.5男女主角的关系处理的还是挺恰当的，生怕最后让他俩真的在一起谈恋爱了，这样的价值观输出上就真的是一个“如愿以偿”了，幸亏设计了一个自行车店老板的角色，这样的话还是让他回归到了最平静的生活。结局还是挺喜欢的。
整体来讲还是挺无聊的，原版是一部06年的电影，没看过，但是现在看这部感觉和前段时间的《巨星嫁到》还是挺像的。情节也很好猜，而且主线没走爱情线而是友情线其实也是意料之中的。萨马拉·维文小姐姐很好看，男主没有什么亮点。Schmidt温情暖男的人设太牢固了，他根本演不了渣男，然后那个老婆也是挺。。。她好像总演这种角色。那两个私家侦探挺可爱的，然后其他配角构成的这个社区也挺温暖，尤其最后亚裔跟墨西哥裔组成的一个混合移民的“家庭”其实也挺有意思的。
看的时候有幸包场，所以可以很大声地疯狂吐槽。
别说，拍的挺好，这种电影，一般一颗星都不值
勉强七分，而且在我看来，超过原版的评分是不公正的，因为法版叙事更加顺畅，喜剧就应该简练……
5.电影太碎片化了，没头没尾，不对梅艳芳有足够了解很难看明白。然而观众对梅姐了解越多就会越想吐槽电影。
人物关系、复杂程度、娱乐性都挺好，透着一股丧气+真诚，好看。
貌似相比法版改动和丰满不少，虽然故事是俗套了点，但禁不住维文妹纸好看啊，还有男主很多人肯定认不出是<健听女孩>的老师和<非常父女档>的爸爸吧。（预感某天国内也会拍一版）
这故事情节熟悉吗？很熟悉 但看着俗吗？竟然一点都不俗 本以为只是小妞喜剧 却没想到能对少数族裔的社会境遇有较深的探讨 结尾没有硬凑男女主cp、昔日情敌能联手撕渣男这两处情节设计大大的好评 演员老奶奶的去世也让葬礼戏、让这段语言不通的黄昏恋更加动人
鼓起勇气承受，我想人总要向着希望走。
感觉看了个mv混剪，哭的都是真人出来的时候…
其次是短评：米国逐渐重视起与邻国的关系了，近些年好多类型的电影，不论剧情片，还是动作片，都给人鲜有的温情感，还是说在下没怎么见过世面，其实米国的感情牌由来已久？mama的葬礼属实营造了泪点，提醒我们“子欲养而亲不待”。
虽然我快哭瞎了但是真的不如直接用影像资料剪个纪录片
除了长了点都挺好的 电影看多了就喜欢看看轻松的
完美的服化道，水准之下的剧作。对于这个编剧失望透顶。梅艳芳是个人，不是一开始就体贴、有爱心、从事公益的。所有人都在欺骗自己，好像感动了大家，但实际上这电影看的我如坐针毡，如芒刺背，如鲠在喉；张国荣选角如此油腻如此突兀，根本不想看到他；摄影一开始对光旋转很惊艳，但没想到从头转到尾毫无惊喜；三星给技术，其他的通通零分。
维文难以跻身一线，但身材还是真好…这种不动脑子的俗片，才算得上是真正意义上的合格爆米花片，虽然俗套，但很受用
"I wanna be with someone who feels like they deserve the best of everything."
确实很好哭，可以从头哭到尾。第一次在录音室录《心债》，梅艳芳清唱的声音响起时，好听到全身都打了颤抖。但不得不说作为歌手传记片，和波西米亚狂想曲的问题一样，很流水账，而且梅姑江湖义气十足大姐大的气质并没有表现出来，蓄足了气的最后一场告别演唱会也很短。还有就是这个张国荣演得真不好，哥哥那个是调皮不是油腻好吧
无份之缘，即便明知不能长久，仍然会欣然接受。重要的是，缘尽之时坦然面对。
