Essentially a blind watch, I must say I surprisingly enjoyed this film.
Lisa Frankenstein was surprisingly enjoyable. It was completely ridiculous and completely stupid, but I found its quirkiness oddly endearing and sweet.
Great performances from the supporting cast and Lisa played fantastically by the beautifully talented Kathryn Newton. She is quickly becoming a favorite actress of mine.
Overall, while I most certainly enjoyed the film, there were certain elements that didn't completely work for me that I'm sure would work for others.
Charming, endearing, and darkly humorous makes Lisa Frankenstein a worthwhile watch that I, for one, did not see myself enjoying.
PS. Still a better love story than Twilight.

Not what I expected
And then Fuddruckers...
Lisa Frankenstein is one of those films that I don't like as much as I had hoped I would upon the first viewing, but I like it more and more every time that I see it. In that respect it is similar to Beetlejuice for me personally. A totally campy film with a lot of things that don't make sense or aren't fully explained; it feels like there are some deleted scenes that should have been left in, but maybe they were concerned about the film running too long and kept it short and simple.
Kathryn Newton gives an excellent performance as the main character, and her dad reminds me so much of the dad in Coraline.
It's simply entertaining dark humor in a teen angst storyline! I totally recommend it for a fun night out.
