...replies his vampire mentor, the cloaked and mysterious Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly), “that’s bullshit.” This is not the only instance in Paul Weitz’s new film, “Cirque du Freak: The Vampire??s Assistant,” in which Crepsley correctly associates his young apprentice with tedium, puerility, or just bullshit.

The premise is the same, but this is an entirely...
