Twilight is the perfect scenario for a movie studio: Thousands upon thousands of teenage girls have read the books, teenage girls like to spend money at the movies, and movie studios like to make money.
The recipe here is as follows: Take 1 best-selling novel in a key age range. Check. Add some actor from a previously popular series teenage girls will swoon for. Check. Complete as soon as possible. Check. Leave out all ability.
Watching Twilight is about as painful as being bitten by a vampire must be. The overwhelming awkwardness of the acting in this film overshadows any positive aspects. You find yourself laughing at Twilight constantly, even when the movie is at its most serious. (Glimmering in the sun, anyone?). It’s like asking your first-grade class to put on a movie about the revolutionary war, and then only having one take per scene.
The story is interesting, and probably the only really redeeming aspect of the movie. But this is obviously taken from the book, so you may wish to spend your money there, instead.
