In Rathbone's case, he's a statue with overly gelled locks and a permanent look of irritation that got many laughs. While some of the supporting cast is spot-on (Ashley Greene is pixie-ish and graceful as prescient vampire Alice, and Burke's Charlie is exactly the kind of loving-but-hands-off father Meyer describes), other characters - like Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) and Rosalie ( Nikki Reed) - are reduced to one note. But while the Bella-Edward romance is appropriately swoony, other parts of the film are quite schlocky and even unintentionally funny (like Edward's facial expressions at his first whiff of Bella's intoxicating scent). Overall, this is a great sleepover movie and it's very entertaining.ĭirector Catherine Hardwicke nails the teen emotions and relationships, and she stays surprisingly faithful to the novel. The romance isn't more graphic than most PG-13 movies, and there's no language. The age rating? There's one fight scene near the end that could be easily skipped. It is based off a best-selling book series. And if you stick with the entire saga like my family did, you're realize that this is a love story.Īs you probably know, this story follows human Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen. It's a great sleepover movie - me and my best friend watched this - and it's not meant to be a feminist movie, which a lot of people don't understand.Ĭomplain: Bella's not a feminist she doesn't have an option the relationship is unhealthy.Īnswer: Bella was never supposed to be the poster girl for feminism! This movie is not Moxie. So entertaining that I watched it 12 times.
I mean, this movie is no Titanic or Miss Americana, but it does serve its purpose - being entertaining.
