it is best if you read the book first, otherwise, the jokes are gonna go over your head. but since i did read the book, and LOVED it, the movie was AMAZING and surprisingly funny! Robert Pattinson was soooo good, and look really good, too, and people who think he isn't good looking enough have to remember that he is supposed to be really gorgeous, which he definitely was, but scary, and Robert has the ability to be both. Jessica and Mike were really good, too, as was Charlie, and basically the whole cast. I wish it had been longer; it seemed to go by so fast! and i wish there had been more of the cullens! it was stil great, though, and twilight fans should NOT be disapppointed.Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go watch it again... :D
