The movie was good. More focused on the early and late teens. The love affair was beautiful, but graphics of the movie and camera filming was what made it the movie and love affair stand out! Belle's acting, to me, was a little over board. Her actions actually bothered my husband and I, both! This movie is definately not aimed towards men! They tend to like a more American Pie movie. So men, it's about LOVE, not boobs! New Moon maybe better due to action scenes. I do agree on the gossip issue, it shouldn't have been blown up so much, otherwise, you might as well call it a reality TV show, right?
