I thought the movie was fabulous. I haven't read the books, but was still enraptured. I thought the classic love story was very "hip" and beautiful. My 2 daughters, ages 12 & 13, and their 2 friends absolutely LOVED it!!!! They are hopelessly in love with Edward. They were in love with him from the book and they are even more so now from the movie. The casting appears to have worked for them. A definite must-see movie for anyone who loves romance drama!!
