i just absolutely loved it. i have read all of the books. so what if it isn't exactly like the book. you can't fit an almost 500 page book in a 2 hr movie. all of the characters were exactly as i imagined them to be. i cannot wait for the dvd to come out aswell as new moon. for me it officially topped my former favorite movie dirty dancing. everyone should go see it. anyone who truely appreciates the books will appreciate the movie.
