Went with my girlfriend and her 2 boys (who know the books), they also thought it was really great! We can't wait for the second movie to come out. I have a wide variety of movie genre favs, and this type is one of them. I and my girl, both agree it was a romantic story and also done very well in it's adaptation. Can make a great date movie! We related to the character's deep love for one another and stories of their past. Very intriguing vampire movie!!
