This movie was a great story, and Rob did a fantastic job breaking away from his Edward character in Twilight. This was an emotional movie, and gave Rob an opportunity to really allow himself to stretch as a performer. There were tears, laughter, shock and I walked away satisfied. I highly recommend this movie. Rob is more than just eye candy in this movie. Ruby, who plays Taylors sister was my second favorite character and I loved the dynamic between the two actors.
This movie did a great job of portraying most of the scenes in the book that were my favorite. I wish they would have allowed Edward to meet Bella upstairs after her party so he could give her the CD. I loved that part of the book where they had that time together before he left the next day. Overall this is a great movie. I read some reviews that folks were lost and disappointed they didn't laugh, well if you would read the books, you would pick up on some of the humor, and inside info that fills in the blanks. Don't hate the movie when you haven't read the books.
