I was not impressed with the first movie, but thought I'd give it a shot after hearing my girlfriends rave over the books...and we're in our late 30's! This movie made me want to go buy the entire "Twilight" series! Its a great love story with an adventurous / monsterous twist. You'll find that you, yourself will fall in love with these characters as well! So you can easily see the turmoil poor Bella is in! Great Romantic Drama!
