I am a 53 yr old male, and I dont have daughters. I read the book, and I was surprised how closely the movie followed the book. I thought the cast did their jobs very well. I really liked the young indian boy Jacob. Bella and Edward had good chemistry. I wish Carlisle's history would have been brought out more. It was cool the way the evil vampires came or walked on the ball field. The tree scene was specatular.
