I know, I know some movies do not compare to the book, this was one of those that did not even come close. The acting was ok, but if I woulda coulda shoulda, I would have not spent the money on this movie. It is definately only DVD (used) worthy. My daugheter is Twilight Obsessed and she hated it too. If you didn't read the book, the movie appeared to have no plot, just a lot of romance for a teenage girl. Edward was sweet and I did like that the Collins are "good" instead of "evil".
