There are a few flaws in the movie making, low quality effects, some cheesy lines, however they are easily forgiven and forgotten, because the story and characters are well played. Remember, summit is fairly new and the budget given for the making of this movie was small. I do believe the movie plays up to private jokes that only a twilighter would understand, however, i took a few friends to see it who have not picked up the books and the overall opinion was suprisingly entertaining and not what was expected. I I think the cast, crew, and writers served up the best that they could with what they had and I honestly would see it again!
