Thank God the movie stayed on storyline with the book. I imagine mass chaos of 500 teenage girls storming the theatre had it not. The cast was perfect. Jacob, Charlie, Rose, Bella, Edward, Emmit, Carlisle, Esme, even her school friends... The lighting and depressing depiction of the town of Forks was spot on. I was thrilled and giddy as a school girl. I had to stop myself many times from leaning over and giving my date the inside scoop. However, he really enjoyed the movie anyhow without having read the books. I will be seeing it again! I look forward to buying the dvd. GO TEAM EDWARD!
