Parents Beware - Moral Issue

Rating: 5/10 (30 June 2010)

I wish I had known about the moral issue in this movie before taking my 12 year old daughter to see it. The movie is rated PG-13 for "some sensuality". Well, there was sensuality in the last two movies, but in this movie, Bella is trying to take off Edward's clothes and lose her virginity. What makes this even worse is that she just had a discussion with her father, who was concerned about she and Edward being "careful". She is annoyed by this conversation and leaves the room stating she is a virgin. Next thing we know, she is at Edward's house, in his bedroom, trying to change that status. While Edward tells her he wants to wait until they are married, she tries to manipulate him into giving in. He appears to be giving in, (as I leaned over to cover my daughter's eyes), but then stops and tells her they must wait. Sadly this movie seems more about teen lust than teen love. And it hurts the moral community of this issue. With respect to the actors, the scene should have been left on the editing floor.
