Enjoyed it probably more than a married woman almost 30 should have...

I didn't care to see this movie in the theatre. I've heard of the books, but not read them. There just seemed to be too much "hype" surrounding the entire thing: the books, the author, the movie, the characters, the actors - everything.
(I actually just caught Kristen Stewart in "Adventureland" and realized she has some chops... I'll give her that.) ... but as I strolled through my local movie store today, I picked it up... practically looking around to make sure no one watched me do it. It felt like a guilty pleasure... like a carton of ice cream or something (even at 27 I'm far too mature for such nonsense, right?) BOY, WAS I WRONG.
And just like a guilty pleasure, I enjoyed every second of it.
I wished I were Bella... even if that meant going back to school - just to have a freaking awesome hot, romantic, protective boyfriend... one with a delicious secret that only I was privy to.
It had that very "us and our love against the world" feel without being overly dramatic or cheesy.
This is definitely the kind of book I would have picked up about fifteen years ago and gotten a wicked crush on Edward just like everyone is now.
I might even go back and pick up the books before they make any more movies.
Guy or gal, any age -- I would recommend this movie w/o a second thought. It was a lot of fun.
