Teenage romance spotlights Kristen Stewart

Rating: 6/10 (11 April 2009)

In a teenage romance written, directed and mostly made by women (see credits), a pretty teen girl seeks love with the bad kid and finds he's not so very bad after all. There are worse traits in a guy than being a vampire and living in a coven. For example, he could have been an ACORN worker fraudulently registering voters in the battleground state of Washington. But no, he just has this vampire thing and he's trying to go veg. Truthfully, the whole coven of vampires seem pretty nice, and if they moved into my neighborhood I could do worse.
Men, for certain, will like Kristen Stewart. She's pretty, petite, slender, small-breasted -- all the physical things I like; plus if you read about her she also has good values. The real question is what do girls really want. This movie gives you the answer. From the novel's author, going right through the movie's 76% female credits, they are telling us they want an interesting bad guy and they want to apply their love to make him over.
As a vampire movie, Twilight is awful. Even the "bad" vampires aren't so bad. But Twilight is NOT a vampire movie; it's pure romance. Not bad.
