Poorly written, but the acting was... well, bad

Rating: 1/10 (24 January 2009)

The book I understand was pretty good. This screenplay was obviously aimed at girls aged 23 and under and is crap. Skip it. Maybe someone will do a remake in 20 years that's worthwhile. I will say the director did a fair job with the actors she was given. The male lead has that sullen "I'm actually a sensitive but complicated guy underneath all this unavailability" quality that I, and a lot of other boys, had when I was 15. But it's hard to buy from a "life form" that's supposed to be a hundred years old. I realize that it's a vampire movie and isn't supposed to be reality. That said the characters, with the exception of the female lead, aren't very well developed and leave a lot to be desired before they become capable of inspiring anything in an audience.
