Terrible adaptation of a mediocre book.

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2009)

I have a 12 year old stepdaughter who basically forced me to read the book. I was not all that impressed by the book and was hoping for a better movie. What a disappointment! I could barely sit through the movie, and the only thing that made it slightly tolerable was the "decent" acting of Stewart and Pattinson.
I would say wait to rent this pile of garbage, or maybe, just wait for cable. I'm not sure I would even waste the money renting the thing. I expected so much more with all the hype. Maybe New Moon will be better. I would think that a change of director would be in order. Get someone with a bit more experience.
