Let me start by saying that, before seeing this movie, I had only heard about Twilight in conversations with my girlfriend. That being said, Twilight is the epitome of a "Chick Flick". It has all the cliches of said genre: overly good looking, overly sensitive guy, the slightly homely girl that, in real life, the guy would never give the light of day, and a complication filled relationship.

 But this film throws in a twist: Dude's a vampire. Commence the groaning from the majority of the male population.

Yes. As it turns out, in the early 1900s, Edward Cullen (which suspiciously rhymes with sullen, which is how the no name actor portrays his character) is a deathly sick 17 year old.

Apparently, the teachers at the school Edward and his fellow vampire bretheren attend are too stupid to realize they have had these students for the last 15 years. Then one magical day, a new student appears in the halls of this small Washington town high school. But, to Edward at least, something is different about her. From then on, we are handed a derivitive plot pulled from out of nowhere. Silly coffee shop chatter, and an unlikely baseball game make for the movie's more interesting pieces.

As for the actors, they are all... too... stiff... They make the cast of American Pie look like classically trained Shakespearian actors. And, seriously, whoever decided that these two kids are "gorgeous" needs their eyes checked.

The vast majority of people seeing this movie are being dragged by their significant others. Try to make them see the error of their ways.
