The bratlet’s been wanting to see it so I went ahead and bought the DVD for her for Christmas and we watched it last night. I pretty much knew the plot-hey, I’m a romance writer and I hang out online a lot. I had some idea of what was going to happen.
I can’t say I was disappointed, nor can I say I was pleasantly surprised. The movie was okay. I loved the dad. I liked how he was cleaning his gun when Edward shows up *G*. Made me laugh like a loon and get the look from my ten year old. I liked Alice. The gazebo deal at the prom with all the lights? Pretty. And thinking back, the baseball game was kinda fun.
That’s about it. It’s a cute teenaged love story and if I was a teen, I’d have probably been blown away by it. As it is now, eh, I’ve done too many vamps and I’ve seen too many ‘forbidden’ love movies for this one to have really knocked my socks off.
I can see the appeal for some, but I’m not going to be lining up to see the third movie and while I know New Moon is still in theaters? We’re waiting until it hits DVD, too.
