Trishelle got me to watch this movie by convincing me that I could watch it like MST3K and mock and laugh the whole time. I tried. I tell you, there wasn't enough content to mock. There was no story line in this movie (well there was, they just decided not to include it, you know the whole back story, werewolf Indians protecting us from vampires etc...). There was no dialogue it was like watching a romance without the sound. It was like looking at a video of someone else's scrapbook, "oh, do you remember that honey." They needed a snarfblat! Got very boring!
Now beyond the fact that it took 2 hrs to show 15 min of plot there were major problems with that 15 minutes. I'll start at the beginning, honestly her family didn't need to be in the movie they didn't advance a story line, and you could have saved some time by just removing her family. She narrated the whole beginning anyway, so why not just sum it up in a brief narration.
Every single high school scene seemed as though it was written by someone who was home schooled.
Next, who goes online to lookup a book then drives to town to buy it only to glance through it and instead of reading the information in the book goes online to lookup what the book says.
Every relationship begins with a really weak confrontation for some reason. No one talks, but they each offend grossly and then suddenly it's forgotten and they're friends now.
Baseball! Honestly! I guess Harry had Quidditch so Vampires have to have something.
The final climax with the bad vampires was weak, unexplained and uninteresting a whole lot of running and still no talking. Even though this girl is now in the inner circle they still don't ever explain anything to her, but she's ok with that because she just wants to be a drooling slave to a vegetarian vampire who thinks of her as food.
Did you notice the make-up the vampire's face was white while his neck was normal color same with his hands vs. arms.
Do you remember the special effects. You did see those wires right (look at the picture)? Jumping from tree to tree, and running up a mountain with a person piggyback. At least I got a laugh out of those. It's as though they forgot to pay the effects guy!There's more, but I can't take this much more. I felt dumber for having watched this movie. I'll leave you with one last thing to contemplate...
Glitter?!?

Glad you liked it so much. And I'm especially glad I didn't watch it WITH you. ;)
I have to agree. Personally I kept wondering why everyone thought it was so good. It was like because everyone was so depressed and angst ridden that it must be deep and soulfull, making it therfore good.
