The big screen adaptation of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance, is focused on the main demographic: teenage girls whose idea of Prince Charming is a turbulent, pale, Undead teenager who could murder you directly at any time. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who moves to the rainy season gray town Forks, Wash. To live with her father (Billy Burke), the local sheriff who is surprised by a series of animal attacks. " On her first day at school, Bella seems to be (visible) disgusted her lab partner, Edward (Robert Pattinson). Does the smell of her blood, the vampire's "brand of heroin", and his struggle not to kill her caused an irresistible pull to her. Whether he is recruited for the normal reasons or because they smell especially sweet for him is vague in the book and even less clear on the screen; nevertheless Bella falls hopelessly in love with Edward, who was on a dangerous road, where a few nomad vampires appear in the city, a particularly excited about the keeping of man. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full of funny moments - not all of which are deliberately - and the casting of Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. The weakest link, unfortunately Pattinson. While it certainly seems part Edward could have used an extra injection of testosterone (Pattinson, which Britten, James Dean used as a model for his American accent). In scenes where he growls on the temptation to kill those who would harm Bella, or flitting around a bunch of warning her how dangerous he is, he is more like a whimpering puppy than a monster Debonair. The good news is, his chemistry with Stewart (especially their big kissing scene) is felt, which, let's be honest, is what matters most Twilight fans.
