Among the many things I did while in New Jersey this past week was go see the new Twilight movie with my sister.It was, truly, one of the best worst movies I've seen in a while. It's so campy and silly that it's almost delicious. And it looks like the filmmakers are in on the joke. (The actor who plays Jacob is shirtless within the first 10 seconds of the movie.)
They've pulled a Harry Potter and split the final Twilight book into two parts. Unfortunately, unlike the final Harry Potter book, the source material in no way supports this decision. Since all the fangirls will go see it anyway, I suppose it's financially a good decision.
Anyway, back to the movie. It was, as my sister put it, craptacular. Or, as my favorite review put it, "Breaking Dawn is where the Twilight series goes straight-up cuckoopants." The whole series has kind of played like something Stephenie Meyer should have written down to show her therapist and the latest installment is no exception.
I'd only recommend you see a Twilight movie if you know what you're getting yourself into. You know who you are.
