When Kyle invited me to review movies, this was the last movie I thought I would have to watch. When the first book was a big hit, I made an attempt to read it to see if it was any good, Harry Potter had a similar buzz years before and turned out to be something really pretty good. The same couldn’t be said for Twilight. I remember reading a line early on, something like “Neither of us were what you would call verbose,” which was strike one, I’m pretty sure I got to strike three before the fiftieth page.
My simple review for this film boils down to this: It’s not good at all! Surprisingly I found a way to enjoy it more than I did the other selection for this month, and it’s all thanks to the commentary track on the dvd. I first attempted to watch it as intended, but kept thinking that a made for TV Lifetime version would probably have been more entertaining, and not just because it would have commercials. So after finishing roughly half of the movie, I started it over with the commentary on, and to my surprise, I found it somewhat enjoyable.
