Here's my take. The movie was great! I can't wait to see it again! Alice and Bella was perfect casts. Rosalie wasn't what I thought she should be but, she did a good job with the character. The rest of the vampires were okay. I liked the cast of Charlie. Jacob was adorable and for a split second that I considered switching to Team Jacob. I didn't like the casting for Edward but I thought he did a great job acting and he has grown on me. I loved the version of Bella's Lullaby and I liked that the movie stuck mostly to the storyline in the book.It took $37 million to make the movie. This weekend, as #1 in the box office, it brought in $70 million and was 3rd highest ever in advanced ticket sells. The soundtrack is #2 on iTunes but, why they only sell the entire album is beyond me.
I think every woman should read the books since so many women have read them. I get asked on the bus, when I get my hair done, and pretty much every where I go, "Have you read the vampire books?" Now we can add the movie to the list on discussions. It was a fun way to spend a girls night out. I'm just happy to think I was there and part of it all.

It was fab! I can't wait to see it again either.
I spent most of the two hours trying not to bust a hole in my side because I was laughing so hard. There was so much cheese in the room I had to double check that I wasn't at Gosner's. I just didn't get it. Perhaps I'll blog more about it on my blog, I'm trying to partcipate in NaBloPoMo ya know and I'm running low on material.
I also had a great time I was dissapointed after because I did get to talk to you there were so many people and then I looked and you were gone! I did'nt like the movie as much as most. I loke my version that I had painted in my head from reading the books bettter. But it was still great to get out and have fun with the girls!
I liked the movie too. I didn't really like who they casted as Edward until later in the movie. He seemed to grow on you. If you haven't read the Midnight Sun (which is Edward's version of Twilight) you might want to. It really enlightened some of what Edward was thinking or why it was doing what he did. You can find it on Stephanie Meyer's website. Her draft got leaked and she published it to be read. She said it she wouldn't finish that book. Anyway, give me a call and we can chat about it more sometime.
I loved seeing the movie with you and hanging out with your married friends! I'm the crazy one who drove and hour and stood in line for an hour because none of my single friends were available to see it. I need to get a life.
