Synopsis
High school romance is difficult enough to navigate when both people are human.
But for 17-year-old Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart, INTO THE WILD) and Edward
Cullen (Robert Pattinson, HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE), Edward's life
as a vampire complicates things even more. At first, when Bella moves from
sunny Phoenix to the rainiest corner of Washington State, she isn't sure where
she fits in at her new high school. Then she meets Edward, an ethereal beauty
of a boy whose unnatural speed and strength lead Bella to the conclusion that
her new crush is one of the undead. Suddenly, Bella's boring life is
transformed; she's surrounded by love and danger in equal parts, thanks to the
hunger of Edward and others of his kind. TWILIGHT is based on the first book in
the addictive series by author Stephenie Meyer. Director Catherine Hardwicke
(THIRTEEN) certainly knows her audience, which is primarily the teenage girls
who worship the book and its characters. There are plenty of swoonworthy shots
of Pattinson's perfectly pale Edward, and his romance with Stewart's nicely
acted Bella will cause many a sigh among the devoted fans. While TWILIGHT is
primarily a love story in the ROMEO AND JULIET mold, there's also plenty of
action and horror to be found. Blood flows (this is a vampire movie, after
all), but the small amount of gore shouldn't be too much for the squeamish
viewers--and it might even draw a boy or two to the screen. The film's
record-breaking box office take alone is proof that the film's appeal isn't
limited to screaming teen girls.
