Twilight

So last night I went to the Twilight Movie Premiere Party at the Jordan District. It was fun to get together with hundreds of other moms that love Twilight! The movie was what I expected. I didn't like Edward but I went into it knowing I didn't like Edward. I tried to like him but I just couldn't do it. That actor is just not even close to what I had in mind when I was reading the book. I didn't like his make-up or hair and felt he was overacting his part most of the time. The characters I did like were Bella, Carlise, Esme, Emmett, Jacob, and Charlie. The characters I didn't like were Edward, Jasper (just weird), Rosalie (not the drop dead gorgeous model described in the book), Alice (she looked the part, but couldn't seem to act it quite right). Everyone elses parts were so small that it didn't matter much. There were parts of the movie that I really liked and then other parts that were really cheesy. I did like the comedy that they had throughout the movie. They did a pretty good job of following the book but had to fit so much into 2 hours that it did feel a little rushed. Overall it was fun to watch and entertaining but it definately was not the same experience I had reading the book.
