While the first Twilight was a good example of what teenage movies should be, this one dipped a little too far into cheesiness for me to not consider it subpar. It was certainly entertaining enough, and the base story was pretty good, but somewhere along the de-shirting, lip-biting and uncontrolled shaking and sobbing, this film lost any pretence of being anything other than a chick flick. There's nothing wrong with that, but, you know, I'm a dude. It's a good excuse for a night out with some friends, but this isn't going to be winning any awards. Just a shitload of money.
In a sentence:
Contains some moments cheesy enough to make the theatre audience laugh, but otherwise puts a pretty decent twist on a formulaic love story, with some light action thrown in for good measure.
