The entire film, I was deeply annoyed. For one, I thought Pattinson would be able to pull a Zac Efron and play something he didn't straight out of his infamously bad (within the movie community, not within little girls, so please don't bother arguing for Twilight). Maybe, with a good movie, he could prevent typecasting. The only change here was that he didn't glitter. The entire film was him pulling off an awful accent (as did everyone) and brooding. If I wanted to see him sad and sulky in a poorly written and obvious film, then I'd watch Twilight (no, but I'd never do that again). And the worst part is they knew it would be obvious, so they threw in THAT ending. I won't say it, because it's technically a spoiler, but it's in the parental advisory thing if you want to find out. The point is it was offensive, not that it's not allowed in films, but in a film this bad in a way that really wasn't needed, I just felt like it was disrespectful. And the Tate Ellington character that was supposed to be the comedic relief from all of Robert Pattison bitching, well, they tried to make the character funny, but you just ended up hating him just as much because he wasn't funny and he was just obnoxious. Pierce Brosnan (in an equally awkward accent) had one of two decent scenes. His was the much needed yelling at Pattinson, letting Pattinson know that he's annoying. And the other scene was one involving Pattinson bitching out a little girl (his equal match). All of the pleasure you may get out of this film (if you aren't some stupidly desperate teenager who believes that Robert Pattinson makes good movies simply because he was a vampire once) will be destroyed by the end. If you really liked the ending, you missed the point or your mind has been hypnotized by Pattinson's "dreaminess." Which he doesn't have. His eyebrows scare me.
Don't see it, is the point.

When a film is so bad it's good, it isn't met with high expectations. You know what you're getting into. The worst film you can think of that has zero potential and reaches said nothing by being just terrible will delight any movie buff who loves to complain. While films like Transformers 2 are just awful, a bad movie that's so bad it's good needs to have the following: 1) Low budget 2) Terrible acting 3) Almost no redeeming qualities 4) Low expectations While transformers 2 or other big budget bull might be considered bad, that's because of how high the potential was. But when a movie has nothing and instead of taking the ball and running with it, it just drops and does absolutely nothing good, this is hilarity. I happen to own Plan 9 From Outer Space and wish to order a copy of Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus when I can (btw: Mega Sharks the cool one) out of my love of a film that can just not even try. This was hilarious. Any one who appreciates Ed Wood films for what they are (or aren't) will understand why this film is simply amazing. The reason I say 10/10 is not because I think this film is good, it's because it dropped so low that it is in a league of awfulness. And it's the best in that league.
Wow. Just wow. It's almost the perfect example of Hollywood losing: A)Originality B) Talent C) Taste D) Self-Respect E) Dignity I mean, whatkind of farce is this? I was hoping the film wouldn't take itself too seriously and it'd be a joke of films. I left and couldn't tell whether it was an unfunny parody, or a terrible done... anything else. If you want to keep your dignity and hope for the film industry, stay home. Please. I really hope you take this advice so my faith in people doesn't entirely run dry, as it nearly did after viewing this, not because of it's overbearingly moronic message but because somebody actually wrote this. It brings a shudder to my spine.
