Twilight (2008) **

A vampire film pretending to be a high school flick ? "Pretty In Pink" meets "Dracula" ? John Hughes channeling Tod Browning ? "Pride And Prejudice" with fangs ? Anyway, all the "vampire" stuff is really just a smokescreen for an ordinary "a-rich-boy-trying-to-be-abstinent-while-a-poor-girl-is-willing-to-go-all-the-way" teen romance. Average in every respect.
