Overall, I enjoyed the movie, mostly because I saw how much my girlfriend loved the books. Some of the scenes can definitely seem "cheesy" (e.g. - the baseball scene), but it was actually in the book, I so I suspended my belief and accepted it.

Acting. It's not great, but I've definitely seen worse in my own personal genre preference (sci-fi, fantasy, action). Hopefully the new movie can improve upon the pitfalls that this one fell into. Maybe I gave the movie a fair shake due to my bias of liking vampire movies. Personally, I preferred a sappy teenage movie that I can roll my eyes at, at times, over the ridiculous and godawful "Vampires" from John Carpenter.
