So long as there are people, there will be love stories -- I hope they all feel as lush and lively as this one.

I am not ashamed to admit that I will be the first in line for Twilight part three.

Sara Vilkomerson, New York Observer

If only director Chris Weitz had managed to tease out the real drama -- Bella's fear of aging -- instead of a tired one.

Louisa Thomas, Newsweek
Rotten

A landmark cinematic event in 280 words, or one for every $500,000 of weekend box office.

Christopher Orr, The New Republic

It has an amazing kind of emotional integrity and intensity.
