I am at a complete loss to understand how anyone could make a spoof of The Twilight Saga and not be able to provide one single laugh...not a chuckle, not a smile, not even a smirk. Alas, leave it to Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the most consistently awful filmmakers working in Hollywood, to do just that. They have a long history of making godawful movies...think Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, and Disaster Movie. But, I would wager that none of their past releases have had this must potential or been this unfunny. Let's face it, Twihards, when you are swooning over Robert Pattinson staring lovingly at a moody Kristen Stewart, there is a part of you...however slight...that wants to burst out laughing. Of course, you don't, lest you be jumped while leaving the midnight screening in your "Team Jacob" T-shirt. I get it...I'm a fan of the franchise, but I totally see the humor in it. It's melodramatic and overly-serious, almost to the point of being a comedy, itself. Such a great spoof movie could have been made about The Twilight Saga...but I don't think there is a great movie in Jason Friedberg or Aaron Seltzer, or even a mediocre one. There is only one type of movie this pair knows how to make...one that is completely, undeniably awful.
