What I find baffling is just how awful the trailers for this one are.  Same deal with Meet the Spartans - which is AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL, but there were a couple points that I found funny (It's a stupid joke, but calling the INCREDIBLY OBVIOUSLY TRAITOROUS Spartan in 300 "Traitoro" was funny, especially the reveal of his name), and they're not in the trailer. 

How can they make such bad trailers?  It boggles my mind.  Also, where do they spend $15 million plus on these films?  They could do them for 1/10th that and it'd be funnier.  Just look at youtube and find a few random funny low budget directors (or even somebody like the guys who do Ask a Ninja).  Most of them would love to be able to have a few hundred thousand to throw around.  And it would DEFINITELY be a better film.

For a much better parody of TWILIGHT, which cost only pocket change to make, check out Low Budget Picture's TAINTLIGHT.  Sick, sophomoric humor but it actually does manage to hit TWILIGHT a few times really good, particularly in the overuse of the "blued" effect and "Edgar Mullins"' facial expressions.  Plus, replace stupid vampire baseball with amusing vampire frisbee golf. 

My favorite moment? Instead of having a car almost hit "Stella" and her being saved by "Edgar," she's nearly hit by a drunken mime on an invisible cell phone while driving his invisible car.  Edgar pushes her over (and, incidentally, out of the way).

I Was Out To Get A Haircut Today But There Was A Long Line And The Barber Told Me It Might Take A Few Hours , So I Decided To Use My Spare Time Seeing This Movie , I Have Never Seen Any Of The TWILIGHT Movies (and i hope i never do) but i watched this movie for laughs , there were a couple of semi humorous moments but that's about it



All In All It's Not A Bad Movie To Watch If You Have Some Spare Time and nothing better to do

It's this type of movie which exemplifies what's wrong with "A" movies these days, and society in general. I have no desire to see this, not because I'm a Twilight fan, but because I also have no desire to see the Twilight films and to me, spoofing that franchise it so utterly pointless and obvious that it's ...well..... :lookingup:
I laugh at the thought that anyone will be nostalgic for this type of movie 20 years down the road, let alone 2 years from now. It really sucks that a few bigwigs have the brilliant idea that spoofing way too current trends/movies = funny. That aside, I just got This Is Spinal Tap on DVD for $3 a few days ago. That should be mandatory viewing before any one of those _____ Movie losers decide on doing another spoof s**tfest.

We liked SCARY MOVIE, but I think that was more Wayans than Friedberg/Seltzer.  Never seen any of the other "similar" spoofs mentioned in this thread.

I will say that of older spoof movies, I really liked AIRPLANE (I not II), HOT SHOTS (both), LOADED WEAPON and quite a number of the Leslie Nielson movies.  Some of these were pure art, not all bathroom humor and other middle school level cheap shots.

Karma for that. This is Spinal Tap is my favorite parody of all time.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

I despise these kinds of movies. Epic movie, meet the spartans, scary movie(all of them).... Low brow "humor" just doesn't do it for me. 
I agree 100% A big pile of smelly sh*t.

yea i dont understand it.  why do they keep making these spoofs, they are terrible (scary movie wasnt to bad) but the rest are garbage. why dont these people spend there time, money, and energy to cure cancer or something.  instead they make these movies that probably cause cancer.
