i think alice is cute. i really try not to pay attention to what goes on in their private lives. in the books, bella is described as not really very pretty, very clumsy etc. and that’s part of why she can’t believe that Edwards loves her, because she sees him as so far out of her league. My daughters can’t stand Stewart. and have you heard of pattinson’s hygiene issues, how he doesn’t bathe regularly etc. It is beyond disgusting! i manage to suspend real life and just enjoy the escapism that the movies provide. I am also not 100% convinced that Robert Pattinson is hetero, despite all the stories of he and Kristin Stewart supposedly dating in real life.
Her mannerisms (Alice’s) crack me up. I don’t know much about the actress who plays her, but she is cute.
Aside from the grungy appearance, I think sometimes Kristen Stewart’s “clumsiness” is poorly acted. But that’s just me. As I said, I don’t really care for her, but it is nice to escape into a movie, especially with all the nonsense in Washington these days.
(I don’t really care much for Pattinson, but I think in this movie he did a better job than in the first as Edward. I do think the guy who plays Jacob is perfectly cast, though.)
