Certainly one of the funniest films of the year, it's almost astonishing that Breaking Dawn can take itself as seriously as it does. There are telepathic wolves, blood smoothies, and the least subtle abortion debate in cinematic history. All of them make this outrageously campy and too fun for words, but it's almost astonishing that something as dreary and dreadful as this film series has such a massive and devoted fanbase.
Strangest of all is how utterly devoid of romance it is despite starting with an endless wedding which leads into the wackiest honeymoon ever. Stewart and Pattinson lack more chemistry together than ever. When she loses her virginity, it's a comic scene on a grand scale. Then the next day they uncomfortably discuss how it was the greatest sex imaginable, but only after it's revealed Stewart was severely bruised in the process. Seriously. How are teenage girls allowed to obsess over this? Don't they have parents?
