Film: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
Within the first thirty seconds Taylor Lautner (wolf boy) has torn off his shirt to reveal that taut, toned torso, setting audience members' pulses racing and prompting rollicking laughter from yours truly. The film knows its audience, that much can be said of it, and, I have to admit, I was quite excited by the prompt flash of Taylor's torso.
The film continues in a similar vein. An unintentionally comic vein, that is. Not long after a Bella-style dramatic dream in which the party of wedding guests have been massacred and their bodies piled high (by her undead husband-to-be??), the pair are in an exotic location happily honeymooning. Reading between the lines you may gather that I am not what they call a 'Twi-hard'.
The long awaited consummation finally arrives in this instalment of the saga and following a night of vampiric lovemaking the pair awake to find their bridal bed destroyed. The sex scenes however are decidedly tame especially when compared with the graphic birth scenes towards the close of the film. Another stand out comic moment is when Bella is offered a plastic cup of human blood to drink through a straw in order to help restore some of her strength and feed her unborn child. I could not watch this film without continually asking myself if the producers were aware of just how funny it is.
