The best romancer so far this year.

“I do teens”, says Robert Pattinson’s Tyler as he tries to seduce “Lost” star Emilie de Ravin. Yes- how well we know Pattinson owns teen and pre-teen girls so well with the “Twilight” franchise and now he proves he can do adults too.
You don’t have to be a teen to appreciate this story of young lovers scarred by earlier tragedies. No young actor broods better than Pattinson these days and he rarely cracks a smile this time. But at least he gets to consummate his love!!
I was so caught up in the story; I actually spoke out loud at the climax. Pretty loudly as a matter of fact I gasped “Oh no!!!!”. Totally hooked me. But I have to say the sexes are divided on this one. The guys I checked in with HATED this melodrama and trash Pattinson as a James Dean wanna-be. I was totally sucked in. Sorry, couldn’t refuse the pun.
Plus we get to enjoy a better-looking than ever Pierce Brosnan in his 3rd film in less than a month.
