Twilight in Forks

Though positioned as a documentary about the town of Forks, Washington (where the Twilight films and books take place), make no mistake about it—this is little more than a love letter to the teen-angst-and-vampire series and its obsessive, adoring fans. I’d be on board for that, too, if the film was at all interested in examining why it is that Twilight has inspired such feverish devotion in such a huge and varied population of fans. Unfortunately, that’s not this movie. This movie simply wants to give the fans a forum in which to express their love of the books and films, covering everyone from teenage girls to older moms to high school teachers and, in one instance, a middle-aged man with a goofy blonde dye job. Some of the participants are thoughtful and well-spoken when they plead their case, such as the teacher who says it’s not fair to write off the fans or Meyer’s books when they mean so much to people. Others are arrogant, insulting the cults of Star Wars or Star Trek as “weirdos” while bragging about how accepting the Twi-hards are (for the record, few fan groups are more accepting than Star Trek fans). But Twilight in Forks seems to side with them both, and that’s where the problem is.
