The newest film by [[Seltzer and Friedberg]], and the first one to concentrate of parodying a single franchise, rather than the usual system of parodying a [[Scary Movie|single genre]] or just parodying [[Disaster Movie (Film)|everything they could]] [[Epic Movie (Film)|think of]]. As usual, the film is pretty trope-heavy, with most of them being [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]].

The film is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the [[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]] Saga, and was fairly successful at the box office, perhaps indicating that if there's one thing the public loves to mock more than [[Seltzer and Friedberg]], it's ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]''. While most critics panned the film overall, many of them noted that Jenn Proske's [[Dull Surprise|dull-eyed]] [[Kristen Stewart]] impression almost saves it. In early 2011, the film also earned the distinct honor of competing with ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]'' '''itself''' for ''four'' [[Golden Raspberry Awards]], including Worst Picture.
