ROBsessed

Ok, I know what you're thinking.  Why on earth did I watch this?  I got it as a birthday present.  I love R Patz but I probably wouldn't have bought this on my own.

ROBsessed is a documentary of Superstar Robert Pattinson's life.  It has some great photos, good sources and an indepth look at where his fame began.  Believe it or not, this guys story is what every young actor out there dreams about.  One day he's a brooding musician, playing gigs at open mic nights and the next he's Edward Cullen, a heartthrob vampire in one of the world's biggest movie franchises ever.

The documentary pretty much gushes over how pretty he is and how he came from humble beginnings with a taste for dramatic acting and music.  There is no RAW footage of R.Pattz at all.  Neither he nor his family or any of his costars are interviewed.  Some of his early indy directors, a playhouse director and photographers are interviewed, but no one truly close to him.  I was a little disappointed that we didn't actually see R.Pattz in his natural habitat, just had people talking about it.  That being said it is an eye opening documentary in the sense that you do feel like you know him a little bit better by the end.


Rating: 1.0★ stars (out of 5)
Recommendation: Only diehard fans will get real enjoyment out of this documentary.  Buy it only for those who truly are ROBsessed.
