5 Reasons Remember Me's Tyler Hawkins Might Be As Lovable as Twilight's Edward Cullen
From the first time my eyes saw the words "Edward Cullen" in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight book, it was love at first read. Every line out of his mouth made my heart melt just a little bit more. (It went as far as me forcing my mom to read the books so she could get to know her "future son-in-law" -- seriously!)
And when Rob Pattinson was cast to play him in the The Twilight Saga films, my obsession for Team Edward spiked to a whole new level. His brooding looks, those little smiles cracking from the corners of his lips, and the beyond romantic ways he did anything and everything.
So when I first saw the trailers for Rob's new film, Remember Me (opening March 12), I was fully aware this was no Edward Cullen. And in all honesty, nothing about the preview made me want to see the film. Sure, I'm a sucker for a coming-of-age tale packed with romance, but he just seemed so unrelatable.
And then I found out the ending. I won't spoil it for you guys, but accidentally finding out how it concluded made me need to see the film... right away. And luckily enough, last Monday after covering the red carpet premiere of the film and chatting with all the cast and crew about it, I was able to see it right away. And W-O-W.
Let's just say, this is one affective film that will stick with you for the rest of your life. But a big part of it is the way that Rob plays the very-human character of Tyler Hawkins.
So I'm officially launching Team Tyler right now... starting with my Top 5 reasons you might just fall in love with Tyler as much as Edward (I won't go as far as saying more than Tyler...yet...)
1- The lamely adorable way he picks up girls -- just wait until you see him work the charm with Ally (Emilie de Ravin).
2- The too-cute way he says, "Abso-freakin'-lutely!" to his little sister Caroline (Ruby Jerins) when she asks if he'll go to her art show.
3- His heart-wrenching relationship with his deceased older brother... so close that the moment he falls in love, he rushes off to write to him about her at their favorite diner.
4- His determination -- he does everything he can to win Ally a gigantic bear at the carnival... and ends up paying for it!
5- The big brother heart that has him carrying a pink sleeping bag, defending her against mean girls, and reading stories about Greek gods to her in bed to make her feel better. Awww!
So get ready to fall in love with another of Rob's characters (I started way back with Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire!) in a whole new way!

Ahhh what a sweet article, and I totally agree! I fell in love with Tyler just on paper, so I already know what Rob is going to do to me in this movie...
This part was made for him, just like Edward was!!!!
This really is a very cute article. Who can resist the power of Rob!?!
Chalk another one up for our man. Rob, we've always had your back!!!! You are so deserving.
cute article--just can't wait for the 12th (and 13th)
AGree, so sweet.
Following Rob where ever he goes. From Cedric, to Edward, to Tyler, I'm there.
Thanks Kat.
Wish I could watch on evening of 11th but no GO. Summit are idiots. Not promoting this like Twilight. Not Smart at all. GRRRRR
Great little article and ITA. When you see Tyler interact with the other characters esp. his sister, it is precious. Rob really kills it in this movie. The range of emotion is breathtaking. I will always love Edward, but Tyler is a close second. A very, very close second.
Support Remember Me on Saturday, March 13, 2010!!!!
oh yasss! The Tyler/Rob verdict?
It has to be Rob! It has to be...!
I can't wait either to hear him say all those things especially defending his baby sister from mean girls! Who wouldn't do anything for him after that?
And here's one of my own...i'm sure it's prolly all of yours too...
'what's goin' on here?' after Ally tells him her father doesn't know what's goin' on here. Meaning their relationship and how close they are about to get! Oooooo...how wonderful is that?
The sound of Robert Pattinson's voice when he speaks...it can be english or amerilish, juuuuust doesn't matter! It's just the way he sounds when air vibrates through his vocal chords!
And to heighten the affect get both the soundtracks! The musical version of background music and then the singers on the other sorry am an idiot since Robert hit the scene...have lost all sense of meaning of words or whatever the word for that is it's late gotta go to work in a few...RL SUCKS! :P
This is a beautiful and sweet article... Somebody who would join us on Robsessed I guess... LOL...
A lovely article, and the nice thing is the reviewer wasn't even very keen to see the film to begin with. And at least she doesn't reveal the ending...
I can't believe only 4 days to go!! I can't wait to see all these scenes!
Who else but Rob could have done this role in a more sensitive manner? You're right, sissidelyon, the article is a beautiful and sweet one, just like Rob.
It's so nice to share him, isn't it? His glow is like a candle that's used to ignite others into a blinding light. He warms the soul and beckons our emotions.
FILTM!
...you ladies said it all!
Umm, is it Friday yet? I have a feeling this week is going to go by REALLY slowly. Four days and counting for my Rob fix. Ugh!
I LOVE those 5 reasons.........new ideas to me.......his charm is so magnetic and charismatic we are all so drawn to him. Gosh I wish I had 1/100th of his magnetism.
