Honest Trailers Season 1 Episode 20 Honest Trailers - Twilight 4: Breaking Dawn

  • May 5, 2013

In this episode of Honest Trailers, we dive into the final film of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. With all its cringe-worthy moments and over-the-top romance, Breaking Dawn takes Twilight fans on a wild ride to the end of the vampire and werewolf saga.

The trailer begins with some jabs at the series' premise, specifically with the "forbidden love" between human protagonist Bella Swan and mysterious vampire Edward Cullen. Our narrator highlights how the plot relies heavily on the vampire's ability to "glitter in the sun" and the werewolves' tendency to strip down when they transform.

As Bella and Edward tie the knot and head off on their honeymoon, they soon discover that Bella is pregnant - with a half-vampire, half-human baby that is growing at an alarming rate. Suddenly, the stakes are higher than ever before, as Bella's life is at risk from the growing fetus inside her.

The trailer does not hold back on the absurdity of the plot, pointing out how the Cullens' solution to Bella's pregnancy is to "keep her away from everyone and hope she doesn't die." Meanwhile, the werewolves - including Bella's best friend Jacob - are up in arms about the impending arrival of the half-vampire child.

As Bella's pregnancy reaches its climax, the film becomes even more bizarre, with the baby's supernatural abilities causing chaos in the delivery room. Our narrator jokes about the gratuitous amounts of blood and violence, and the fact that "this is still a teen romance movie, right?"

But despite all the cheesiness, Breaking Dawn has some redeeming qualities, from the stunning visuals to the committed performances of stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. The trailer acknowledges the talent of the cast, even as it pokes fun at their melodramatic dialogue and over-the-top facial expressions.

Overall, Honest Trailers - Twilight 4: Breaking Dawn is a hilarious critique of a film that has become a cultural touchstone for a generation of fans. From the strange plot twists to the awkward sex scenes, this episode will have viewers laughing along with the Honest Trailers crew as they dissect one of the most infamous vampire movies of all time.
