With The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 finally upon us, MovieFIX is taking a step back in time to when the names Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner didn’t inspire ear-splitting screams and teenage dreams.

Yes, the three lead Twihards haven’t been overnight successes — they’ve all grown up as child stars working for years to get that big break.

Kristen Stewart spent years as ‘that kid from Panic Room‘, but did you know she starred in an Oscar-nominated movie in 2007, just a year before Twilight mania took hold?

And which iconic little superhero did Taylor Lautner originate as a spiky-haired, skinny 13-year-old?

But most importantly … how on earth has Robert Pattinson had so many ridiculous hairstyles in the 16 films he’s made so far?

Hold on tight, peeps, and get ready for some awfully cute and sometimes just plain awful pics of the Twilight stars before and after they became famous:

According to the Sydney Morning Herald,

Universal, 8.30pmComedian Catherine Tate and Twilight’s Robert Pattinson star in this touching British telemovie based on Kate Long’s novel. Tate plays Karen Cooper, who feels life has passed her by while she’s been taking care of other people. She became a mum too young and is now looking after her own mother (Anne Reid), who has Alzheimer’s. As the story begins, Karen is applying for her birth certificate so she can get a passport and visit Paris. But her teenage daughter Charlie (Holly Grainger) becomes pregnant, bringing simmering resentments between them to an ugly boil. To make matters worse, Karen’s birth certificate reveals she was adopted. An absorbing, warts-and-all family drama that doesn’t descend into sickly sentimentality.

America’s favourite vampire keeps popping up in various movies that we either forgot about or never heard about. One such film is The Bad Mother’s Handbook, a one-off television drama based on the best-selling novel by Kate Long. It was broadcast on ITV in England in 2007, and made its way to DVD in North America this month. Starring Catherine Tate, Anne Reid, Holly Grainger and Robert Pattinson, the show received strong viewing when it was originally shown on television.

The Bad Mother’s Handbook depicts the story of one year in the lives of three women. Tate plays Karen, who is a frustrated woman in her thirties whose whole life and identity are shattered when she discovers a long-kept secret. Grainger plays Karen’s clever and hormonal teenage daughter Charlotte, while Anne Reid appears as Karen’s mother, Nan, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Pattinson is Charlotte’s nerdy new friend, Daniel Gale.

The movie presents an insight into the life of motherhood and childhood, dwelling on the themes that no two mothers are alike, but that ultimately love is the most important thing of all.

It’s a bit like a British version of Juno, with the exception that none of the characters are loveable. In fact, the only real emotional response is the hate one feels for Karen. Grainger plays Karen perfectly as a heartless “bad” mother. It takes her daughter’s venture into motherhood before she breaks down and shows her affection. Pattinson is more of a supporting character, which started off dry and lame, but eventually grew on me.

Maybe it’s the “chick-flick” factor, but I just didn’t understand the need for this movie. Similar to Juno, it wasn’t really a love story or a compelling look at one’s life, but more of a hard luck look at a chapter in the character’s lives. As a book it has a place and is well written, but as a movie it seems rather lame.

If we’re to believe the DVD box art, “The Bad Mother’s Handbook” will give the boy-crazy fans of dreamy “Twilight” vampire Robert Pattinson a lingering look at his dreamy face.

Alas, this is sleight of hand.

In all but his final scene, Pattinson is wearing glasses that Michael Caine would laugh at, and straggly hair covers his eyes. Playing a socially awkward transfer student, Pattinson is constantly looking at the floor to boot. His supporting role deserves, at best, fourth-billing.
The pleasant surprise is that this 2007 British TV movie — obviously released on DVD here to cash in on Pattinsonmania — is funny, dramatic, well-written and watchable.

The film belongs to three characters. Karen (Catherine Tate) is a single mom who has had it up to here with submerging her needs and identity to care for her ailing and increasingly absent-minded mother, Nan (Anne Reid), not to mention her bratty teenage daughter, Charlotte (Holly Grainger).

Pattinson is quite good as a boy from an upper-class family who falls for lower-class Charlotte, helping her through the pregancy with advice on the right kind of desserts. (Soft ice cream from a truck is a no-no.)
DVD extras include the U.S. trailer, which makes “The Bad Mother’s Handbook” seem like an “American Pie” sequel. Subtitles will help you decipher all of that British slang. (Hint: “Summat” means “something.”)
