I actually attended a midnight showing (and got my ticket two weeks in advance...) and had a pretty good laugh about how awful the movie turned out to be. As student-teachers, several of my friends and I got sucked in to the series through our Adolescent Literature class and so were among the many fangirls lined up outside to see the movie. The books are a nice, melodramatic "popcorn" type read, but I think too much was lost in the book-> movie transition.
