Review

To say that pop culture is obsessed with Robert Pattinson would be an understatement. We magnify everything from his perfectly hung jeans, to his unruly tousled hair, to his favorite ripped teeshirt. In the all new documentary titled Robsessed fans are catapulted into a dream universe where everything revolves around Robert Pattinson. In the film, fans get exclusive never before heard tidbits from Pattinson's life, documented by his fellow colleagues, teachers, neighbors, and journalists. Ride along, as his drama teacher describes the passion and talent the young Pattinson displayed while his coworker talks about modeling with him back in the day. Hold on tight because Robsessed is an hour full of thrills, screams, and maybe a tear or two as you uncover the mystery behind one of the most obsessed about actors in pop culture today. The unassuming Robert Pattinson was very bashful and hesitant while preparing for the role of the quote-unquote perfect man. Apparently, four pages into the book, Rob was taken aback by the perfection of the character and was extremely nervous and not at all confident about the role. It was that humbleness that caught the attention of Kristen Stewart when they first met at the Twilight director's house. Rob was there to screen test for the role and Stewart who was instrumental in picking Edward had already seen 4,999 wrong Edward's before Pattinson won her over. The chemistry was perfect and the rest played out like a movie. Pattinson became an international and beloved superstar and from here on out has more opportunities than he had ever dreamed possible. If you think that was a lot of new Rob details to learn, just wait until you immerse yourself in the hour plus long documentary all about RPattz. Obsess about Rob's unruly sexy hair and find out how he gets that bed head look so perfect, get to the bottom of the smelly rumors, and listen to the experts who talked KStew and RPattz dating rumors. The secrets of Robert Pattinson will be unleashed on November 10th when Robsessed comes to DVD. --Colleen Joyce, PopStar.com

'Robert Pattinson, Object of Obsession'. Yvonne Villarreal is a contributor to Hero Complex who may or may not be obsessed with a certain actor who appears in 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon,'. She sent in this report on a new documentary that promises 'All Areas Accessed'. I've been doing my homework with the new breathless documentary 'Robsessed.' For instance, I now know that when Robert Pattinson was a child, his sisters dressed him up in girls' clothes and called him Clare. I also know that Rob is the youngest of three kids, that his father imported vintage cars from the States and that his mum pulled a paycheck as the booker at a model agency. This is important stuff here, revelatory factoids that will help me prepare the all-important small talk when Rob brings me home to meet his parents. People make fun of Rob's disheveled hair, but it's gorgeous chaos if you ask me. It's more than mere fashion affectation -- 'Robsessed' reveals that Rob once won an award at school for the messiest desk. That makes me think he's a naturally rough-around the-edges soul. It also makes me wonder whether I should have gone to school in England. Rob was born on May 13, which means he shares a birthday with Stevie Wonder, & 'Maude' actress Bea Arthur, boxing legend Joe Louis and cult leader Jim Jones, but he has much better hair than any of those people. His middle name is Thomas, which is much better than Clare. The 70-minute 'Robsessed' was directed by Irene Antoniades, who apparently couldn't get people who know Rob well to sit down for extended interviews. Most of the screen time is given to British magazine editors who ve had brief encounters with the actor. There are interviews with his acting teacher and former costar Anne Reid ('The Bad Mother's Handbook') but no childhood friends nor any old girlfriends who might have broken up with him (maybe they're all locked up in insane asylums). A woman who once saw him at a pub gets some air time, which suggests that this isn't exatcly a Ken Burns production. I myself am not in it, but other 'superfans' offer their expert opinion on his dreaminess. It's not all sunny tidbits: It shows that Rob was cast to play Reese Witherspoon s son in 2004 s 'Vanity Fair,' but his scenes were -- gasp! -- cut out. And British film critic Kim Newman makes some intelligent points, suggesting the hysteria surrounding Pattinson has more to do with the Edward Cullen than the actor himself. Yeah, right. Put Carrot Top in the movie and girls would be chasing him down the street, too... I can recommend 'Robsessed' because it also includes some early modeling shots of Pattinson in boxer shorts and black socks. The movie also devotes screen time to an in-depth analysis of Rob's famous coif -- which it weirdly describes as 'finger-lickingly good hair'? I can't wait to ask him about that one. --Yvonne Villarreal, LA Times Hero Complex

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing You Haven't Already Seen. Why Spend $18 When You Get Rob Info Online for FREE? October 9, 2009

By DeadBunnyDip

Being a true fan. It upsets us that companies would want to milk the situation and profit from it. Several reviews have stated that this DVD has NO personal interviews with the subject, and has mostly second/third-hand information. We don't want to hear about what other people want to say about him. We want to see and hear the real deal. Besides, there are a lot of bootleg copies online, so we'll probably just torrent it. OR get it for free, and burn multiple copies of it, and distribute it FOR FREE... :D So, unless Rob Pattinson gets royalties from the MILLIONS of dollars this dvd will make from clueless fans, consider this NOT SOLD.

STOP MAKING MONEY OFF OF POOR ROB.

Stay away from this DVD! Do not support a company that blantantly steals work from fan sites: WORD FOR WORD. No permission granted, just stole blog posts and pictures to promote their video.

SHAME ON YOU.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth your money October 8, 2009

By K. Rielly

Seeing this is an unauthorized biography - much of the information is stuff we already know or information you could obtain for free off many of Rob's wonderful fan sites that already exist on the internet! Having been a teen during Leo-Mania when Titanic was the rage and having bought unauthorized dvd's like these, if I knew then what I know now about the money that goes into these things for company gain without any profit for the actor - I say fail. Do not buy this dvd.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blatant Ripoff for Rob fans, AVOID like a plague October 8, 2009

By Marystat

I wouldn't buy this DVD, I have read enough about it to know I would prefer sticking to search for Rob interviews on youtube and they are FREE, and visit GREAT Rob fansites to get all the info I want about Rob and rare interviews too. Why would I let a company cash in on his fame? If this was an officially released DVD approved by Rob and his representatives I'd happily get it.

Also another thing, there is a website out there, a blog, to promote this, and no I will NOT link to it here..but they are STEALING content from well known Rob blogs, word by word, picture by picture, even videos. Not sure if the company behind the DVD knows about this but if they do and allow this, it is a shady way of promoting your products. AVOID AT ALL COSTS I would say.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth It January 21, 2010

By The Old One

Amazon Verified Purchase

Mostly re-hashed old photos and interviews with people you've never heard of from Pattinson's early amateur theatre days. No new first-hand interviews or footage.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why buy stolen content when you can see it for free from the sources online October 8, 2009

By A. genet

This DVD steals information word for word and content from prominent sites that are dedicated to Robert Pattinson for free. Don't buy this hype. This is copyright infringement. Amazon should not let this DVD be purchased.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Low Act... October 8, 2009

By SydneyTwiMum

It's apparant that in this day and age of the internet it is easy to steal or copy others works and claim them as your own. It's seems as though this is exactly what has been done with this DVD. There are some fantastic Rob dedicated sites out there and they do it for the love of Rob, not for profit. Is Robert Pattinson even getting any money from this DVD? I should hope that others will boycott this DVD. Readers of this, keep supporting the fans who dedicate their life to bringing us fun things to do with Robert for the love of him, not for profit.
