DVD Review: 'Robsessed', More Testimonial Than Obsession

The overnight success Robert Pattinson experienced with "Twilight" has made him one of the most sought-after young actors today. But, many will undoubtedly argue that it is too soon for the 23-year-old to get his own feature length documentary. Regardless, Revolver Entertainment has taken the chance and put his relatively short span of life under the microscope in a new DVD titled "Robsessed".

This feature documentary, for those who are not very familiar with RPattz, does provide "the ultimate, all-access guide" to this international heartthrob. It invites them to trace back this British actor's childhood, detailing on his struggles in school, his loves for music, how he got into modeling, the indie films he took before "Twilight" and why he is such an outcast in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".

Don't be fooled by the title, though. While it seems that the one-hour documentary may revolve around the phenomenon that is Robert Pattinson, it doesn't really give an in-depth perspective on the frenzy surrounding this Hollywood newest "It" guy. Rather, it offers a look at the little things that paved his way into being who he is right now from industry's point of view.

In addition to bringing viewers inside the Barnes Theatre Company where he sharpened his acting skills, the documentary reels in footage from some of the indie movies he had been involved in the past. A collection of his old and new photos are scattered all over it as well. Still, the DVD contains more commentaries from those who have met or worked with him in the past in addition to praising words from a number of his superfans, than footage of the actor himself.

Some of them dispense info about the younger years of RPattz, much as others discuss on what makes him different from the other male actor nowadays and how his hair plays a part on his status today. Whilst the choices he makes on expanding his wing as an actor are applauded by some, others suggest that his popularity comes only from the love of Edward. These in-the-know people also do not forget to weigh in on the headlines this Glamour magazine's 2009 Sexiest Man made in recent days.

All and all, "Robsessed" will help you to know the co-star and rumored lover of Kristen Stewart a little bit better. If you are among those who can't have enough of Robert Pattinson, this documentary which will be made available in U.S. stores on November 10 should get a room in your DVD collection.
