The Bad Mother’s Handbook Being Released on August 24th

Being pasty, mopey and filled with inde­scrib­able long­ing isn’t just for sparkly vam­pires any­more.

Twi­light’s Robert Pat­tin­son shows off his act­ing chops in The Bad Mother’s Hand­book, a 2007 BBC fam­ily drama in which the future Edward Cullen plays a super uncom­fort­able, scarf-wearing nerd—and is totally adorable at it, sigh—who begins a sweet romance with a preg­nant classmate.

Hit­ting DVD on Aug. 24, on the heels of Eclipse, the film also stars Dr. Who’s Cather­ine Tate, which adds immea­sur­ably to its potent com­bi­na­tion of nerd-chic and roman­tic angst.

You can check out some of Rob’s parts in the video below and you can pre-order The Bad Mother’s Hand­book on Ama­zon here.
