Robert Pattinson is sweet in "The Bad Mother's Handbook"

Before Robert Pattinson won the adoration the world's teenagers for playing Edward Cullen in "The Twilight Saga" franchise, he had already made his mark in film. His 2007 comedy-drama "The Bad Mother's Handbook" is finally due to be released on August 24.

Pattinson stars as Daniel Gale, a teen who is in love with Charlotte Cooper (Holly Grainger). However, things take an interesting turn for Daniel when he discovers Charlotte may be pregnant.

Meanwhile, as the nine months pass, the young man gets to know Charlotte's family, which includes her mother, Karen (Catherine Tate), who gave birth to her daughter when she was a teenager as well.

Although Pattinson is best known for starring in "Twilight," there are plenty of other films that fans of his work may enjoy. In fact, the tearjerker "Remember Me," which also stars Emilie de Ravin, was just released on DVD.

The talented performer also starred in the independent drama "Little Ashes," in which he played the renowned Spanish artist Salvador Dali.
