Twilight star Peter Facinelli is urging single men looking for love to check out the vampire movie - because it could land them a date for Christmas.

Young girls are flocking to see the romantic movie, which debuted at the top of the U.S. box office last weekend - and the actor, who plays the patriarch of a vampire 'family' in the film, believes Twilight screenings are a great place for love to blossom.

He tells Wenn, "I'm glad that girls like the movie but I hope that boys go out and see the movie. I think it has a bit of everything for everybody.

"It's got the action and the vampires for the boys and the love story for the girls. Also if you're a single guy out there the best place to be is in the movie theatre. You can find a date at Twilight."
