Beyonce is a Very Bad actress

[germainriviere · 5/10 · 5 December 2020]

Good movie but Beyonce is The worst actress I've never seen

An okay movie.

[underwearpjs · 6/10 · 2 May 2009]

I expected the movie to be bad, but I didn't find it that bad. I admit that some parts were corny. Mostly the parts that involved Beyonce, but the movie was entertaining nonetheless. I would say the ending fight is what ruined the movie it just took it to that corny level. During the fight scene many people in the theater were laughing at the humorous remarks Beyonce's character said. I feel the movie keeps you entertained to a point and had pretty good actors aside from some parts with Beyonce. Even though its not the best movie I would consider seeing it once more. Only because it was an enjoyable watching experience. I would recommend this movie for someone who is bored and would like to waste about an hour and a half.

Unintentionable comedy

[Smells_Like_Cheese · 2/10 · 17 May 2009]

So when I first saw the trailer for Obsessed, I have to admit I was curious to see this, even though the "fatal attraction" story has been used five million times before, it's always interesting to see what the new fresh writer is going to do with it. Obsessed could have been so much more and offered a lot to the table but instead turned out to be a Lifetime movie of the week. There are so many problems with this movie, it's not even funny... oh, wait actually it was, which I'll explain in a minute. But trust me when I say that this movie had me laughing so hard. Now, I don't want to sound strange or wrong, I'm a white woman and even I found this movie not only to be sexist, but racist as well. We have a black family who actually are very successful, well bred, beautiful, smart and nice people, but somehow Beyonce turns ghetto in the end. This movie needs so much work, it's honestly ridicules, let me tell you about the story before I tell you all that's wrong with it.

Derek Charles is the Executive Vice President of Gage Bendix and has resulted in a recent promotion. He is happily married to his wife, Sharon, with a son, Kyle. However, when a new temp, Lisa begins to flirt with him. Lisa eventually attempts to seduce him, but he repeatedly rejects her advances. Lisa becomes obsessed and begins to manipulate Derek and Sharon's relationship, eventually becoming violent. Lisa fakes a suicide in Derek's hotel room while he is on a business trip. Meanwhile, Detective Reese interrogates Lisa, who lies about her relationship with Derek. While Derek and Sharon are out, Lisa goes to their home and convinces the babysitter to let her in, eventually escaping with Kyle while the babysitter is distracted. Derek goes to the car, intending to pursue Lisa, and finds Kyle in the backseat with lipstick from Lisa on his forehead. They set up a home alarm system, but at this point nothing is going to stop Lisa from getting what she wants.

This is one of the worst movies of the year; why? I never really found Ali Larter to be that threatening, everything happened so fast with her obsession, I didn't get her motive or history on why she might possibly be obsessed with this man. Idris Elba who plays the husband, Derek, is completely whipped. Now granted I know they were trying to make him into a nice husband, but did they go far or what? This man sent flowers to his wife every week, isn't allowed to go to a basketball game with a friend, is not allowed to have female assistants, pretty much hide in the corner at the company Christmas party so his wife won't jump on him at home. Beyonce Knowles, who plays his wife, Sharon, I had no sympathy for her character what-so-ever. This woman has major jealousy issues and we never know why, she mentions that he once was a player up till he met her, but it's never indicated that he ever cheated on her, so why in the heck is she so incredibly jealous? Also when she finds out that Lisa attempted suicide in Derek's bed, she won't even hear his side of the story, not only that, the house he paid for, she throws him out for THREE MONTHS! God, I want know what happens to him if he doesn't do the dishes, does he have to sleep in the back yard? I have to talk about the ending, I'm sorry, so if I haven't already spoiled the movie enough don't read on.

The ending: we go from the story being about Derek and this crazy woman who has insane fantasies about them having an affair... stepping in the right direction. But then all of a sudden, Lisa breaks into their home and lays herself in their bed and Sharon, the wife, catches her, instead of being rational and calling the police, it goes into "it's all about Beyonce" mode and she's shouting out one liners just to please the audience. The girls take the ultimate beating and somehow are still able to land on their feet, for God's sake they have 105 lb. Ali Larter swinging a two by four at Beyonce! Then after Sharon kills Lisa, she walks out of the house all bloody and the detective and husband come, as he holds her we pause on Beyonce's face while her song is playing... hmm, subtle on the promotion there, she's a secondary character for goodness's sake! Also one other thing I have to spoil is that Lisa puts a roofie in Derek's drink and seduces him in some way... what was the purpose of this scene? It never comes up again or had any purpose, if it's supposed to be threatening, not so much. The detective was also a stupid addition to the story, she is the most incompetent detective ever. Just everything about this movie didn't work, pointless characters, no backrounds, no thrills, chills or suspense, save your money.

2/10

money does'nt give u talent beyonce.

[samzbak · 1/10 · 18 November 2021]

What a stupid movie.

Prettty sure beyonce ( whos also a producer) made this for her self satisfaction of remembering her younger days. Bedding another guy , acting all sassy. Also it contains her own songs as bgm lol.

Do what youre good at , or atleast if you want to act , dont release your movies to the public and punish them lol it was a torture.

Boringly Predictable--wait for regular cable programming

[TMDavis · 3/10 · 26 April 2009]

A friend had free movie passes to see this movie--and on my birthday, of all days.

That is two hours of my life that I will never get back.

The movie is a remix of Fatal Attraction, but the plot is nowhere near as edgy and suspenseful. As for the acting...I never expected much of Beyonce in the first place (because she can't act, nor can she speak very well), but I was so disappointed in Idris Elba's performance. A friend remarked that he was probably underacting in order not to overshadow Beyonce, and she was probably right. Still, his character was a caricature of a pseudo-thug from New York who moved up the corporate ranks and added a veneer of sophistication over that thug image. Stringer Bell, we hardly knew ye.

Even Ali Larter didn't come off as psychotic as she could have...perhaps because underneath her lines was the feeling that she was thinking, "What in the world is THIS crap?" Beyonce was a relative nonentity (albeit a well-dressed one), but I'm sure that she and her father bankrolled this movie in further misguided efforts to try and prove that she is a Serious Actress (not to mention a vehicle for further promotion of the House of Dead Wrong--excuse me, the House of Dereon). Too bad it didn't work. However, Beyonce fans and stans will faithfully flock to theaters and will loudly proclaim that she is the best actress since Madea, and should win an Oscar for her performance since she was "robbed" in Dreamgirls. I will give her this: she didn't completely suck as an actress in this movie, but she didn't really stretch herself as an actress either--but then again, she never has. At least she didn't play a singer of some sort in this one, so there is some progress being made.

My disbelief was hardly suspended in this movie. There were so many ways that the movie could have been beefed up to carry viewers on an emotional roller coaster ride, but the writers and directors chose to take the safe route. I'd strongly suggest that people wait for the movie to show up on regular cable programming, and not pay-per-view or view-on-demand.

Not as bad if you go in with the right expectations...

[Destinys_Child · 7/10 · 25 April 2009]

I went to go see this film in the theaters and let me tell you this movie was a blast! People were laughing and cheering through out. Was it because it was an Oscar caliber film with amazing character development? NO. It was because it was a brainless, campy, thriller.

There were many laugh-inducing moments. Were they supposed to be intentionally funny? I'm not quite sure, but they were quite enjoyable nonetheless.

Don't go into this movie with the mind frame of it being a deep, psychological thriller with a chilling plot line because you will be extremely disappointed. It's stupid fun, and what's wrong with some stupid fun once in a while?

Remember that movie Wild Wild West? Will Smith has said that that movie is one of his biggest regrets, because it opened at #1 even though it sucked, and he said he hated knowing that so many people were spending their money to watch a movie that wasn't good. At the time I'm writing this, Obsessed is the #1 movie in the American box office, and I'm wondering if, for example, Beyonce feels as guilty as Will Smith did, because Wild Wild West is about ten times better than this snoozefest. Personally I doubt she has the acting chops to even realize how god-awful this thing is.

I've seen some backwards thrillers in my time but THIS…I care hardly think of where to start. My first question is for Beyonce. I'm wondering if, when she signed on to play the wife of a man stalked by a psychotic blonde, if she knew that her character would ultimately turn out to be just as psychotic as the psychotic one. I'm guessing yes, because here's a direct quote from her character late in the movie – "You think you're crazy? I'll show you crazy!"

Wow.

If you want to watch Ali Larter squeezing her limited talents into the form of a badly written blonde with some relationship issues and Beyonce talking all tough to her (and to her husband), you might enjoy this movie. Every once in a while a movie comes along that is so flawlessly terrible that the perfection of the way the badness fits together becomes a fascinating area of study. This is one of those times.

Sharon is married to Derek who has a new employee at his work, a crazy hot blonde named Lisa who was recently hired on from a temp agency. She falls in love with Derek and forms a fantasy in her head that she and Derek are together, blah blah blah blah. The movie is called Obsessed and stars two women and one man. You don't really need to know anything else in order to know everything there is to know about the movie, except how bad it is. Sadly, you have to watch it to find that out.

One of my favorite things was that the movie is as suspenseless as any movie I've ever seen, and yet the suspense music kicks up constantly and I guess we're supposed to scoot forward to the edge of our seats and get all worried and whatnot. There's a scene when Lisa e-mails a picture of herself to Derek which opens itself in a dozen windows as soon as he opens the e-mail, and the orchestra kicks in frantically as Derek slowly clicks them each closed, his wife only seconds away.

Did anyone else laugh at this? First of all, why would you slowly click them closed one by one? Does he know nothing about computers? ALT-F4, man!! Or if it's a Mac, Command-W!! But of course, if he knew how to close windows like that then we would have missed out on the sheer tension of watching this guy about to suffer the wrath of Beyonce. They actually tried to generate TENSION by having a guy struggling to close windows on his computer before his wife sees it!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

Then again, with a wife as horrific as Beyonce's character, maybe it's a good idea to fear her hysterical wrath. She does, after all, kick him out of HIS OWN HOUSE for three months because she thinks. Not KNOWS, mind you. She SUSPECTS that he had an affair. And when I say his own house, I mean the beautiful, multi-million dollar mansion that they live in, with the sleek new Escalade parked out front.

This woman, ladies and gentlemen, is a COLLEGE STUDENT. I have trouble relating to a man who would suffer so much ridiculous punishment at the hands of an insecure and violently suspicious woman, and still beg on his hands an knees for her to take him back.

In order for a movie like this to work, you have to care about the characters, that's obvious, but it's impossible here. Obsessed has nothing going for it. It's a movie about one poor guy with two psychotic women around him and I'm going to go ahead and suggest that it's just not possible to make a good movie when your basic premise is so overflowing with the yawn-inducing clichés of cheap, no-rent thrillers.

It is informative that Obsessed comes from David Loughery, the same screenwriter who gave us the highly disappointing thriller Lakeview Terrace last year. Obsessed is pretty much exactly the same story, except Lakeview Terrace was about a black neighbor angry at his interracial neighbors. Now we have a black wife going crazy at her black husband's white stalker. Set your watch to beep every ten minutes or so to make sure you can stay awake. It was a struggle for me!

Even worse, I'm not sure who the target is. Angry black women who hate skinny, smart-ass blondes? Maybe. Word has it that the original title was "Oh No She Didn't," which would at least have been amusing and advertised right away that the whole movie is a joke. If they had made this a parody, I really think it could have been good, but it takes itself super- seriously, even when challenging us not to laugh at Beyonce flinging Ali Larter all over her house, or not to cringe when she viciously berates her boyfriend, for whom she has not the wispiest scrap of trust but who has committed no crime. The most effective thing that the movie does is convince me beyond a shadow of a doubt that if I ever find myself dating Beyonce I will throw myself in front of the nearest train.

Unoriginal yes - Is it serious, no.

[stylish-dorkella · 7/10 · 25 April 2009]

I honestly didn't have many high expectations for this movie. I've never really thought Beyonce was all that believable as an actress but I decided to see the movie because overall it looked like one of those Fatal Attraction/Swim Fan movies. I think the problem with people who go to see this movie is that they expect this to be Beyonce's break through movie. But until she chooses a role that has nothing do with music/singing, and a role that is original (and this includes a character with depth) she might never have a breakthrough movie. But still her acting improves..

The first 20 minutes of the movie, I cringed. Beyonce I thought was horrible at pretending to be a wife. You could tell she was uneasy with kissing, talking about sex under the mirror & etc (Weird since Idris is an incredibly handsome man). But as the movie continued she became more believable. She's not that great of an actress, but becoming believable was her first step something she failed at in her previous movies (excluding Dream Girls).

But overall the movie was good. The frustration that one gets from the constant interaction between Derek (Elba) who is sort of symbolizing a weak man, and psychopath Lisa (Larter) is what makes the movie even more enjoyable. People need to quit taking this movie so seriously. This is a movie where you can invite some friends over, bring out the popcorn and kickback. Who cares if its unoriginal and just a little predictable when it keeps you entertained the whole time.

A bad movie, but...

[how-cool · 2/10 · 17 February 2019]

Beyoncé makes it abysmal. It's genuinely painful to watch her robotic run-through of her lines and scenes.

With the obscene amounts of money she has, you'd think she would invest a tiny fraction in acting lessons.

For what it is, pretty entertaining

[hmsshopping · 8/10 · 8 May 2009]

I must say, I'm highly offended by the person calling this movie "A Racist Piece of Trash" because they said in their comment, and I quote, "I am sorry but there are very few African- American men in this world that wouldn't jump at the chance to sleep with a white woman." Umm... hello? YOU are racist for that comment alone.

I actually found the movie to be pretty entertaining and I was into it the whole time. I felt angry, upset, and tense, because I was wrapped in the drama. What struck me most what the portrayal by Ali Larter of a woman who truly BELIEVED that the man was in love with her. I expected it to be like other movies of this type, where the woman is intentionally sabotaging the man's life. I was frustrated by her character in a good way. It was believable and real.

I didn't expect this to be a riveting high-quality film. I expected it to be entertaining, gripping, and that's exactly what it was. Never was I bored. Anyone who expected greatness from this film shouldn't be allowed to review, we all knew it wasn't an Oscar film.

So, for what it is, I thought it was great. And the not-so-subtle Christian Louboutin sponsorship... Fantastic:)

A mindless, campy, fun thriller... and I loved every minute of it.

[A_Random_Guy_22 · 6/10 · 29 May 2009]

Obsessed, while borrowing heavily from the classic eighties' Michael Douglas thriller Fatal Attraction, still manages to be its own film. How is that possible, you ask? Well, I'm not quite sure myself. It could be that the audience is too busy laughing and cheering to care or even notice. Let me explain. Obsessed is NOT a serious movie. It is a mindless, campy, fun thriller that you should take with a pinch of salt.

Derek Charles (The Wire's Idris Elba) is a successful executive vice president at Gage Bendix and happily married to Sharon (singer-turned-actress Beyonce Knowles). They're "the perfect family" as Lisa Sheridan, Derek's new temporary assistant put it. But when Lisa (Heroes' Ali Larter) becomes "obsessed" with Derek, everything he's worked so hard for is placed in jeopardy.

What follows is a crazy thrill-ride up until one of the most-talked about catfights in film history. Seriously, my audience cheered, laughed, whooped, etc. It was like being at a boxing match. That alone was worth the price of admission.

Lastly, I thought I'd comment on the acting since it seems most people have been put off this movie because of the fact that Beyonce is in it. You probably won't believe me when I say that this is probably her best acting to date. You really felt and believed her character. Idris Elba was brilliant as always, but Ali Larter completely steals the show as the psycho bitch from hell! Why do Blondes do bad so good? Obsessed isn't a film, it's an experience. It's one of those films you just simply MUST see on the big screen with a full audience. You couldn't possibly get the same effect at home with your family. It's most definitely a must-see in theatres, especially for someone looking for a good time.

With a rockin' soundtrack, great script and cast, Obsessed is a blast of stupid fun and, without a doubt, the sexiest – and most entertaining – thriller of 2009! I still think they should've gone with the original title, though: Oh No She Didn't! Also, I might add that, contrary to popular belief, this movie is not in the slightest bit racist.

Oh, please

[thefan-2 · 1/10 · 26 September 2009]

A woman who is not your wife - a slightly unhinged temp at your company - follows you into the men's room at the Christmas party and tries to go down on you. You are happily married. Even though you are slightly drunk, you are in control of yourself enough to leave her there and go home to your wife and son, whom you love very much. Question: What do you do first thing the next business day? Unless you're a complete moron, you go straight to Human Resources, relate the incident as best you can, and let them deal with it, right? Well, in this simple-minded piece of junk, the characters are all - ALL, without exception - morons.

"Obsessed" is basically an adolescent guy's fantasy of how awesome it would be to be married to Beyonce Knowles and to be stalked by Ali Larter at the same time - and, to be noble enough to Do The Right Thing. It is "Fatal Attraction" for the new millennium, when Hollywood no longer knows how to write, produce, direct, act or anything else that makes a movie watchable. I mean, the stalker actually slips the stalkee a mickey at one point! Seriously!

This is an unwatchable movie, and everyone who had anything to do with it should be ashamed.

Another one of those "the trailer was better than the movie" movies

[karmastang · 3/10 · 30 April 2009]

Everything was cliché'. Everything was predictable. The pace never changes.

The acting was mediocre and the characters weren't really believable. To be honest you get kind of irritated by the actor's roles kind of how you get irritated in horror movies when the girl just has to go back into the house when she knows the killer is inside - the characters' roles were the least realistic - it's almost as if they are all idiots and have no idea how to handle simple problems even if it were basic math.

Guys, next time, try to focus on making the movie enjoyable, and not just your trailer...

A married man is stalked by a coworker.

[ltlacey · 1/10 · 4 August 2009]

You know, this could have been a fairly decent movie but for one main thing: None of the actors in this flick did any decent job of acting, and that included the usually fine actress, Lahti. And Knowles was so miscast it was painful to watch. It was like she was trying to do Vivica Fox, who could have pulled this off, but we ended up more with Betty Boop. And the final 10 minutes, with the "infamous catfight" was ridiculous. Knowles in her kick-ass hooker boots and push-up bra announcing her chest like some formal invitation, and Larter in black silk panties and her obsession's T-shirt (I do believe). And Larter pulled off menacing about as well as a gerbil. This movie had so much potential, as I liked the premise (innocent man is stalked by crazy woman but thinks he can handle it), even if the actors were sub-par, but whoever wrote the script must have been asleep at the wheel. No one was convincing and a lot of the story was not plausible. I've read that some people think the movie is racist, but I found the movie sexist. Meaning that guys are nothing more than drunken hound dogs and too stupid to admit that some wee thing is scaring the hooey out of them. Pass this one up.

A Black man's worse nightmare... PS. Executive produced by Magic Johnson

[vict777 · 1/10 · 10 August 2009]

It's like the writer and Magic Johnson sat down with Kobe Bryant, talked about the night that Kobe had in Colorado and then said, let's make it even worse.

Unrealistic and terrible story...

During the final scene this movie seriously had me thinking back to the opening credits where some 10 producers (executive and standard) were listed... made me think I bet they all had sat around drinking beers each trying to dream up what worse could possibly happen in a situation and then saying "oh good one, yea let's use that"...

It baffles me how the movie is so sloppily put together. My 6 year old cousin could have done a better job organizing this story line, writing a better script, and done a better job producing it too.

Entertaining.

[board-5 · 13 August 2009]

I've seen lot of movies on television with similar basic story,but those movies were made directly for television(most of them) That is why I wanted to know how I will feel about this one.

It was mildly entertaining,if the screenplay is not original,but this time the creators maybe directly did this,cause as I sad that would be almost impossible to write an original screenplay today about a love triangle.

Acting is not irritating,and this is very important,cause story using mostly the acting to create tension,and scenery.

The message is very clear in my opinion,and this time this was not focused to last lines.

How Many Movies Did They Watch Before They Made This?

[MierdaDeToro · 6/10 · 14 October 2009]

I had to buy this DVD, as I am a big Ali Larter fan. After seeing the trailer, I expected a predictable stalker film (i.e. Fatal Attraction, Poison Ivy). When I saw the back cover of the DVD saying, "Experience The Beyonce Mania", I thought, "mm-hmm, marketing ploy; I'll bet the whole soundtrack is her, too" (which, surprisingly, it wasn't). This is the same thing that happens when you put LL Cool J in a movie. Anyway, the general synopsis is: White Chick obsesses over black guy; black guy hides truth from apparently overbearing wife; wife finds out and kicks him out; wife finds out the real truth; wife goes after White Chick. Completely by-the-numbers. The font used in the opening titles looks exactly like the Lifetime Movie font (a hint of things to come?), and the movie has not-so-subtle hints of "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle", particularly when Larter is in the house handling the baby (for a second, I thought she was actually going to start breast-feeding him), and in the ending fight scene, as well; half of which takes place in an attic, just like "Cradle" (although there is a "Kill Bill" moment when Larter wields a floor lamp and uses it like a ninja sword). And let's not forget Larter falling through a glass table at the end (the same way Billy Campbell dies in "Enough"...without the whole chandelier thing, of course; the chandelier is more "War Of The Roses"). Throw in the requisite cheesy one-liners, courtesy of Beyonce, and you have an over-boiling cauldron of cliché stew. Overall, I actually enjoyed the movie in a no-brainer sort of way, even if it is predictable as hell, right down to the title. Anyone looking for originality should steer clear of this movie, but if you like campy, thrilling stalker-fun, this just might be for you.

Perfect example of why Hollywood should not be profitable!

[rkyracer · 1/10 · 24 April 2009]

Total waste of time and money. How do you get your money back? It is not only trite but was only made because of the race issue. It was clearly a movie that was not performed as a way to improve the public interest in attending movies or to provide relevant entertainment but was made in an attempt to create paying customers wanting to see a crazy white woman chasing an unappealing black man. Beyonce is not an actress but chosen for the role for her attractiveness and name power. I feel that a film of this caliber will find it's way to the cut rate DVD movie bin at the local discount store and not improve sales at that location.

The poor husband

[prefabsprout-38418 · 6/10 · 15 June 2022]

A man is pursued by a deranged woman, and yet Beyoncé, his wife, immediately disbelieves her husband, tells him to get out HER house. I'd have told her to move out.

Was this film just for Beyonce fans? I don't think even they'll like this!!

[GirishGowda · 3/10 · 3 April 2010]

Even though my friends said this was one worthless piece of movie, I wanted to see it for myself as I am a huge fan of Ali Larter who is a part of the TV show HEROES. I thought I would like this because of her. I am not a fan of Beyonce. I just don't like her music.

The plot is Derek (Idris Elba) is very successful asset manager who has received a promotion recently and is very happy with his career and family. But all those things are put into jeopardy when Lisa (Ali Larter), a very hot temp catches his eye in the office.

This is a very basic stalker film. Lisa tries everything to get Derek to fall for her, but he doesn't budge from his high moral grounds and he apparently loves his bitch of a wife. Seriously, his wife Sharon (Beyonce Knowles) is a vapid, because without any proof of him cheating on her, she throws him out of his own home. Lisa does something which makes everybody suspect Derek.

I hated this movie mainly for one thing, its very predictable and boring. Sharon transforming from a sweet housewife to a crazy person who will do anything to save her marriage is just cliché. Beyonce cannot act, period. Lisa didn't have a backstory as to why she is stalking Derek of all people and this wasn't a racist film according to me as many people here seem to think. I mildly liked the fight at the ending, but it dragged on and this is a Beyonce production, so you should know by now who will win that fight. I don't think even fans of Beyonce will like it as its so shallow and has no heart. Ali Larter could have done so well with a better script. She's a very fine actress when the script is right for her. I am very sad that I didn't take my friends advice. Only for Ali Larter.

3/10

A fun, thriller!

[kkambun-1 · 9/10 · 23 May 2009]

I Do not get what it is people do not like about this movie!!!!! First off, Due to other reviews, I went to this film with some very low expectations. This film was slow paced, so to say, as far as actual suspense, but it still was entertaining, and gave some time for character and plot development. I personally was not bored for one second. Within about 10-20 minutes I was hooked in. The main plot of the film, is about a very successful asset manager, Derek, and how his relationship with his wife, and future with his family, are threatened, when a seductive, tempt, comes blasting into his life. It starts off similar to many. She comes as a temp, he befriends her, she takes it as "Oh, He loves me!!". When rejected she relentlessly stalks him, and endangers both him, and his family. Ali Larter, returns!!!! She is amazing. She is sweet when she needs to be, Seductive when she needs to be, and psychotic and crazy as well, when she needs to be. Ali seemed act as a cross between Sharon stone from basic instinct and Rebecca De Mornay(the nanny from H*ll!), from the hand that rocks the cradle. Beyonce I though was great! She made me laugh. She played a very good p*ssed off mother and wife!! This film starts off slow, and gains to a point of high intensity. Once it has you on the edge of your seat, you wont leave their. Though at points a bit predictable, I found this to be a fun, edge of your seat, thriller. -Kris

sexual tensions in the office

[kairingler · 7/10 · 11 July 2013]

Ali Larter i never heard of her before , but wow very beautiful,, i was kinda disappointed with Beyoncé's performance , i think she should have know that her husband was messing around long before she found out., A man moves into a new house,, goes to his job and finds a cute girl in the elevator,, turns out she is the new temp worker. at first it just little innocent flirting and things,, then things start to heat up at an office party where she tries to practically take his pants off in the men's room, he turns her down because he wants to be true to his wife. later on things get even more weird and creepier, and she starts listening in on conversations,, ignorning the fact that he doesn't want her , and keeps everything going,, it's like she's saying to him,, hey i'm hot look at me,, i 'm better than you're wife come and take me,, she just won't take no for an answer. she's definitely a stalker,, i know the feeling a woman once stalked me like that almost in the exact same way,, kinda eerie and creepier, very good movie to watch.

Trailer got me in ,but movie didn't pull me in

[knhull · 2/10 · 25 April 2009]

The trailer made the movie seem GREAT!!However it was LONG & DRAWN OUT to say the least!If the plot was thicker , and there wasn't SO much down time between interesting scenes , it would have been OK.You really don't get to feel like you 'know' the characters very well and it was so long that there wasn't nearly enough in the movie to keep me interested for even half the time!I would watch it as a Lifetime movie , although sad to say I don't think it would cut it!Honestly, my friend & I had completely HAD IT by the time it neared the end and got up & left before it was even over , and we had been watching it for nearly 2hours!

Beyonce should never act again

[micheyglez · 1/10 · 15 February 2021]

This movie all around is a waste of time. Beyonce should never attempt to act ever again. Her music is mediocre as it is

The Funniest Thriller of the Year!

[moorecameron94 · 5/10 · 25 April 2009]

Ever since I saw the trailer I knew this movie was going to suck really bad. I walked into the theater jam packed. The beginning started pretty descent, then once he started to get to know the "Obsessed" temp, the movie started to get really weird. I think they over exaggerated this movie way to much. The acting was horrible and the ending fight scene was hilarious! Everyone in the theater laughed when the quote "Bitch Breath" was said. This movie could of been a huge success, but they hired really bad actors and actresses. The girl that played the temp is a good actress, she knows better than to sign up for this crap. Overall I gave this a 5/10 because some of it was pretty entertaining, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.
