If I Can't Have You

Michelle is a radio DJ who gives advice to lonely hearts who call in and ask her to play a tune to make them feel better about themselves. Her producer and friend, Lily, works in the sound booth with her and then there's Keith who's the sound engineer. She gets a caller who keeps calling her and requesting the same song. She starts to freak out and tells her bf Aiden about it but he's mad at her because they don't spend enough time together and he's upset they can't work on their relationship. The caller won't give up either so she's torn with combined stress from work and at home. Someone leaves her a rose and she thinks it's from Aiden but he says he didn't send it. Then who did? I didn't care because it was a predictable plot that falls pretty flat. Skip it.

If i cant have you is a lifetime movie that has a lot of problems. Firstly it feels like this whole movie takes place within a day, it dosnt but its hard to tell since one minute michelle is at work and then at home and at work again. She meets with her collegues in a place called joes resturant, but its clearly a coffee shop inside and has a drivethrough and to me none of this makes sense. Michelle is a radio host and one night shes stalked by someone on air that continue to do the same thing. Keith and lilly her co workers are ok in acting not great but not to bad either. And her creepy boyfriend aiden who just gives off bad vibes. Eric roberts is in this movie to and his nice to see atleast. Overall this movie is nothing new but a radio station plot is something not always seen so there is that.

The beginning scene had nothing to do with the movie or they forgot to tie together. Typical same actors in these movies but exchanging roles. The main character is a cold hearted typical woman who has a man who loves her and she treats like crap. That is the new style of movies/tv shows now. The woman is masculine and "don't need no man" attitude. Awful acting from the main character and her side kick. All the male characters are painted as weak and the women as maculine. The story was awful. I gave it 3 stars for the house. Beautiful home with a nice layout. Eric Roberts this one is a good guy. Don't bother.

When I watched this movie I thought it would be good I guess wrong. The girl that played Michelle reminds me as an robot that has no emotions through this entire movie. I mean this was terrible acting and very disappointed and had no story it was like it was cut in half about the girl no else where it wasn't going anywhere of the story just an stalker. Honestly this could of been a better story the rest of the cast did good with the acting but the girl could of done better and no offense. If I wanted to watch an movie that has no emotions I could of watched The Faculty. I'm sorry for giving an bad review on this I normally don't but watching this just bugged me I'm sorry for making anyone upset don't mean to be.

Although not one Adam Rockoff's best screenplays, at least Eric Roberts, Jackee Harry, Tracy Nelson, and a diverse group of actors make this movie less predictable, fun, at times laughable along with a tinge of mystery, suspense, and thrill. Eric TR Roberts is a fav for so many fans, the fact that the plot is at times a little Nancy Drew-ish means nothing to the fans that watch this entertainment 22 hours a day, 7 days a week. Coming off the pandemic and strike, things will get better as long as Eric Roberts is cast as a villain in future projects. Besides writing reviews, fans can probably provide some interesting ideas for future Teleplays.
