Obsessed

This film has only one redeeming feature. It contains some extremely trite and hilariously cheesy montage footage of People Doing Things.

Apart from that, don't watch it. Do something, anything, else. Really, almost anything. Even cleaning your toenails. Twice.

You will save yourself a small part of your life.

Actually, for television, I found it to be a real "time passer". I mean, I could have cleaned my toilet or my toenails, but I was so amused at the fact that someone thought to pair Ms. Doherty with the renown Mr. Devane, that I found myself unusually drawn in. I know it wasn't a good movie, but it wasn't painful. If it's raining outside and you've got the flu and you can't find the remote and you're too weak to walk over to the television to turn the channel, I'd suggest this movie. As for me, I have to be honest. I've always thought William Devane was rather sexy so I probably would watch it again if it wasn't raining, I didn't have the flu and I could find the remote, but on a serious note, I didn't care for Doherty in the role, although she wasn't half bad. In short, it's bearable and slightly, yes, slightly entertaining.

This plot line is totally unbelievable- who would actually fall for this guy? I am sorry that I wasted ANY time on this made for tv movie. The only movie that I have seen that is worse stars Susan Lucci, and she can't act her way out of a paperbag, so that isn't saying much (French Silk). Anyway, DON"T see this.

Lori, played by Shannen Doherty is quite the nut-case. A stalking but beautiful trophy girlfriend. William Devane, who played Ed Bledsoe is the charming, way older, well to do horny bachelor. I'm sorry but the relationship between Bledsoe and Lori is just plain unlikely. Really, to see them together made my skin crawl. Devane is just way too old. I cannot see those two together in real life. Why would they put it on film? The acting really is mediocre. Not their best performances. The only decent actor is the daughter (Andy) whose name I cannot recall. The only thing that bugged me about her is that hair-do. What is that? Not a bad movie if you're home sick in bed but if there's something else on, maybe you should pass this one up.

Well if you are a Shannon fan I can highly recommend "Obsessed" co-starring William Devane with a new set of choppers. Plot goes something like A man in his 50s becomes locked in the grip of a dangerous lover young enough to be his daughter. She is f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c and she gets to wear really great pumps and natty suits with big shoulder pads. Its a fave of mine - so good in fact I have it saved to the set top box so I can watch it if I can't sleep. And the scene where she confronts him at the country club is so realistic your skin actually crawls with embarrassment and fear (fear because she is holding on to her Spalding mini learner racquet). Anyway - if it's another rainy day get it as well as well as the chance to see the enigmatic Shannon
