    Intriguing though a stretch

    This is a good movie, very intriguing. Jenna Elfman is a very good actress. She is totally believable in this dramatic role.

    It's a he said/she said film (except that the real story is eventually revealed) but I'm not sure I believed the ending. Without giving anything away, I will only say I'm not sure I buy the ultimate decision or what happens to the Elfman character. I'm not saying it's incorrect - only that I don't buy it. I think there would have been some doubt. As far as other elements of the story, on legal grounds, it is incorrect. Nevertheless, this movie is watchable, entertaining, interesting and has strong performances.

    Elfman is good....

    even if you are not a major fan, she actually delivers in this suspense/psychodrama, which was based on a true story.

    She basically portrays a sales rep who encounters a neurosurgeon, (portrayed by Sam Robards) and has occasion to date him. Look for a very good cameo role with Lisa Edelstein ("House, M.D.") as Elfman's friend/alter ego.

    The situation escalates as Elfman becomes obsessed with Dr. Stillman (Robards). The setting is in Chicago, and several of the scenes are well done, especially considering this is a made for TV movie.

    If you are a fan of Elfman, she was also very good in the film paired with Kellie Martin, and Patti LuPone, regarding addiction.

    Interesting Scheduling

    As I write this, Lifetime is showing some of their older movies as part of their "30th Anniversary" celebration of their original movies. "Obsessed" was shown back-to-back with "Her Married Lover". Both movies were about women who claimed to have had affairs with married men, while the men denied the affairs. Both movies were told in a similar style, too. I don't want to say more, because I don't like reviews with spoilers.

    Anyway, I thought that was a clever bit of scheduling.

    As for this movie, it was serviceable; neither great nor terrible. Not one I would watch again, though; it wasn't done that well. It was OK, nothing more.

    I don't understand all the praise given to Jenna Elfman by so many other reviewers here. Sure, she was good. But not outstanding. In fact, I felt she was held back, not allowed to let her true personality show through. It almost did a couple of times, but then she was reverted back to being more like a dozen actors that could have played her role. She has been so, so much better in other things where she was allowed to show her sparkling personality shine. At first I though this might have been one of her earlier roles, and she hadn't learned to show herself as she is fully yet. But she had been in a lot of TV shows and movies before this. So I can only assume the director tamped her down a bit for this role. That's a shame; she is so very good when she lets her personality show.

    Another view of the talented Jenna Elfman.

    What a tantalizing look at the talent of Jenna Elfman. She moves with ease from trait to trait of a multiple-personality character. The young lady's performance certainly surprised and delighted me. Anyone accustomed to Jenna's comedic roles needs to get out of the box to truly appreciate this offering. She has serious acting skills!!!

    Kate Burton presents an intriguing view of an Attorney whose feelings for her client range from compassion to exasperation. While about it, she also provides the lighter moments of the movie. The bedroom scene and computer moment are hilarious.

    This is a nicely paced, character-oriented drama that makes for an entertaining evening of television.

    What are the Lyrics?

    What were the lyric in this Movie. Or is there a Sound Track for this movie. Please get back to me at address above.I was really impressed with this movie. She was a crazy lady. She could hear someone talking to her and it was all in her head. Scary!!! I hope I never happens to me. The guy shouldn't have mess with her in the first place. You never know how a person you meet will turn out. Her Obsesstion went to far. I felt for the wife in this whole movie. Most of I liked when she was in the shower and they were playing this song I am looking for . And then the police came and arrested her for stocking the guy.How that is where it all began.
