The movie is only briefly offensive and rarely surprising.

It’s impossible for a thinking person to watch this film without thinking about responsibility.

An exploitative thriller that also harbors dangerous notions about and readily trivializes child neglect, sexual abuse and rape.

The story not only relies on the complete and unalterable stupidity of every character in the movie, but on the gullibility of those who watch it.

Yeah, Alicia Silverstone's a fetching little Lolita. But there's no excuse for this depressing 'Play Misty for Me' in spandex.

hy doesn't this guy just move out once he realizes the depth of this girl's obsession with him, instead of waiting until time runs out? Are all fact-checkers for trendy Seattle magazines this dense?

A highly implausible but somewhat above-average and entertaining 'yuppie in peril' thriller.
