"I knew it would come to this," hisses Sharon when finding Lisa lurking around her beautiful Brentwood home--at which point I exclaimed, "Me too!"--and then the fun (and, for many, the entire purpose of the film) starts.
Seldom does a movie thriller misfire so severely as this one.
Obsessed left me completely uninterested
Another movie that demonstrates it's bad feng shui to place a glass coffee table beneath a chandelier beneath an attic that can't even support the weight of a blond wearing little more than the whipped-cream bikini she sported in 'Varsity Blues.'
They did this movie a few years ago. It was called "The Temp". So many holes in the plot, I stopped counting. An unintentional laugh riot!
Slow, one-note and climactically risible.
Not even the lovely Beyoncé Knowles can save this clichéd thriller.
A dim reworking of Fatal Attraction, directed with anonymous efficiency.
If Obsessed were a perfume, it would ming like happy hour at a squids' brothel. This atrocious, and atrociously derivative affair is not only an early contender for worst film of 2009.
It’s execrable; a fist-chewing embarrassment that has no right to a theatrical release.
Idris Elba, so good in The Wire, looks a long way from Baltimore in this overcooked Fatal Attraction-style yarn about a cocksure executive laid low by the office temp.
Everyone involved should feel cheap and used.
Vanity bunkum of the first order wait until TV for this one.
Lurching woozily between daytimesoap psychodrama and a brainless, claws-out, pseudo-feminist slasher flick, Obsessed is one boiled rabbit away from bad-film nirvana.
It could be the least erotic thriller ever made, unless die-you-bitch catfights through broken attic floorboards constitute some sort of kinky subgenre.
This is a guilty pleasure from start to finish and there is absolutely nothing new here but Obsessed is brilliant fun.
Horrid, hackneyed and half-witted.
Beyonce's latest movie contains more laughs than the entire output of Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy. Just one problem - Obsessed is meant to be a thriller.
Obsessed is both a front runner for the worst movie of the year and a must-see stinker.
The best ladies’ final to be seen this side of the French Open.
