It took away from the movie and was a complete distraction. You could see her thinking every step, every word, there was nothing natural about it. The movie is a Fatal Attraction remake and nothing compares to the performances in that film, not sure why anyone would even try. For the time I was in the theater I was completely involved in the movie, partly because of the story line, partly because of the other two leading actors, and partly because Beyonce's acting was so laughable. While the movie will not land in the top 100 movies or top 500 movies of all time, it is entertaining.… Expand

Not original, but visually pleasing. It's filmed very well, but the story is lackluster. The ending is sort-of anti-climactic. Beyonce will need to step it up to get the Oscar gold she covets so much.

Cliches and silliness abound. Starts out ok, albeit with sophomoric, predictable dialogue. Ends with a goofy fight scence that was more comical than climactic. Most troubling part is that the reason for the obsession is never revealed.

More entertaining than most critics would have you believe. It's the kind of film that needs to be accepted on its own terms. I don't think anyone is aiming at high art here.

If you have a catfight scene where one of the women is dressed in only a t-shirt and panties, and I'm not interested: Epic Fail! The characters are so by the book that Beyonce has better character depth in her Nintendo DS commercials. If you have a catfight scene where one of the women is dressed in only a t-shirt and panties, and I'm not interested: Epic Fail! The characters are so by the book that Beyonce has better character depth in her Nintendo DS commercials. And the plot is so ludicrous that it hurts. After the umpteenth time that Idris reminds Beyonce to set the alarm, you know exactly what she's about to forget to do. If you are going to be predictable with the plot, at least, give me something...anything...interesting. I long for the old days when character and story was more interesting than beautiful people just redoing an old story.… Expand

Lisa(Ali Larter) covets what Sharon(Beyonce Knowles) has. Inside the black couple's home, we see a close-up of the white woman's hand touching their belongings with a sense of proprietorship. The delusional siren brings into bed a Lisa(Ali Larter) covets what Sharon(Beyonce Knowles) has. Inside the black couple's home, we see a close-up of the white woman's hand touching their belongings with a sense of proprietorship. The delusional siren brings into bed a champagne bottle and two flutes. To complete her fantasy of romance with Sharon's husband, she sprinkles rose petals on their marital bed. In John Singleton's "Rosewood", the impoverished Caucasians wonder aloud as to why the homeowning "Negroes" have pianos, and they don't. While the catfight in "Obsessed" is terrific fun, the presence of rose petals(a partial signifier from the 1997 movie that told the story about a community of well-to-do ex-slaves) calls attention to the historicism that exists whenever people from both ethnic groups engage in violence. Like the impoverished Caucasians in "Rosewood", Lisa has no qualms about taking what she feels is rightfully hers. "Obsessed" reverses the inroads that Sanaa Hanri's "Something New" made in normalizing the filmic image of upper-middle class blacks. Instead of burning crosses, the only thing that burns in "Obsessed" is the "For Sale" sign which Sharon and her husband Derek(Idris Elbra), a successful corporate businessman, use as kindling for their fireplace, at the film's outset. Since African-Americans are often confined to the margins of society on film, "Obsessed" unintentionally(to be fair) carries a latent racism in the fact that their historical nemesis(represented here by Lisa) attempts to take everything away from them, out of jealousy. While her ancestors waged war with the ex-slaves, Lisa wages war with Sharon, so she too can make beautiful music, and not from just a mere piano, but with the piano player himself.… Expand
