ALTERNATE TITLE: "GIRLS.... JUST WANNA HAVE FUNDS!"

Now, if you're asking yourself... "What the H*LL kind of alternate Title is that!?!?" Then, how about this one: "My Guess is as Good as Yours!" Because if you're OBSESSED with well written, logical and solid story lines, the second title option fits the bill like an 80's style Madonna glove! (You know, the ones with holes for your fingers! OBSESSED has more plot holes than an Iraqi minefield!)My motivation for Watching this? A Friend's Review...Go ahead and look for a second (or 3rd) opinion that differs notably from mine!....And it's not like I didn't TRY to really enjoy this film! Convinced that if I put my Suspension of Disbelief into overdrive, I might reach the credits with a 7 or 8 Star rating. But my intentions were overwhelmed by a totally deficient storyline, and at times, anemic dialog, coupled with a good number of story thread loose ends!!!Don't get me wrong, OBSESSED obviously had SOME positive qualities going for it, or it never would have received 5.5* from MY Id!!!.Ali Larter turns in a fine performance as the delusional mistress wannabe. If the scripting had provided her with a more developed, fleshed-in character, I dare say her performance might have been Oscar nomination caliber!People don't seem to be giving Idris Elba the credit he deserves. His performance as the responsible executive/unwaveringly loyal husband was utterly credible, absolutely spot on. Considering he's from London, his rendering of an American accent was flawless, and I can offer that up as an Expert, Professional opinion.Beyonce, it should be noted, is making a supreme effort to improve as an actor. Maybe she's trying too hard, because in spite of her energy and focus, her performance barely registers an "OK". Well, at least she seems to be headed in the right direction!OBSESSED seemingly has borrowed elements from a slew of different movies. Several films are mentioned repeatedly in other reviews. Here are other examples: The War of the Roses; specifics here would amount to a Spoiler, so sorry! And the foreboding music, which itself amounted to a Spoiler in some early scenes, seemed to be lifted directly from "Basic Instinct"!5.5 *Stars*.... ENJOY! /DISFRUTELA! (As Much As Possible!)Any comments, questions or observations, in English o en Español, are most welcome!

An okay movie.

I expected the movie to be bad, but I didn't find it that bad. I admit that some parts were corny. Mostly the parts that involved Beyonce, but the movie was entertaining nonetheless. I would say the ending fight is what ruined the movie it just took it to that corny level. During the fight scene many people in the theater were laughing at the humorous remarks Beyonce's character said. I feel the movie keeps you entertained to a point and had pretty good actors aside from some parts with Beyonce. Even though its not the best movie I would consider seeing it once more. Only because it was an enjoyable watching experience. I would recommend this movie for someone who is bored and would like to waste about an hour and a half.
