    Obsessed has little plausibility, but at moments it's an entertaining bad movie, and the performers are vivid.

    Isn't half as dramatic as what probably went down after she (Beyoncé Knowles) kicked LaTavia and LaToya out of Destiny's Child.

    Larter just doesn't have the same bite as the bunny-killing stalkers of years gone by.

    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.… Expand

    THIS movie had sooooooooo much potential, but i hate to say it but Beyonce really ruined this movie for me. Singers becoming actors just doesn't work, i mean look at Mariah Carey and Chris Brown. They really shoulda casted Taraji .P. Henson for Beyonce's role. She woulda gave that character some life. Idris and Ali Larter were good and their roles but they shoulda expanded more on why she was OBSSESSED with him to begin with.… Expand
