It was my night to pick the movie, and 'Secret Obsession' popped up at the top of my Netflix account, so I thought rather than spending an hour sifting through the choices, I'd take Netflix's recommendation.
Throughout the movie my husband made several comments about how unrealistic the plot was, and I agreed, but for some reason we sat through it, thinking it would get better...
As the movie ended, my husband left the room to make a phone call. I didn't think much of it, but he was gone for quite some time. When he returned 30 minutes later, he was brandishing divorce papers he had printed out himself on our new hp printer. I didn't even know a person could procure divorce papers so quickly! I begged and pleaded with him to forgive me, but he said he couldn't be with anyone who would hurt him like that. A part of me knows that it's the truth. He deserves better. We all do.

This film is based on a completely improbable scenario: Russell (Mike Vogel) is apparently a smooth tempered and fulfilled man but he is actually 'relatively' unbalanced. Thus, he will implement a far-fetched stratagem in order to capture Jennifer (Brenda Song), the woman he loves unilaterally, while she is not even aware of his attraction to her. Despite the presence of Dennis Haysbert with his mesmerizing voice, the film is strongly disappointing. I do not really known how but I unexpectedly managed to see the movie until the end. Please do not make the same mistake and do not even start it!
As a synthesis: 2/3 of 10

Ok so the plot and premise isn't really anything new - however the film really does it's hardest to make you interested in the film. The first act of the film is a little confusing. I almost stopped watching after first 10 minutes or so - however i am glad I stuck with it. Brenda Song does really well and is the stand out for me - great job at breaking her 'Suite Life' label. Good Acting. It could've developed the detectives character a bit better. It won't thrill you to bits, but i found it a pleasant surprise.

I had a restlessness night and this movie managed to help me take a nap. Went straight to sleep with absolutely no concern for Jennifer.

Not sure why this is getting such bad reviews. Yes there might be some silly moments where you shout at the TV but all these kind of movies are like that. My wife and I sat and enjoyed this movie and so might you, give it a try

Couldn't stop thinking that this was an Allstate commercial. Overall movie was predictable and hilarious! Russell's photoshopping skills gave him away.

I was in trouble in the opening scenes when she couldn't get her car started, but the windshield wipers were working.
This script was written in one hour at 3 in the morning and then the document got deleted so they tried to recreate the script that they couldn't remember because it was written at 3 in the morning.

Do not waste your time. Netflix seems to be giving everyone money to make movies without caring about the finished product.
Bad plot + bad screenplay + bad acting = bad movie.

This isn't the best movie ever, but defineptly not terrible. If you're someone who is into lifetime suspense movies then you'll enjoy this.
A bit predictable but still enjoyable.

Despite the trailer, this is a very clever movie about the afterlife, where President Palmer is stuck in hell after being killed and has to spend eternity as a lame detective. He meets London Tipton, who isn't rich anymore, and they... oh. My husband said that's not the plot. I guess it was just a really bad movie. Pity.

I don't get it. The guy provided a beautiful home for his "wife". Walkout kitchen, hardwood floors, treed lot. What's not to like? Oh and did she even consider all the work he put into her rehab? Cooking meals? What about his photoshop skills? You think a well rounded man like that comes along every day? Nah, no appreciation for him whatsoever.
A guy can't catch a break these days.

It's so bad that I felt disrespected by Netflix. Now they're making any generic movie to convince users that's worth it paying a monthly subscription. I should've been paid to spend my time watching this
