Featured reviews
Although I was happy to see Janet Hubert - the actress who was the original Aunt Viv on The Fresh Prince of Belair...that was about it. I was looking forward to a fresh take on the stalker friend plot, but there was nothing new to see. I stayed to the finish, and found myself laughing out loud. So if you want to see unintentional comedy...go for it!
7 is maybe a bit too generous, am rounding up from 6.5. But I really enjoyed this, it was exactly what I expected in a good way. I love the movie 'single white female' so am already a fan of this kind of storyline.
All of the actors were excellent in their roles. It was freaky in parts and humorous in others. A fine TV movie for an evening to have a glass of wine while watching. I liked the storyline, it kept me gripped and I liked how outlandish psycho the baddie was, which was humorous and is not out of place in a storyline like this one. Sadly there are a lot of psychos out there and there are also a lot of families affected by these issues. Decent made for TV movie did not disappoint!

Didn't like the acting or the story. Poor graphics and no crying from actors. Not worth watching. Obsession time of movie, same old same old with lifetime, Waste of time.
This film begins with a young television host by the name of "Monica" (Raven Goodwin) giving a tearful eulogy at a funeral for her father. A couple of days after that, she mysteriously receives a recording of her boyfriend "Andre" (Kevin Savage) cheating on him with another woman. To top it all off, her new assistant "Simone" (Amber Riley) informs her that her co-host on the show "Elodie" (Erin Ownbey) is maneuvering behind her back to land a more prominent role in a more popular show which she knew Monica had set her sights on. Yet, even with all of this recent turmoil in her life, Monica still manages to stay positive thanks in large part to her best-friend "BeBe" (K. Michelle) and her new assistant. Interestingly enough, however, is the fact that BeBe doesn't share the same overall assessment of Simone that Monica does--and these doubts only intensify with every day that passes. Now, I admit that the overall plot for this film is hardly unique and that the general outline has most certainly been done previously on a number of occasions. However, what made this this film seem somewhat refreshing to me was the overall setting and the specific choice of actors to fill such prominent roles. That being said, even though all of them were completely unknown to me, I thought that they all performed reasonably well--with K. Michelle possibly standing out the most. Be that as it may, while this movie clearly won't win any Academy Awards, I still found it somewhat entertaining and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
Yeah it's predictable, but what lifetime movie isn't. This was an entertaining movie and the cast was great. I love that they used curvy black women in the main roles. They were all talented actresses and their personalities reminded me of some of my female friends. I think that's why I loved this movie so much - it was relatable. The actresses talked like real people instead of saying weird scripted lines like some lifetime movies do.
