May 12, 2011I remember watching this back in the 90's in the movie theatres. Everyone thought she was crazy-the lady Brandi. I thought Lynn Whitfield was very convincing as the psycho chick and she was gorgeous. Give the movie a 6/10.

Too serious to be a comedy, too flippant to be a thriller, it often feels like a backhanded act of penance for the misogynist humor in the star's comedy act. Full Review

Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
[Lawrence is] a charming, gifted comic with a killer smile, but he's way out of his depth in this Fatal Attraction knockoff, which he also co-wrote and stars in. Full Review

Geoff Andrew, Time Out
The script lacks wit and depth, while Lawrence's direction is meandering and undramatic, full of showy, over-elaborate camera movements. Full Review

A ponderous vanity project that is unfunny and, worst of all, just plain boring. Full Review
