Nothing new here folks

[lamarof9 · 5/10 · 19 July 2019]

I thought the acting in this was exceptional. Story was predictable. If you seen one you seen them all. All that being said, I give it a five.

Meh?

[jayikhar · 4/10 · 30 July 2019]

Firstly, I must say that Draya does crazy so well. Her ability to play the crazy ex is one thing that makes this movie bearable - her acting is actually OK. Pleasant surprise. Aside from that, the storyline is OK, but I felt it was rushed at times and as a result, there is a lot of cutting away from/to new scenes. It is very choppy! I thought the ending was quite good, it leaves room for a sequel. It's not a rubbish movie - it's bearable but rushed. Something to pass the time and enjoy if you kind of like 'relationship gone wrong movies' and are a fan of Elise Neal or Draya, but you won't write home about it. It's just OK.

Draya is the only draw

[lucifer_over_tinseltown · 6/10 · 20 July 2019]

Draya's presence sets off the frame and damn nears melts the celluloid every time the camera finds her. I had no idea she had such serious acting chops. She makes pure evil look so good. She plays the temptress/villainess to maximum satisfaction. Instead of offering an apple, she rather offers an apple bottom...which the director of this mess is obviously obsessed with (who wouldn't be?) as he zoom a zoom zooms in on it constantly. Without Draya I would have given up after a few minutes. The lead actor, who looks like a doppelganger of that chubby Hootie & the Blowfish dude, but with a magician's goatee, should never be allowed on a film set again. His acting is crazy whack throughout. The dialogue is downright childish. The cheap sets are somewhere between soap opera and porno level. The plot has more knots than a pretzel factory. Draya is poetry in motion throughout. I hope her performance here opens up opportunities to appear in films with bigger budgets and better writing. I feel bad that she had to deign to make out with Hootie. Yuck. One of my favorite scenes is where she sucker punches Hootie's ex-wife, who just surfaced from a coma, out of her wheelchair. Draya's one tough cookie. The only other actor that merits a mention is the hot grandmother. I gave 1 more star for her performance. Draya's a 10 all day, but because of the clueless Hootie dude I had to subtract points. Watch it for Draya and maybe that grandmother. Forget about that Hootie looking dude though.

Horrible movie

[allendenarius · 1/10 · 23 July 2019]

This movie was extremely horrible. Not only was it predictable as all movies of this nature but the acting and the storyline was trash. Everything from the plot to the acting seemed extremely forced and some of the things did not make sense. You have the main character Mr. Lewis at one point pouring his heart out about the death of his son and after this long monologue that never showed any reaction shots from Dreya, the only thing she has to say at the end is... "So this is what you want? To never want to drink again?" End scene. Like what? Really? That's all you're gonna say and then the scene ends?!? Wow that's crazy. Then later on she forces him to drink again and he just wakes up the next morning as if nothing happened and as if he has no concern at all about breaking his sobriety. As a filmmaker myself this film was not up to par.

Straight garbage

[niasolomon · 17 July 2019]

Acting was terrible, script was terrible, scenes, make up just everything looked bad. I made an imbd account just to let people know how horrible this movie was. Pure garbage.

Shockingly bad

[rahulramanuj · 1/10 · 20 July 2019]

Now this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The acting and direction were laughable. The emotions seemed fake and off. Even the scenes of violence and passion seemed unrealistic. To even call this garbage a movie is a slap in the face to the B grade movie industry. Eventually I even had to press fast forward.

This was a god awful excuse of a movie

[hello-85463 · 1/10 · 14 August 2019]

Not going to lie - we did laugh a lot in this movie. But it's not a comedy. The script and acting was pretty horrendous and the scenes were so weird - random and unmatching music was almost jarring.

To call this garbage is an insult to garbage. Would recommend for a laugh

Decent Thriller

[kyleallencole9 · 6/10 · 23 July 2019]

This one has the exact plot as many others. An ex alcoholic professor begins an affair with a seductive new student and then breaks things off so he can patch up things with his ex wife and his daughter. The cunning and murderous college girl then decides to wreak his life. This one kind of had a few scenes that mimicked the movie Swimfan. The ending was sort of just thrown together, but overall it was a pretty good BET tv thriller.

Not bad, not good

[dramafreebri · 3/10 · 20 July 2019]

So this movie was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be but it definitely was not good at all. The acting and writing were both mediocre and plot was predictable.

One question that has been irking me is why is the wife's mom and the wife like the same age? They looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.

It aight

[abimbolamariam · 6/10 · 17 July 2019]

Its good but not the best. It wasnt thrilling at all though. It does have good acting

Nope, nope and nope

[aarubaziz · 1/10 · 3 August 2019]

The best thing about this movie is Malik's presence. Had it not been for him, I would've stopped watching when it started. Never been a fan of Stokes anyway. He really practices colorism in his movies.

Happy for Draya!

[daughterof_ann · 9/10 · 11 December 2018]

I was excited to watch Draya in this role, and she did a great job! Love the soundtrack! It was better than I thought it would be. Yes it's predictable but Draya was fun to watch play crazy!

Slightly above average Lifetime-ish movie

[brandonlewissmu · 6/10 · 11 August 2019]

*I watched it because the director made a couple horror movies back in the day that I really liked. I wish he'd go back to that. He has major talent with horror. **This movie..same formula as a million other Lifetime channel thrillers. Good guy attracts crazy woman..crazy woman does crazy things..Good guy defends himself and his family..insert ending. ****It won't win any awards. A week from now you'll forget the name of it. But, for what it is attempting, it does well. Problem is, it's not attempting much.

Like Fatal Attraction minus the bunny.

[mxsuba26 · 1/10 · 28 July 2019]

Plot: Stylish, well groomed, heavily tattooed and recently divorced community college professor hooks up with sexy, shapely and psychotic new student for some extra curricular after-school bedroom activities. Must be how they do extra credit in college these days. Even though he is clean and sober in AA, he does not object too hard to having her pour booze straight from the bottle into his mouth as he is tied down in bed with her sitting on him. So much for AA and how did he not choke from that stunt? He eventually wants out but she thinks otherwise and decides to get some payback by going after his ex and his daughter.

The perfect mix of poor acting including the two most unconvincing police detectives you can find (one looks like a wannabe male model complete with spiked hair and tweezed eyebrows), predictable story line, undeveloped characters and dirt cheap production. By the way, how many community college profs in Los Angeles can afford to drive a Caddy Escalade, have a luxury apartment, pay alimony and child support and have their ex living in their former large and beautiful home complete with pool? They must pay really really well there.

Don't bother watching

[kinghenry-68681 · 3/10 · 24 July 2019]

Apart from the soundtrack, this movie is very badly made. A very poor attempt at copying Martin Lawrence's movie A thin line between love and hate.

Horrible

[opaul-23261 · 1/10 · 27 August 2019]

Bro this is the worst movie I have ever seen I cannot believe this. Horrible story line. Didn't make sense. Horrible acting. Who wrote this and why.

NOT HIS PERFORMANCE, but theirs!

[navhec · 2/10 · 17 July 2019]

If you are impressed with this film, it is bc the THREE WOMEN--wife, wife's mother and student-girlfriend--are what carried this film. even if you can get rid of any acting skills you had in the past, you can still see this guys timing is HORRIBLY OFF compared to Draya and Elise. HOR-RIB-LY! OFF! ... he too often takes long awkward pauses to arrive an emotional moment that his "scene partner" arrives by blinking making believability hard to digest. with him OUT OF THE FILM this would've been a 10, easily! check these women's acting chops out compared to this poorly written script. they still manage to create magic and slam dunk each scene in each breath

I am your serpent in the tree.

[nogodnomasters · 3/10 · 21 July 2019]

Professor Thomas Lewis (Charles Malik Whitfield) of ancient mythology at LACC recently got his 90 day chip from AA which he displays to his ex-wife (Elise Neal) winning back unsupervised visits with his daughter Brittney (Cassidey Fralin).

Tracey Jacobs (Draya Michele) is a student in his class who has a questionable past who has the will and desire to turn this into a "Fatal Attraction" type of film.

Made for TV drama. Bland and predictable.

Guide: No swearing of nudity. Sex scene.

Good idea, but needs a rewrite.

[Nemesis42 · 4/10 · 4 August 2019]

Poor Writing, poor direction. Bad use if songs and sound mixing. The pace was odd. The actors did a decent job with what they were given.

Very impressed

[pamelacjenkins · 10/10 · 25 September 2018]

This movie was really good. I'm was so happy to see Draya in this role. She did an excellent job and it was not one of those movies that you know how its gonna end as soon as it starts. Loved it.

Overdone Premise, Predictable Story

[morbidlove21 · 2/10 · 20 July 2019]

The basic premise of this story has been done in one way or another at least half a dozen times. The acting was average at best; a lot of the line delivery came across like the delivery you'd hear in a soap opera. The progression of the story was incredibly predictable which killed the tension. This gets 2 stars only because it's not as terrible as some movies I've seen.

So bored, didn't bother to finish it

[cassie-fett · 1/10 · 23 July 2019]

The consistent close up shots of the protagonists feminine assets bordered on soft core adult movie vibes. It was weird.

Absolutely no chemistry between the couple, their acting attempts were appalling. One scene touched on the stalker's attempts at harrassing voice mail messages. It was so fake and insincere that it came off comical.

The endless preaching by certain characters came off with a strong religious vibe, totally unsufferable and long winded.

Nothing redeeming about this movie and I didn't feel compelled to watch to the ending.

Can a movie be C rated?

[pbzdyl · 2/10 · 20 August 2019]

When going in to watch this movie, I didn't have high expectations and yet, I was still disappointed. The only reason I'm giving this a 2 star rather than 1 is because I can't imagine how tough it was for the actors to perform with this weak of a script. I mean, the "fight scene" at the end of the movie? She bashed her head off of the cushion and knocked her out? And then she duct taped her mouth shut and asked her to answer the question? Just an overall atrocity of a movie

What a joke

[Reggiemh · 1/10 · 16 August 2019]

This might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen! I swear the leading male roll got his haircut between scenes! Its was just ridiculous! And to be honest, I pushed fast forward though at least 40 percent of it!

The acting is horrible

[grimreaperrr · 1/10 · 27 July 2019]

The main actor is a horrible horrible actress. My God it's hard to watch.
