It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Recap: Ellena Roberts is arrested but insists that everything must be a misunderstanding. She had an affair with a successful surgeon and got a little over-zealous when he broke it off. At least that is her story. The surgeon, David Stillman, has a completely different story. He claims Ellena harasses him and his family and that the affair never took place. Lawyer Sara Miller offers to represent Ellena and finds her in the unenviable position to decide what is the truth, Ellena's version or David's.Comments: Often when you see a made for television movie you dismiss it before you even see it. Sometimes that is a mistake, and so it is in this case. This was a very interesting and intriguing movie that kept me alert the entire time. What is most interesting that the movie actually seems unbiased. Often enough the movie chooses side for the audience, we are clearly shown who is the good guy to root for and who is the bad guy to loathe and fight against. For once, this movie lets both parties, literally in a court, present their cases. And both stories make sense. At least initially there is precious little that indicates whom to believe. Which is interesting because in real life, in real court, this must be a common situation. There are two versions, both mutually exclusive, and you must decide which one is the truth. And in this movie you get to see which one, but it is not presented right away so it is an interesting tale to see.It is a good cast, even if few of them is famous. But Jenna Elfman do deserve an extra mention because her role could not be easy to do, and she pulls it off spectacularly.This movie is much better than expected, well worth to rent if you wish to see something else than a fast paced action. Do not dismiss it beforehand.7/10

even if you are not a major fan, she actually delivers in this suspense/psychodrama, which was based on a true story.She basically portrays a sales rep who encounters a neurosurgeon, (portrayed by Sam Robards) and has occasion to date him. Look for a very good cameo role with Lisa Edelstein ("House, M.D.") as Elfman's friend/alter ego.The situation escalates as Elfman becomes obsessed with Dr. Stillman (Robards). The setting is in Chicago, and several of the scenes are well done, especially considering this is a made for TV movie.If you are a fan of Elfman, she was also very good in the film paired with Kellie Martin, and Patti LuPone, regarding addiction.

What were the lyric in this Movie. Or is there a Sound Track for this movie. Please get back to me at address above.I was really impressed with this movie. She was a crazy lady. She could hear someone talking to her and it was all in her head. Scary!!! I hope I never happens to me. The guy shouldn't have mess with her in the first place. You never know how a person you meet will turn out. Her Obsesstion went to far. I felt for the wife in this whole movie. Most of I liked when she was in the shower and they were playing this song I am looking for . And then the police came and arrested her for stocking the guy.How that is where it all began.

Surprisingly, for a Lifetime movie, this was really watchable. Not great, necessarily but definitely watchable. The fetching Jenna Elfman plays a woman accused of harassing a handsome doctor. As the plot kicks in and the point of view switches from Jenna's seemingly normal medical writer to the doctor we learn that the young lady isn't all she seems to be. Handled in a really mature character-oriented fashion instead of the usually hysterical overly zealous admirer-from hell manner. And Jenna's really got acting chops!
