Obsessed

PhotobucketPhotobucketHappily married asset manager’s idyllic life is jeopardized when a sexy office temp forms a dangerous fixation on him. Umpteenth variation on Fatal Attraction is hilarious as unintentional comedy. The lazily written script has Derek, the main character, behaving in idiotic ways that will have you shouting at the screen. Beyoncé’s “Oh no you didn’t!” performance is good for several laughs as well. All in all, not quite the camp fest that could have elevated this thriller into the sublime, it still is enjoyable enough. The film’s climax is worth the price of admission alone. Ali Larter makes the most of her underwritten character.
