Obsessed - Movie Review

Obsessed (PG-13) 101 minutes C+
Beyonce strikes back

Starring Idris Elba, Beyonce Knowles, Ali Larter, Bruce McGill, Jerry O'Connell, and Christine Lahti

Critics generally hated this film but it's not as bad as they would have you believe. Yes, it's more or less a rehashed version of Fatal Attraction, but it's entertaining and mindless fun.

Ali Larter is the femme fatale and Beyonce is the jealous wife (her husband is not allowed to have a female secretary). I figured the film might be terrible but at least there would be plenty to stare at... Yet the film wasn't half bad even though critic Melissa Anderson claims that the break up of Destiny's Child was probably more dramatic than this film (that's pretty funny).

For mainstream moviegoers and fans of Beyonce.
