        Don't expect a pot full of boiling bunnies, because nothing so creatively crazy ever happens in Obsessed, a "Fatal Attraction"-inspired predatory-female domestic thriller that spends much time spinning its wheels and making auds practically beg for an explanation to all the madness and obsession.

        Entertainment Weekly

        Obsessed has little plausibility, but at moments it's an entertaining bad movie, and the performers are vivid.

        Isn't half as dramatic as what probably went down after she (Beyoncé Knowles) kicked LaTavia and LaToya out of Destiny's Child.

        The Hollywood Reporter

        Every move is telegraphed well in advance thanks to desultory writing, routine direction and ample musical cues.

        Takes far too long to get cooking, and it works so hard at NOT being exploitation that it loses sight of its reasons for existing in the first place.

        Larter just doesn't have the same bite as the bunny-killing stalkers of years gone by.

        Doing his best to class up the joint, "The Wire's" Idris Elba stars as the perfect man.

        Unfortunately, the whole movie seems constructed just to get the singer/actress into a knock-down catfight, shoehorning one of show business's sexiest entertainers into a scorned-woman role. And even then, the pay-off feels cheap.
