If I Can't Have You
First off, comparing "Play Misty For Me" to this thing - as another reviewer did- is like comparing gold to pot metal.
I only gave it 2 stars because of two of my favorite longtime Lifetimers being in it, albeit with small roles: Eric Roberts and Tracy Nelson (although I loved ER long before he became a frequent Lifetime actor). Otherwise it would be a zero rating.
It struck me all through it that the lead actress - Bailey Kai - strongly resembles Darryl Hannah.
Brief review:
Lead actress slept throughout - very flat, emotionless acting. Every time she and her friend would go out for coffee, I hoped it would finally wake her up. Very easy to figure out who the stalker is, from about fifteen minutes into the movie. The hour and thirty-five minutes went by soooo slooow with very little actually happening, leading up to a weak anti-climactic ending. Plus, the two neighbors - Robert and Benjamin Sklar - were confusing as to who was who and who lived where. Especially near the end when Robert walked right by her to go to his car, as if she was in his driveway....?
So flat, draggy, and boring that if it hadn't been for Eric and Tracy, I wouldn't have made it past the first forty mins or so. Skip it and save yourself the time.
Grade F / 2 out of 10.
