Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In an early scene, Karen Reese (Kari Matchett) gives Denis Teague (Peter Outerbridge) a stack of invitations to her son's birthday party and tells him they're ready to be mailed - but the one on top (the only one whose front is visible) has no stamp.

Above average TV movie

This is one of those above average TV movies that you'll be glad to have caught on, well, television. I saw it on LMN, and it is definitely worth the while. There's not really a dull moment - and what a creep! The warning signs of an obsessive/abuser is well done--women and girls will be well advised to take heed.

If a guy moves too fast in the relationship, if he doesn't respect boundaries, if he can't take criticisms, if he starts making decisions for you, if you get a gut feeling...listen to your friends, but don't be beholden to them - unless they're warning you against an abuser. It's better to have love and lost then to hold on to an unhealthy relationship.
