Quotes:

Sharon Charles: Get out of my house!
Derek Charles: This is crazy, Sharon. Can't you see what's happening?
Sharon Charles: Get out of my house.
Derek Charles: Nothing happened with this...
Derek Charles: Alright, you just tell me whatever you want me to do, and that's what I'll do.
Sharon Charles: Well, first, I suggest you pack your toothbrush. And then I want you to get your shaving kit, your underwear, your procollectors if you think you need them and get your ass out!
Derek Charles: And go where, Sharon?
Sharon Charles: To hell! But, until then, I suggest maybe the four seasons.

The Funniest Thriller of the Year!

Ever since I saw the trailer I knew this movie was going to suck really bad. I walked into the theater jam packed. The beginning started pretty descent, then once he started to get to know the "Obsessed" temp, the movie started to get really weird. I think they over exaggerated this movie way to much. The acting was horrible and the ending fight scene was hilarious! Everyone in the theater laughed when the quote "Bitch Breath" was said. This movie could of been a huge success, but they hired really bad actors and actresses. The girl that played the temp is a good actress, she knows better than to sign up for this crap. Overall I gave this a 6/10 because some of it was pretty entertaining, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.
