This movie sets up a well-worn premise. A married housewife/ teacher/ executive has a reckless intimate one-off regretful encounter with a charming guy only to find out he's a raving obsessed stalker.

There are a number of plot holes here that were too distracting for even "Lifetime movie logic".

The fact that she is receiving these relentless disturbing text messages from the stalker and APPARENTLY blocking someone on your cellphone was not invented yet in 2022 when this movie was made.

I don't claim to be a legal snob but I'm pretty sure you can't walk into a police station and lodge a complaint - maybe even show a few ambiguous text messages - and within an hour or so secure a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that the restrainee APPARENTLY "must sign" on the spot.

The fact that Carrie (Lifetime regular Andrea Bowen) SIGNS the TRO despite the fact that we can assume it contains a grossly false narrative, and that is now a legal document that can be used later in any court proceedings.

The fact that she signed the TRO without consulting an attorney.

The fact that a woman would sign a TRO against someone and NOT immediately inform their spouse. Really?

The fact that she doesn't report the presumed stalker leaving the creepy watch gift at her office. And the notion that despite her office being in this massive glass and steel office building - which they make a point to show multiple times - APPARENTLY there is not one security camera that can capture this man from his entire path from the entrance to office and back, therefore violating the TRO.

The fact that within an hour or so that your husband is assaulted in an empty car garage you yourself casually saunter off to your own car in an empty car garage.

The fact that you design an elaborate scheme to trap the stalker (in the middle of nowhere with spotty cell service) that APPARENTLY consists of only "tasering the stalker then running".

The fact that in this scheme during which you are on a nail-biting "stalker vigil" and you inexplicably feel it's "safe" to take a full-on bubble bath in the nude with candles and everything.

The fact once you've fled the house and are free and clear of the would-be killer, instead of calling 911, the middle-aged man in the group feels a better idea is that he confront the much younger stalker by himself while the 2 other women simply sit in a car and whimper.

No surprises here. No twists here. I usually give Lifetime movies some leeway but this woman responded to every situation with the worst judgement ever.

How Andrea Bowen was casted for this role makes absolutely no sense. She has too be the most frumpy looking actress in any LMN movie. To try and make us believe some "rock star" Dante is obsessed with her is laughable. And I wouldn't want to buy any medical equipment from her totally clueless dopey husband. And what was the shower scene with her washing all the filth off of herself after a couple of kisses she had with the acoustic rock star? That was pathetic. The whole movie went from bad to worse. The complete clueless, goofball husband was just over the top. He also went from bad to worse. 2 stars for comedic value.

Hall Pass Nightmare

My review title is the main laughable, nonsensical issue of this latest of many over-the-top LMN fictional flicks with its usual premise of a violent psycho-stalker LBG (Lifetime Bad Guy) who's hyper-focused on LGG (Lifetime Good Girl) for unknown reasons - this time in the form of a famous singer who used to be in a rock band and has gone solo under the stage name 'Dante'.

Other laughable issues include:

• the object of LBG's obsession being unattractive and boring - as if this hot "bad boy" didn't already have a plethora of groupies drooling over him from which he could pick and choose.....but no, of course he just had to set his sights on a mediocre, stringy-haired, uptight married woman with a boring job in healthcare administration and no tattoos (I remember watching her - Andrea Bowen - as Julie, the daughter of one of the Desperate Housewives, years ago)

• her plan to stop his stalking is to stupidly entice him to her BFF's house where she and her two girlfriends think they'll bring him down with a taser and baseball bat

• no help from the police whatsoever

• LGG's husband overacted to the point that he came across as a dorky goof (he also reminded me of a young Harrison Ford in the looks dept.)
