Okay so I was very geared up and excited to see another psycho crazed chick stalk some poor innocent guy that just doesn't want her and I kinda got what I wanted but I have to nit pick this, of course.

The story was pretty good and as most of us know nothing can compare or even come close to Fatal Attraction. Many try but nothing can beat that one. I think this movie gave it its best shot and in the end lost.

In the fatal attraction movie you had a marriage of love and trust (from what I remember). In this movie it's more about love not trust. Some say they go hand in hand while others disagree. I disagree and here's why. When you love someone you love them, if they break your heart by cheating then you no longer trust them but you still do love them and must make a decision either end it or continue on. With that being said all of the red flags in this relationship stood out like a sore thumb.

#1. Beyonce's character asks her husband "I thought we said no more female secretaries?" or something along those lines.

#2. After Beyonce's character finds out her husband has a female temp secretary person she conveniently shows up at husbands job to "chat" with husband and as I suspect was the original plan to check up on him and check out his new hot temp only to grill him about how beautiful she is and be rude to a woman she doesn't know because she's jealous and insecure. Uhh.. *yawn*

#3. The classic line of most women to ask their men is "Is she pretty?" and the man says "nah" or whatever she wants to hear to make her feel better.

#4. Husband in this movie I'm guessing was a player and loved to flirt with women as his wife points out at some point in this movie because she was a temp and has first hand experience with his "old" behavior but now that they are married he seems to have to prove to his wife that he is no longer acting that way around new temps, hence the rule of not being able to have temps of the opposite sex.

Aside from my little negative remarks I must say the positives outweigh the negatives by many. For instance, the people cast in this movie are all terrific actors and they play their parts very well. I have always been a fan of Beyonce and Ali Larter. Wow! Both very strong women that exude self confidence.

The ass kicking scene was pretty f'n great too! There's nothing like a good catfight to end a story.

    I rented this because people kept telling me how good it was, turns out they were wrong. Good review though.
