I made it to the halfway point before I thought, "Is this as bad as I think it is?", and came here to check out the rating and reviews.
The trailer made me think this would be pretty decent, and starring two of my favorites, Epps and Long. Unfortunately the script/story was written by a couple of 14 year olds who have no idea what a long term relationship nor friendship entails. I can buy that Epps is nuts and that his obsession with Long's character spans decades, weird but ok. I do not for one minute believe that a wife, married for 20 years, would be so afraid of her husbands reaction to what amounts to a indiscretion that she would not come clean once she realizes how dangerous the Epps character is. It is almost like she is more afraid of her husband than her stalker. As far as her grown ass woman friend taking David's (Epps) side? Nope. No way. Girls may act like that, intelligent woman presumably know their friends well enough that they don't take an unknown man's word over their long time friends.
On the plus side, these are beautiful people with beautiful clothes, cars and a beach house that is absolutely gorgeous. The views of the California coastline and San Francisco cityscape are delightful.
Too bad the script reads like a 14 year olds diary imagining adult life.
I will finish it, most likely, but just to get more glimpses of the beach house. A feeble reason to watch a movie, but it is the best reason I can come up with for finishing this.
