Guest Movie Review

Obsessed (one and a half stars total) My wife put together the following list of convenient plot points which require far more than suspension of disbelief:

1. Main Dude announces, "I'm going to take a leak, then I'm going home." Who says that? If he hadn't conveniently mentioned he was going to the bathroom, the following scene couldn't have happened.

2. Beyonce conveniently forgets to set the alarm when she leaves the house the second time so that Crazy Girl can break in. Beyonce was so adamant about buying the alarm, would she really forget to set it?

3. Beyonce and Main Dude go to San Diego (or at least plan to) on different days. There is absolutely no reason for this except that it conveniently allows Crazy Girl to be alone with Main Dude (at least that was the plan).

4. Gay Assistant tells Crazy Girl the plan to leave on different days. Instead of just saying, "They're going to San Diego," he tells her exactly when each person is leaving, thus conveniently allowing her to create a Crazy Plan.

5. Naive Babysitter refuses to speak to Beyonce (who is supposedly) on the phone, thus conveniently allowing the baby to be kidnapped. And why doesn't the baby cry? Isn't that what they do best?
