The film opens with first person narration from Dori (Katia Winter) who talks about love. She has apparently met Mr. Right in Norman (Matthew Settle). They have an intimate relationship she reads too much into. Norman agrees to a long weekend getaway to a secluded home up north. Here Norman is surprised by Dori's two children and grandparents. Things turn sour after Dori says the dreaded "L" word and we soon see Norman in the tied up condition depicted on the cover.Dori abides by a relationship book that claims you have to experience all the holidays with each other, which she quickly does in June, with her family considering the odd behavior normal.This is indeed a quirky film, one for women who have grown tired of bad relationships. It is an impressive indie which oozed with dark comedy and ironic statements. Great date night film.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, brief nudity (Katia Winter)

For an unemployed single mother of two a Porsche driving company owner sure seems like the man of her dreams, but it is not the same for him. Her unrealistic expectations turn to bitter disappointment when her 'I love you' is not reciprocated, and she becomes vengeful. She expects a lifelong financial support both for her and her two kids in exchange for some bedroom and occasional kitchen action, and that is what she calls Love, and being in touch with her emotions! The storyline portrays psychotic, but comments on ordinary, everyday relationships. A sad state of gender affairs. Bitter, but all too realistic film.Seduction that turns into obsession, and then torture. Comments on family as 'ball and chain' for the male, in this movie literally. This is a serious date movie, not a romantic comedy. It is not a triller, but social commentary.

First, what is with the ratings on IMDb. Seems like bull. Man was it entertaining. I will watch this friends next time. Rotten Tomatoes gave this good enough props audience anyway. who the hell believes critics? I thought i'd check it out Sunday night. It gave me gas watching the man get tied up and rolled up and pushed around by the family. I nearly crapped myself when Norman decided to think of the kid instead of his sorry self getting kidnapped by a bunch of hillbillies. I once had a girl, a serious girlfriend not just a fling, tell me she had never been married before... Not only was she married, she had four kids from different men and she was looking to find a father for all of them. No way in hell do I want to raise another man's spawn. It's called responsibility as they say, 'Not My Kid Not My Problem'. This movie was twisted and alright. And save your money. OBLIVION is garbage.

This movie had an interesting plot and had quite a few twists and turns. The idea of surviving holidays with a new boyfriend is different. I would recommend it as a date movie as it definitely gave my date and I a few conversation pieces. I've always been a great fan of Charlotte Rae and she didn't disappoint as a crazy, yet kind grandmother. It's also great to see newcomer Katia Winter play a very convincing psycho. It was a good mix of laughs yet the suspense made for some great goose bump moments. In this day and age of internet dating, this movie seems appropriate as a cautionary tale for those in the dating world.
