Enchorde Recap: Ellena Roberts is arrested but insists that everything must be a misunderstanding. She had an affair with a successful surgeon and got a little over-zealous when he broke it off. At least that is her story. The surgeon, David Stillman, has a completely different story. He claims Ellena harasses him and his family and that the affair never took place. Lawyer Sara Miller offers to represent Ellena and finds her in the unenviable position to decide what is the truth, Ellena's version or David's.Comments: Often when you see a made for television movie you dismiss it before you even see it. Sometimes that is a mistake, and so it is in this case. This was a very interesting and intriguing movie that kept me alert the entire time. What is most interesting that the movie actually seems unbiased. Often enough the movie chooses side for the audience, we are clearly shown who is the good guy to root for and who is the bad guy to loathe and fight against. For once, this movie lets both parties, literally in a court, present their cases. And both stories make sense. At least initially there is precious little that indicates whom to believe. Which is interesting because in real life, in real court, this must be a common situation. There are two versions, both mutually exclusive, and you must decide which one is the truth. And in this movie you get to see which one, but it is not presented right away so it is an interesting tale to see.It is a good cast, even if few of them is famous. But Jenna Elfman do deserve an extra mention because her role could not be easy to do, and she pulls it off spectacularly.This movie is much better than expected, well worth to rent if you wish to see something else than a fast paced action. Do not dismiss it beforehand.7/10

Slammer Obsessed is a nice movie for a nice evening.Its mainly he-said/she-said movie because its taken from a true trial case. And like all movies that fit into this class, director has put an extra effort to make the judgement (in real case) look like as if it is truth.Shouldn't we say 'Based on true trial case' rather than 'Based on true story' because nobody knows the truth except Ellaina and Doctor Stillman themselves. Judgement of court is based on facts and everybody who has seen a real-life trial knows how lawyers and liars bend them easily.Ellain(Jenna Elfman) is a successful medical writer who is obsessed with a neurosurgeon Dr Stillman. Although this is exposed very slowly till the end.Ellain is shown to be schizophrenic just because it aids true trial case outcome. Movie could have been excellent, if facts from both sides were given similar treatment by director and he had left decision in hands of viewers.Not to mention, Jenna's performance is amazing. One of the dialogues in the movie(may not be accurate): Dr Stillman: "You are amazing." Ellaina: "I like it when you say that word. Say it again."Jenna you are amazing ;P

iamronr Why only 127 votes on IMDb? I cannot understand this, for what I thought was a very good movie. Perhaps IMDb could encourage members to vote more often as too few and the total vote is rather meaningless.It may have been originally made for TV but it is freely available from video shops on DVD, so a lot of people must have seen Obsessed.The story & suspense was great, and Jenna Elfman beautiful, an excellent actress and just right for the part as the lover. It is cleverly directed as the story changes one hundred percent to the (slightly predictable) ending. The main criticism is to how the doctor was able to resist the advances of the sexy girl. Most men couldn't !It was such a sad ending when Jenna's mind was shown to be so sick, and instead of being put into a mental home was imprisoned for two years.

Robert J. Maxwell Spoilers.Speaking to you as your forensic anthropologist, and I know I'm not, and -- oh, won't you please sit down? It wouldn't be hard to reconstruct Jenna Elfman's face if her skull were found in the densely wooded area where most bodies are found. It's an unusual splanchnocranium. She has a sizable jaw, flaring zygomatic arches, and then the upper part of her face squeezes itself together into a narrower skull. Superficially she has close-set eyes that are narrow. Her lips are narrow too (and very expressive). It would be more accurate to say, about her body, that every once of fat is properly distributed, rather than that there is no ounce of fat at all. She's beautiful, and she has a tall dancer's body. (She taught Paco how to dance near the beginning of "Serpico.")Doctor Stillman is a stereotype. A nice famous Jewish doctor, the kind of guy with a face as interesting as a hard-boiled egg, who will obey orders at home and do what he's told, when he's not out making himself famous or raking in mountains of shekels.Jenna Elfman thinks they had an affair, when evidently they didn't. (I'm not sure I believe that. Stillman may be a schmuck, but Elfman's legs are each 5 feet long.) She develops a case of "erotomania," which is made to sound like something that only a total basket case would suffer from. It's the "delusion," which is a technical term for a belief that flies into the face of all evidence to the contrary, that a famous person, such as a renowned neurosurgeon, is in love with you. Put it another way though. Don't do the dumb things that Jenna Elfman does in this movie -- send snotty voice mails to the judge and so forth -- just believe that there is a relationship between you and someone else, whether one of love or hate, and in FACT that other person doesn't even count you as a significant other. Elfman may be nuts, but in a lesser sense we all are, aren't we? It's so EASY to look at the head of the cheerleading squad (or whatever it's called) or the captain of the football team in High School and misinterpret his glance, the momentary fixture of your gaze and the other's, as meaning something that it doesn't. Like the handwriting on the wall, some of these things are interpreted in the way that's most convenient for us. That's what makes this above average, if we can only see it. Yes, Elfman is off her rocker (revealed only gradually, and nicely done too). But we're all off our rockers, if less so.
