joebjackson Now don't get me wrong, it is horrible when abuse like this happens in the real world. Abuse is no doubt a subject that should be dealt with care...this movie does not to a good job of that. First off, starting the movie with the revelation is a bad idea and the film has no surprises after, we know whats going to happen, it all depends on how and when. The good: fred and Candice held up well in the acting department for the most part. It is trying to deal with a serious issueThe bad: Bobby is as subtle as a gun to the face! He is always acting creepy, cruel or psycho even in scenes where he should not be. Now of course I can forgive that so long as we have a smart sympathetic lead...Stacy is horribly annoying! She is always complaining about the stuff she should not be, and keeps going back to bobby despite clear evidence he is insane. She goes back not once or twice like any believable person, but 7 times!!! And only during the sixth does she dump him, only to go back to him, calling him a friend!!! And after that...slaps her and then let's him drive her home!!! Actually whenever someone questions Stacy about bobby she always whines and says "you're just jealous because you can't find love!!!". What a horrible character! This is what kills the movie! Stacy is such a dumb idiot! If this really is based on a true story than I sincerely hope that the real person was not like this! Bye is clearly a horrible person and actual physical evidence of abuse Is on her body, but noooo!That aspect is really the only reason the movie get praised, it's based on a true story! If it was not than it would be shunned! The movie feels like one of those horrible teen dramas that use factors like this for a free pass. However, things like those are exploitive of the subject. Films like this should explore not exploit! I have no doubt a lot of the movie was made up and I pray to god that is the case.

redrain26 This movie is A great movie to show to teenage girls and women in general some people think the have no where to turn like Stacy did and when she did break free there really was know one to catch her abuse is real if you never experience it you wouldn't know how to react toward a person in it , this movie comes on DVD now. it funny I saw it on Cbs I could believe it right away when i saw the cover i remember it one of those movies that stays with you because the guy is so evil how he just put that poor girl through hell , this is a true life story and I feel a great deal for that poor girls family well there i said my peace so rent it .

ohmypotter This movie broke my heart in a major way. It also enlightened me. I mean, everybody heres the horror story's of girls in abusive relationships. And your first thought is, how can she stay with him? And how do u let it get as bad as Stacy did? But this really is a great movie. I saw it in Health class, and i was just so sad. Stacy was brutally murdered and she didn't have to be. If someone had just spoken up, or noticed something. It's scary how in love she was with him, and how much he controlled her. THIS WAS BASED ON A TRUE STORY! So everybody should try and look out for their friends. I hope that if something that horrible was happening to me, I A. would have the sense to get out, or B. Have good enough friends to help m.

Boi_crazi01 This movie was so awesome. Me and my friends were crying when he killed her every girl should see it and realize when to get out she always had an excuse i saw this movie in gym my teacher thought she should show every one of us girls when a relationship is healthy or not healthy. Now every girl in my gym class realizes when they should get out i loved the movie it was just wow!
