robert23-1 For the first time, I agree with the current rating of which I gave a 7 mainly because of the lead actor(Chuck Hittinger) in the role of Chad. I felt despite the poor casting of Jamie Luner & Linda Purl, two of the finest actresses in Hollywood, Hittinger's performance "saved" what otherwise is weak writing and casting, especially Taylor Spreitler. Hittinger, one of the best young actors, as with "Bad Tutor", again was worth watching. His acting skills shine through and was well cast in the role, the type of which he's best suited. I always enjoy watching his movies, most of which tend to be full of suspense and thrilling! He is very capable of "carrying" any movie as a lead!!

lindadrobinson For someone who is stalked, and then basically kidnapped at gunpoint, the young actress Taylor Spreitler was not ready for this role. Her performance was wooden.The writing for this movie was really not that good. The Stalker gave a decent performance, as well as his adoptive mother and biological mother.This movie would have been much better with a stronger lead actress in the role.Overall, another basic nothing movie by Lifetime. Though lately, Lifetime Movies have got some hits in the Anna Nicole movie, and the Jodi Arias movie.

Jesus Baron There's a lot of fluff in the media right now, stuff which is just meant to entertain and nothing more. Is there anything wrong with that? No. But we often lose sight of what the media, film in this case, can do -- be entertaining and provide a good, strong message to a relevant audience. Stalked at 17 does a fantastic job of driving home very important points and relevant subject matter to its target audience. The actors' portrayals of their characters (Taylor Spreitler and Chuck Hittinger, who you'll recognize from Melissa & Joey and Pretty Little Liars, respectively) are spot on, something young women and men can identify with. The actors' who played the parents are also fantastic, driving home just how much turmoil can be stirred up in the situations of teenage pregnancy and, in a case such as this, a crazy boyfriend. Speaking of which -- crazy he is. Really crazy. But the interesting aspect of the character as written in this script, and as portrayed by Mr. Hittinger, is that he is also relatable. Relatable in kidnapping and stalking? Not to a majority of the audience, of course. Relatable in that he is obsessive? Yes. Relatable in that he had a bad childhood and desperately wants to make up for it? Yes. Relatable that he is going about everything all wrong? Yes. A lot of young men do. There is a reason for his madness, one many people have dealt with in their own ways. And for this reason, he stays away from the moustache-twirling douche bag one might expect. The ending of the movie leaves a little to be desired, but one of the last scenes if of the girl holding her baby, who will now grow up without its real father in most of its life. Sad. But not exactly fantasy.

Viktor Vedmak (realvedmak) Is it only in USA that guy being 21 and girl being 17 somehow is supposed to make audience feel that there is something wrong? That 17 is really not all that much different from 21. You don't know all that much more unless you are undergoing extreme experiences. Most people spend those years mostly in school, and not all that much changes.I don't believe I ever met 17 year old that was as stupid as main character was in this movie.This movie was badly written. They should have had psychologist/psychiatrist with actual field experience as consultant.Instead script reads like it was written by somebody utterly clueless about regular people that age.To top that off, casting was just horrible. Main actress cant act and should look for different career. So should most of the rest of the cast.I find that if script was better written, and if acting was better, perhaps this could have been a tragic story, where we could feel bad for both people. Instead, I felt nothing at all for any character in this movie, and found myself fast forwarding a lot.Give this one a pass, your time should be worth more to you.
