Product Description

In a Chicago jail cell, clever and charming Ellena Roberts recounts for attorney Sara Miller the details of a one-night stand that led to a heated love affair with prominent surgeon David Stillman. David's version of the facts differs entirely and he insists that he never slept with Ellena. Sure that the doctor is the one who's lying, Sara is preparing to defend her client in court when some disturbing facts emerge.

Fatal Attraction meets A Beautiful Mind in this fact-based Lifetime thriller. Jenna Elfman (Dharma and Greg) is sexually confident medical writer Ellena Roberts. Shortly after we meet her, she is arrested. While in jail, she meets with sympathetic defense attorney Sara Miller (Kate Burton) and recounts her side of the story. It seems she had a relationship with married surgeon David Stillman (Sam Robards), but he broke it off. She didn't want things to end and continued to write, to call, etc. She didn't make any threats, but nor would she give it a rest, so he called the cops. The case goes to court and David claims he knew Ellena professionally, but that they never had a relationship. By the end, we have a pretty good idea as to what really happened. That's because one person is sane--and therefore credible--while the other is not. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Sorry but boring, boring, boring - but nice surprise twist at end

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2010

Even though I watched the entire movie (although sorely tempted to quit watching), this one never rose above average for me. Yes, there is a surprise twist at the end but the rest of the movie simply dragged on far too long. None of the actors were compelling enough to make this seem like more than a he said/she said tale. Sure, there were some sexy scenes but I didn't find the chemistry between Ellena Roberts (played by Jenna Elfman) and David Stillman (Sam Roberts) to be authentic. I did find the surprise twist at the end to be a nice touch but otherwise this isn't really worth the time. I find plenty of Lifetime Original Movies to be very well done. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them.

The basic plot? A doctor finds himself the subject of obsession (or is he?) by Ellena. After that, the movie disintegrates into the he said/she said viewpoints noted above as well as the build-up to the courtroom scenes. I found myself getting impatient with the seemingly clueless Elenna and eager for the movie to end. I only sat through the whole thing in order to write this review.

It was an okay movie (a bit suspense). I thought at first it was the movie (Beyonce). Its a good revenge for people harassing one person. I edit some of the comment I put in here. I get over board sometime. Anyways, a beautiful woman shouldn't be obsess in one guy. There's million of men out there; however, out of that million, theres only a few you could find that will take you as you are. Young women are naive. But when you reach the age late 30's, some women are becoming picky and most end up single for a while.

Beyond Obsessed!

I saw this movie on lifetime and after the movie ended I was stunned. The woman in the movie obviously needed psychiatric help, and I was wondering why no one discovered this before she made the doctor and his family's life a living hell. Jenna Elfman did a decent job as the psychotic woman who had no boundaries as for how she behaved in court and towards the doctor and his wife. It will make you wonder after seeing this film if sometimes when men are accused of having affairs and say they did not do it, the movie will make you think that perhaps they may be telling the truth.

A guilty pleasure, but a pleasure all the same

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2008

OK, it's a bit cheesy - it's Lifetime, for God's sake. But I just love this film, about a woman who may or may not be the jilted ex-lover of a prominent (and married) surgeon, who denies having had any relationship with her. Every time I watch it, I see some little insight into the character of the obsessed woman Ellena Roberts (played well enough by Jenna Elfman, though personally I would have liked to see Mira Sorvino).

The more I see it, the more well-written I realize it was.

And it's a treat to see Dr. Cuddy from "House" in the film.

I don't know. I just love this movie!

A must watch! Based on true events.

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2015

This is based on a true story and is pretty much he said/she said. Even at the end you are unsure who is really telling the truth. Yes, she is 50 shades of CRAZY, but you wonder if he did have an affair with her which led to her actions.
I don't like to give away spoilers, but if you like true stories this is one to watch. There are not any dull or slow moments, and while watching, you have to remind yourself it is based on true events.
