Audience Member Nick Mancuso came off as personable and sympathetic as the sane ex. The other and titular ex who just won't let go (Yancy Butler) is really crazy because she goes to extreme lengths and with such ease to make Mancuso's life a living hell. Worth seeing but don't expect a masterpiece. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member awesome film. yancy butler is a terrific actress and a sexy one at that. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I agree the kid couldn't act. Mocie kinda dragged on, not one of my faves Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/08 Full Review Audience Member This was mince. The kid couldn't act, he kept the same blank smile on for the whole movie. He was like that kid that Joey tries to get to cry in Friends. And who would decide to go to a remote lakehouse where the phones don't work if a psycho is after you? When the kid sets her alight, why does she turn into a fireball in 2 seconds flat? Had she been bathing in gasoline? All she had to do was take off her coat. At the very most roll around a bit on the ground or jump in the lake which is RIGHT there. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/08/07 Full Review Audience Member i was highly impressed! wud watch again! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/07 Full Review Audience Member This young lady is a bnnyboiler from hell lol Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/07 Full Review Read all reviews
