ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

HorrorFan2013 If you are a fan of a good Lifetime thriller, then this is the movie for you. It is filled to the brim with enough paternity drama, kidnapping, unexpected pregnancy, mother/daughter bonding, and adoption issues to keep you thoroughly entertained for it's brief 90 minutes. Stalked At 17, naturally based on true events, tells the story of high school student Angela who falls for 21-year-old Chad. Chad, abandoned by his drug-addict mother, when he was four years old, has a great deal of family issues to sort out, and is clearly in no position to be starting a family of his own. When Angela becomes pregnant with Chad's child, all hell breaks loose, as Chad's aggression begins to show. Angela's parents naturally pull her away from him, only making matters worse. Will Angela and her infant son survive this disturbing affair? You'll have to check out Stalked At 17 to find out. While the film may not be perfect in every regard, it is certainly an entertaining hour and a half, with very good performances throughout. Taylor Spreitler, who plays Angela, gives a very authentic feel to her adolescent angst, and is a very likable heroine. My favorite characters in the film however were Angela's mom, played by Amy Pietz, and Chad's adopted mom, played by Linda Purl. The films best moments are shared between these two women interacting in the hopes of protecting their children. Chuck Hittinger plays Chad's level of crazy obsession very well, although occasionally he goes a bit overboard. But this certainly does not take away from the enjoyment of the film. Overall, Stalked At 17, is an engaging tale of regret, obsession, and deceit, with Angela and Chad both playing for keeps. If you're a fan of suspenseful Lifetime movies, you will definitely enjoy this one.

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.

Jackie P Movie was entertaining, and the acting better than I had expected from everyone in the film. Leads young but I thought they played their characters well. The 16 / 17 year old lead was naive and made some poor choices, but to me that is well in character for who she was. Her friend Tenaya seemed to have more common sense & offer some good advice. The cast was impressive, I know I've seen most of them in other roles on TV or movies but the acting was good & everyone was believable in their character for this film.The big let down was the ending - the first time I saw it I thought someone at the network had screwed up & cut off the last 5 minutes of the film to start the next one on time. So I watched the last half again when it came on later that night - same thing! Just a close up on the baby & flashbacks her stalker boyfriend was having - presumably as his life ebbed away? After becoming interested in the storyline & the characters I sure wanted more than this vague half baked ending.

ivegonemod This is not going to win any awards, but it passes time. The girl, played by Taylor somebody, is not a good actress, but seems to have improved some since her time on Days of our lives as Mia, a pregnant teen who was with a boy named Chad. That's strange, since she plays a pregnant teen here and the father's name is...Chad. Jamie Luner is totally wasted in this movie. She doesn't get a chance to do anything, and I'm used to her having the lead in TV movies. She was pretty much a zombie here. I didn't like how the girl seemed to be leading Chad on at points. You either don't want him around or you do. If you don't, stop letting him talk you into listening to him and following him places, just don't bother with him if he shows up at your school. What does she think following him around the corner for a little talk is going to do? Honestly, the girl just didn't seem upset at Chad in a realistic way, it was like she was only being slightly annoyed.
