I Can Make You Love Me,[1] also known as Stalking Laura, is an American 1993 made-for-television psychological thriller film starring Richard Thomas and Brooke Shields.
Shortly after, Rich meets Laura in the parking lot and asks her out, but she politely declines and informs him that their relationship is only professional.
At a KEI softball game, Laura is once again confronted by an increasingly agitated Richard, who insists that their relationship extends outside the workplace.
While visiting her family for Christmas in Virginia, a gift arrives: the above-mentioned doctored photograph of the two of them together - leaving Laura in tears.
After being ordered to attend a counseling session at work, an enraged Richard confronts Laura in the ladies' restroom at a restaurant, threatening her that things will only get worse.
Enraged by the court order, Rich sells his SUV to purchase numerous guns, explosives and over 2000 rounds of ammunition.
While hostage negotiator Lt. Grijalva speaks with him; Laura, although weakened due to loss of blood, makes her way through the ransacked offices.
Rich reveals his motive in a telephone call to Grijalva and the authorities - as it is revenge for Laura refusing to accept him as his girlfriend, and insists she is the guilty party.
He executes one of his surviving victims, unknowingly shooting Chris through a door, but also lets his former landlady Nancy leave the building unharmed.
John Marriott of Radio Times gave a positive review of Shields' and Thomas' performances but criticized the overall depth of characters in the film.
