Lorie soon completely unravels from Ed's lack of commitment, and she cannot stand it when he chooses a golf tournament with some friends over her romantic weekend.

In the doctor's office, Lorie describes to a psychiatrist what she thinks would have been the perfect romance, but is ultimately released.

She then holds Andie hostage where Lorie tells her about her unhappy childhood and about how her own father neglected and abandoned her.

As a result, Lorie then developed an unnatural attraction to older men whom she tries to mold each one in the image of her absent father.

Tony Scott of Variety called a predictable film with "relentlessly tiring (and tiresome) excesses".

[1] Tom Ensign of the Toledo Blade wrote, "What makes this film work is the reality of the situation.

"[2] Faye Zuckerman of The Daily Dispatch called it a "second-rate Fatal Attraction" with a "somewhat effective" performance from Doherty.
