I think people just like to criticise Travolta these days due to his Scientology. Personally I don't care. I have much more issue with other religions to care about that one and it has zero impact on how he acts. This is a decent take on the stalker genre and Travolta having first hand experience with autism plays the character very well and for some reason reviewers think this part of the acting is funny. Clearly never had first hand experience dealing with adults with autism as if they had they would understand this is pretty accurate behaviour for some and his performance should be applauded not ridiculed but hey people are ignorant,what's new. The story nicely conveys the negatives of celebrity and highlights that some actors are indeed A holes to fans as we've seen all too often recently in the news. The ending is a bit weak as it implies Moose gets off scott free despite his actions but this isn't Oscar material so it gets a pass. Especially as his character is a likeable oaf. Not the best but still a very watchable 5 stars.
