|---|
This movie was directed by James Foley.
There was a sixteen-year old girl named Nicole. She had great family and a lot of friends. Nicole even had a best friend and her name was Margo. Everything in her life went fine. Until one day when Nicole and her best friend Margo went to the night club. There, at the night club, Nicole met what she thought was a really nice guy named David. So, that's when Nicole and David got together.
A couple of weeks later, Nicole sees that David is becoming really jealous of her talking to other guys. One time, David even beats up Nicole's friend (male) because David saw her walking with him. So, Nicole decided to break up with him and when David finds that out, he really gets angry and tries everything to get her back. But Nicole won't go with him anymore and that's when David and his gang break up into Nicole's house and crash everything. And that leads to some very bad consequences.

Reese Witherspoon thinks she has met the perfect guy, but she is badly mistaken. Mark Wahlberg swoops Witherspoon off her feet and becomes her Prince Charming, on the outside. He has a dark side though, and Nicole Walker's (Witherspoon) and he attacks her and her family.
--Steve Polizzi, Resident Scholar
