Committed
After her husband, Carl, suddenly leaves, Joline travels from New York to Texas to track him down. Although Joline tries to remain upbeat, she is discouraged when she discovers that Carl already has a new girlfriend, the lovely Carmen. Familiarizing herself with Carl's new home and friends, Joline gets company in the form of her brother, Jay. Will Joline win Carl back, or are there other romantic possibilities on her horizon?
Critics Sentiment
Joline rescues bound Carl by knocking out T-Bo with bat
Police take Joline to mental hospital after property destruction
The film crashes from Joline's romantic vigil to her psychiatric commitment, dropping 1.9 points as her stalking behavior crosses into genuinely concerning territory.
Reviews show the film starts promisingly with Graham's committed performance and an intriguing premise, but gradually loses steam as the quirky comedy becomes uncomfortable stalking behavior. While some reviewers appreciate the character study and road movie elements, many find the execution tedious and the resolution unsatisfying, leaving the film feeling slight despite good intentions.
