Stalking Laura Reviews:
Very good movie - lots of suspense 
2008-10-08 - I first saw this several years ago when I was just a child. It had such an impact on me that I recently searched the TV channels until I finally located it and watched it again. I told my sister about it and she said that we should definitely buy a copy of it.
Although I watched it as a child, I don't believe it is a good movie for children as the end of the movie gets kind of bloody and frightening. Parents should decide for themselves if their children can handle it.
Very Entertaining
2008-09-08 - This movie delivers all of the suspense and thrills of a true tale of obsession. The cast was selected with perfection. I would highly recommend the movie.

2008-07-20 - Richard Thomas and Brooke Shields are terrific in this movie. A movie anyone can relate to.
Chillingly accurate TV movie of a true event 
2008-05-10 - I found this little gem after a lot of searching on various sites. Having seen it 14 years ago when it appeared on TV under the title of 'I Can Make You Love Me; The Stalking of Laura Black', and being haunted by how accurate it was, I was thrilled to see it again. Richard Thomas brilliantly plays the computer engineer Richard Farley (though he looks nothing like the real Richard Farley); cunning, fiendish and genuinely chilling. For those who remember Thomas as 'John-Boy' on 'The Waltons', his performance will shatter that wholesome image. Brooke Shields is quite effective as Laura Black, the new computer engineer working at Farley's firm who fights back against his relentless harassment. The actors who play Chris (her supervisor at KEI) and Lt. Grijalva (hostage negotiator) are also effective. Having read about the true story of Farley & Black, I can say with some confidence that the movie is extremely close to the facts of the true story. Richard Farley finds out EVERY detail of Laura's life, right down to the locations of her parents & sisters, then threatens to harm them should Laura continue to ignore him. Farley is eventually fired by KEI for his continual harassment & decrease in productivity. But even THAT does not stop him - he continues his chilling pursuit of Laura by showing up in her garage, at her work, following her when she is dating another man, and, most chillingly - returns for a final time to KEI to carry out a horrifying massacre. It will end with 7 KEI employees dead, SWATs called in to stop the assault, and Farley awaiting a death sentence at San Quentin. Probably one of the finest TV movies ever produced in the 1990s.
Togo's #23. It's the best
2008-02-27 - "Stalking Laura" is the feel good romantic comedy of the year that's finally available on DVD. Richard Thomas stars as our shy, misunderstood hero Richard Farley who's determined to win the heart of a cold, career minded co-worker (Laura Black) portrayed with bitchy hilariousness by Brooke Shields. Determined to win her love despite the objections of an overzealous and litigious HR representative, clueless bosses and Laura's wacky best friend, who all try their best to prevent the unlikely interoffice romance, a cute office game of "Cowboys and Indians" shows just how far Richard will go to win Laura's cold heart.
I can't think of a better way to spend a chilly Tuesday night, than to curl up on my sofa with a Togo's #23 sandwich (it's the best) and a quart sized diet cola (extra ice, I like to chew on the ice) and my copy of "Stalking Laura". If I could give this movie 7-stars, I would, but take my word for it. I will make you love Stalking Laura.
