“If you are a fan of a good Lifetime thriller, then this is the movie for you. It is filled to the brim with enough paternity drama, kidnapping, unexpected pregnancy, mother/daughter bonding, and adoption issues to keep you thoroughly entertained for itu0026#39;s brief 90 minutes. Stalked At 17, naturally based on true events, tells the story of high school student Angela who falls for 21-year-old Chad. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eChad, abandoned by his drug-addict mother, when he was four years old, has a great deal of family issues to sort out, and is clearly in no position to be starting a family of his own. When Angela becomes pregnant with Chadu0026#39;s child, all hell breaks loose, as Chadu0026#39;s aggression begins to show. Angelau0026#39;s parents naturally pull her away from him, only making matters worse. Will Angela and her infant son survive this disturbing affair? Youu0026#39;ll have to check out Stalked At 17 to find out. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile the film may not be perfect in every regard, it is certainly an entertaining hour and a half, with very good performances throughout. Taylor Spreitler, who plays Angela, gives a very authentic feel to her adolescent angst, and is a very likable heroine. My favorite characters in the film however were Angelau0026#39;s mom, played by Amy Pietz, and Chadu0026#39;s adopted mom, played by Linda Purl. The films best moments are shared between these two women interacting in the hopes of protecting their children. Chuck Hittinger plays Chadu0026#39;s level of crazy obsession very well, although occasionally he goes a bit overboard. But this certainly does not take away from the enjoyment of the film. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, Stalked At 17, is an engaging tale of regret, obsession, and deceit, with Angela and Chad both playing for keeps. If youu0026#39;re a fan of suspenseful Lifetime movies, you will definitely enjoy this one.”
