The movie "Secret Obsession" wasn't quite as bad as the overall rating and most of the reviews suggest.
However, the thing that I hated easily the most was Brenda Song's role which consisted mostly of lifeless acting, appalling facial expressions and a limp that just couldn't be believed. And she got to do the fake limp in just about every single scene in the whole movie. If there were a category at the Oscars and other awards involving least convincing limp in a leading role, or even in a supporting role, Brenda's performance in this movie would truly stand the test of time. She was just awful and the lead actor was very little better.
I see that Brenda is half Thai on her mother's side and that explains an awful lot. I live in Thailand and I don't have any access to TV here precisely because Thai acting is always so thoroughly appalling that I refuse even to have the possibility of it in my house.
Over all, a rubbish movie that certainly doesn't bear watching ever again.
