3.0 out of 5 stars Okay movie, was slightly disappointed
Overall, I felt that this movie was just okay for me. I expected a whole lot more. The acting and set-up was low-budget and the plot made entirely NO sense. I definitely would not recommend purchasing this movie. Put your money to better use!

5.0 out of 5 stars Something new, exciting, and a bit different..., December 22, 2006

This review is from: Restraining Order (DVD)
In Reggie Gaskins' latest film, Restraining Order, you'll get an opportunity to see the works of Robin Givens, as well as the phenomenal performance of Sean Blakemore, who continues to show the world that he has what it takes to bring such a thrilling novel alive. The storyline flowed tremendously well, and as Diane(Robin) tries to separate herself from a marriage that she no longer wants to be in, Dontae(Sean) ain't having it. Like many men who put forth every effort to "take care of home", Dontae is stunned by his wife's sudden non interest and he turns into a crazed individual. A divorce is not an option for him and the story has a tramatic ending, proving that honesty is definitely the best policy. The most enjoyable thing about this movie is the ability to keep the viewer speculating and wondering who the other man is. Once the individual was revealed, it was a shocker and I certainly didn't see it coming. No doubt, this is one to add to your DVD collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR..., February 21, 2007
This review is from: Restraining Order (DVD)
I happened across this one by accident. It was laying on top of the tabloids at the checkout counter in Wal-Mart. Guess someone had doubts and decided not to get it...their loss was definitely my gain. Without a second thought, I added it to my order. No regrets. I'm happy I was able to add this one to my collection.

There's deception, mystery and suspense! Makes you ask yourself...what are you willing to sacrifice in order to get what you "think" you want?

A pleasant surprise. Restraining Order is a must see. I highly recommend this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twisted Love, December 5, 2006
By 
Shelia M Goss (Essence Magazine Best-Selling Author of My Invisible Husband, Delilah, Hollywood Deception and more.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Restraining Order (DVD)
Robin Givens stars in the suspenseful new movie "Restraining Order." Givens plays a distraught wife. When she turns to a male friend for emotional support, all hell breaks lose. You will find yourself involved in the story. Other cast members include Sean Blakemore (plays Given's husband), Reggie Gaskins, N' Bushe Wright, Mari Morrow and James Avery. They all do a great job in bringing the story to life.

With a riveting story line, Restraining Order shows you what happens when someone goes over the edge.

If you're looking for something different and suspenseful, I suggest picking up a copy of "Restraining Order."

3.0 out of 5 stars THIS MOVIE WAS NOT ALL THAT, December 3, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Restraining Order (DVD)
THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WANTS TO LEAVE HER HUSBAND. HER HUSBAND THINKS IT BECAUSE OF ANOTHER MAN. WHEN SHE TELLS HIM SHE WANTS TO LEAVE HIM, HE STARTS TRIPPIN HARD. (SEE THE MOVIE TO SEE WHAT I MEAN). HER HUSBAND IS VERY DRAMATIC. I WOULD NOT WANT A MAN WHO LOVES ME THAT MUCH TO WHEN I TELL HIM ITS OVER AND IM LEAVING, HE CANT TAKE IT. TO ME THIS MOVIE WAS DUMB. I WOULD NOT RECOMMENED ANYONE PAY THERE MONEY TO SEE THIS. SEE IT FOR FREE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Restraining Order, June 9, 2007
This review is from: Restraining Order (DVD)
I purchased Restraining Order as a gift for someone. I haven't seen the movie. She was very pleased! She said that the movie was very good and recommended that I watch as soon as I get a chance. I gave you a rating of 5; because I was pleased with the prompt shipment and especially with the fact that she was really pleased with it.

This review is from: Restraining Order (DVD)
The acting is terrible and the plot is jerky and disconnected; don't waste your money or your time - the "surprise" at the end is not worth it. Remember I told you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh what a H.A.M., April 5, 2007
This review is from: Restraining Order (DVD)
The title of this review is not a reference to the actor's performances. It is an acronym for a hot @zz mess. That pretty much sums up the whole film from start to finish. I watched this with my friend and we were on the floor laughing the whole time at this blunder. The bad editing and writing, horrific acting, and awkward camera angles will have you in stitches. In one shot, it looked like they switched from film to video. Don't get me wrong I knew this film was low budget but come on they could have done better. It seemed as if they had a budget of $20.00 and half of that looked like it was spent on the food. And Robin Givens, sweety, are times really this hard? I would have given you the money to pay your master card bill for the month. To sum up, this movie was a hot lava filled mess
