* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: It's implied Lisa did this to a drugged Derek, but nothing explicit is shown.

Successful businessman Derek Charles (Creator/IdrisElba) is doing very well for himself. He has a beautiful wife (Knowles), an adorable son, and his family and he have just moved into their first house together. But after meeting an office temp named Lisa (Ali Larter) on the way to his office, it soon becomes clear that his wife is not the only woman with feelings for him, and the harmless flirting of a crush quickly becomes quite a bit more serious than anyone expected.

-->'''Lisa:''' Do it. Hit me. You can do anything you want to me.\\

* AxCrazy

* BlondesAreEvil: Perhaps a bit of TruthInTelevision regarding the perception of the demographic being targeted by the film, as it plays on the racial tension specifically between black women and white women over black males (some may recall a scene from ''Save the Last Dance'' that addresses this perception more directly).

A 2009 thriller/drama directed by Steve Shill and starring Music/{{Beyoncé}} in her first serious role that doesn't relate to music.

** YMMV, but Derek is right on the line. There are several points in this movie where he could have stopped the problem with Lisa or at least have salvaged things with his wife before they got so out of hand.

** You can also count the scene when Sharon and Derek come back home from celebrating New Year's and Derek opens his email, only to find [[spoiler:pictures of Lisa wearing seductive clothing and "See you next year" type under her. Oh, by the way, Derek thought that Lisa decided to leave him alone prior to this event.]]

** JerkassHasAPoint: He recognizes before Derek does that Lisa wants him. Derek is just too [[GoodIsDumb "nice"]] not to see it. Not helping is the fact that, yes, he did lead Lisa on.

** DevotedToYou: Derek is probably the most loyal husband a woman could ask for. He never gives into Lisa's advances or his colleges' pressuring.

* CaptainErsatz / ClicheStorm / {{Plagiarism}}: This movie is, uh, kind of maybe a wee bit deriative of ''{{Audition}}'', ''Film/FatalAttraction'', ''{{Film/Misery}}'' and ''Film/PlayMistyForMe''.

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale: A large source of Lisa's manipulative power in the film, along with people around him questioning if he [[AllMenArePerverts might have lead her on]].

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: It's implied Lisa did this to a drugged Derek, but nothing explicit is shown.

A 2009 thriller/drama directed by Steve Shill and starring BeyoncéKnowles in her first serious role that doesn't relate to music.

* [[HeyItsThatGuy Hey, It's That Guy!]]
** {{Sliders}} fans will quickly recognize Quinn Mallory, more accurately Jerry O'Connell.
** Bruce [=McGill=] (Joe Gage) often plays supporting roles and has been in the business for quite some time.

* MamaBear: Sharon Charles when you try to break up her family and especially if you touch her son.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Sharon Charles when you try to take her man.

* CaptainErsatz / ClicheStorm / {{Plagiarism}}: This movie is, uh, kind of maybe a wee bit deriative of ''{{Audition}}'', ''Film/FatalAttraction'', ''{{Misery}}'' and ''Film/PlayMistyForMe''.

** VagueAge: The Charles' son. The boy is clearly a toddler, Sharon mentioned at the beginning that he was two, yet he doesn't speak a word throughout the film (not even baby talk) and Sharon later mentioned that he was conceived after Derek came home after ''last year's Christmas party'' drunk.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Though, one might question if this was a genuine desire to die, or a desperate wanting of attention]].

* LadyInRed: Lisa, first with a trench coat, then later with a dress. Also hinted at with her pair of red-soled Louboutin pumps.

'''Patrick:''' Yeah or straight.

-->'''Ben:''' She grabbed your package, flashed you in your car... Come on Derek, I thought we were best friends. [Smirking] I cannot believe you didn't tell me ''sooner!''\\
'''Derek:''' And you think think this is funny?\\
'''Ben:''' ''Yes!'' I do!

* HappilyMarried: Derek and Sharon, despite the few bumps in the road.
