I won't say that #Popfan was a complete waste of time since actress Chelsea Kane who plays a doppleganger of Brittney Spears is decent as the young and hot singer/songwriter hostage Ava Maclaine. I can't say the same for her captor Xavier (Nolan Gerard Funk) who just was not believable as the lighthouse keeper/kidnapper and ex marine of a young and hot pop singer. It may sound strange but Xavier just did not come off as a crazy enough pop fan who would hold a young woman hostage while pretending to be her hero saving the female teen pop star from a crash and burn sportscar during a severe storm.The cat and mouse game between captor Xavier and the unwilling/unknowing pop star prisoner Ava was more like a much weaker version of James Caan and Kathy Bates in the 1990 film Misery. Now Misery was a real thriller and #Popfan was more of a letdown except for Chelsea Kane's decent portrayal of an abductee under duress.I give this film a 4 out of 10 rating based mainly on Chelsea Kane's decent performance, otherwise my rating would be lower.

For anyone thinking of watching this movie let me save you some time of your precious life to consider another movie instead. The movie lacks interesting characters and the way most events play out is not believable at all. There are a lot of inconsistencies and in truth things just don't make any sense. If your any way a logical thinker this movie will really annoy you with how events unfold. Without spoiling anything if your looking for a movie that won't challenge you much or give your brain food for logical thought and you just want to pass time this might be for you, even though there are better options available.

Another over zealous fan movie is depicted here. We saw this in Kathy Bates' Oscar winning performance with James Caan in "Misery." We also saw this in the film "The Fan" with Lauren Bacall and Maureen Stapleton.Naturally, our "fan" here is a gasoline attendant, a war veteran who has problems, severe problems emotionally. He rescues a brat of a star who basically doesn't know what she wants and brings her to his abode where he begins to terrorize her. To say that she gets what's coming to her is to put it mildly; even though tragedy ensues when her rejected boyfriend and manager try to locate her.Does it have to take a tragedy for our heroine to come back down to earth?

I decided to give this movie a shot because I watch Baby Daddy (which Chelsea Kane is on) and thought Nolan Funk was quite hilarious as Hunter on Glee. I have never ever put any type of theatrical high standard for lifetime movies, but this is still pretty average on the totem pole. Without giving anyway any spoilers, lets just say that there are quite a few plot holes and inconsistencies which will have you going "really?" (not unlike other lifetime movies, though, but still). I could tell that the actors were trying really hard to commit to their roles but the dialogue (especially at points that were supposed to be creepy and disturbing) was actually quite comical sometimes. Luckily it wasn't completely horrible and I was able to make it through the entire thing. It's like they were trying to reach a younger crowd with the random mentions of former Disney/nick teen pop stars...miley, selena, and "Ari" (lol what??) but then the rest of the movie was pretty adult themed, not like R rated but if i had a teenager I probably would watch this first before letting them watch it. i couldn't help but wonder if they were taking a dig at the stereotypical "child star grows up" story but i suppose that's for another thread. I give it 5 stars for not being great, but not being truly terrible either. The plot is pretty uninspired, the script lets down the actors and by the time the movie was over i wasn't even really invested in any of the characters to care about their fates....but again, this is a lifetime movie, so you should already know what you're getting into.
