What if this is As Good As It Gets?

That is a pretty good review based on the commercial, but the commercial only gives you a superficial feel for the elements at play. I actually watched the film, and this is how it went down (SPOILERS):

The life of delusional psychopath Sabrina (of teen witch fame) is falling apart. Her narcissism won’t allow her to accept the fact that she is a complete failure, and she turns to violent crime to regain her sense of power and self-worth. The unlucky target of her twisted aims, the host of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, is kidnapped at gunpoint and taken as a trophy to show off at a family Christmas gathering. We quickly learn that Sabrina’s family is just as demented as she is. Their feigned obliviousness to the victim’s plight wreaks havoc on his mental state, and the constant threat of a tortuous death begins to wear down his will to resist. The story really takes off after the kidnapped host’s multiple failed escape attempts. His final descent from strained sanity to total psychosis is riveting for the viewer, and we can only guess what is really going on behind his jittery smiles and darting eyes. Is his compliance a ploy to stay alive long enough to exact bloody revenge? Is he so psychologically damaged that he will really leave his loving fiancé for his monstrous abductor and her warped family? Does he really like playing football in the snow? You have to watch to the end to find out!
