	Erotomania
		The erotomaniac tends to begin with simple, subtle expressions of affection to reach the object of his/her desire which later spirals out of control and can lead to expressions of anger, rage, frusteration and violence when such gestures go ignored and the victims continues to assert lack of interest.
		In the case of my stalker, Louise attributed her ex-husband (my boyfriend) taking a restraining order out against her to a belief that somehow I was behind the scenes manipulating him to do so in order to keep him from "recognizing his love for her" and "going back to her".
		Returning to the case of my stalker, Louise believed the act of my boyfriend taking a restraining order out against her was somehow indicative of encouragement to continue to call and visit him and so she did continue, persisting even after countless arraignments, community service and jail time.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Object of My Affection
		Cranky usually makes no reference to the Source Material, the novel by Stephen McCauley, but in this case he had a strong feeling that the true object of the original novel was the "he," of the story and not the "she".
		All the romance is on the wrong side of the gender line in this flick which, had it been made 10 years ago, would have won raves from card carrying liberals for refusing to push sexual stereotypes; for showing people as people, having the same fears and feelings of loneliness, regardless of sexual preference.
		The Object of My Affection isn't funny enough to distract you, indeed this "breeder" sitting in a mixed crowd felt culturally-challenged when the jokes touched on specific gay topics.

	Vault 1 - Review: The Object of My Affection
		Amo Gulinello, making his film debut as Paul, the object of George's affection, is perhaps the weakest player in the cast.
		Hawthorne brings an old-world charm and a touch of class to the proceedings, and although he appears late in the film, his is the one performance amongst the supporting cast that threatens to overshadow the leads.
		It is the many moments like these in the film which make "The Object of My Affection" something memorably real and heartbreaking.

		About two thirds into "Object of My Affection" three of the central characters attend a performance of "Romeo and Juliet." The production is a postmodern, post-structural, new age, new wave, beautiful-people piece of claptrap.
		Romeo is also the object of Hawthorne's affection, but that fact doesn't get in the way of his brain.
		So, like the characters in the film watching Shakespeare, you need to be fond of the cast members to really the "Object of my Affection." If not, you may find this to be a ridiculous collection of conveniences and stereotypes that only just hold together as a plot.

	Nigel Hawthorne : Films : The Object of My Affection
		Adapted for film from Stephen McCauley's 1987 novel by the Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein, The Object of My Affection transcends the potential gimmickry of its gay theme to become a sincere survey of unrequited love.
		"One shouldn't be too hard on oneself when the object of one's affection returns the favour with rather less enthusiasm than one might have hoped." Nigel Hawthorne is an older, caustic theater critic who's in love, and coincidentally provides board for, the young actor that George finds himself falling in love with.
		He recognizes a kindred soul in Nina, suffering from unrequited love, and tenderly warns her to not fix her life so that she's alone when she reaches the middle of it.

		It was only a decade ago that Stephen McCauley published his first novel, The Object of My Affection, and startled his readers by having his gay protagonist, George, move in with a flaky Brooklyn social worker, Nina, and agree to be a father to her unborn child.
		For The Object of My Affection, she has invented an entirely new cast of supporting characters, but they add little that anyone other than a development executive could think this story needs.
		Compare The Object of My Affection with that grisly sitcom tearjerker As Good as It Gets, in which James L. Brooks manages to generate an emotionally compelling movie out of a situation that has nothing--nada--to do with any reality I know of.

		But as George becomes her object of affection, Nina is forced to question whether a deep, meaningful relationship is possible when there is no hope of passionate sex.
		The Object of My Affection has been cleverly adapted for the screen from a Stephen McCauley novel by the highly regarded Wendy Wasserstein.
		The Object of My Affection is an appealing, bittersweet romantic comedy that cleverly explores what sex, love, romance and friendship have in common -- and what they don't.

		You remind my heart of the distant past, and I am sorry that I weep before you.
		In my home country, from which I regretfully fled under duress and with many tears, I was trusted, also, by a young man who wore a uniform of authority, and who, I must admit, fancied the place where I hide my key.

	SPLICEDwire: "The Object of My Affection" review
		Rupert Everett aced the role in "My Best Friend's Wedding," but Greg Kinnear beat him out for an Oscar nomination by putting on limp-wristed airs in "As Good As It Gets." Kevin Kline sat on the sexuality fence post in "In and Out" until Tom Selleck planted a big smooch on him.
		As a direct result, this week comes "The Object of My Affection," starring Jennifer Aniston as a social worker with man problems and Paul Rudd as -- you guessed it -- her asexual gay best friend.
		As it is, however, "The Object of My Affection" is like a semi-dramatic "In and Out" without The Kiss.

		In my opinion, it isn’t the blessings that God has given, it is when we take those possessions and put all of our thoughts, our hope and our peace into them that they become perverse in God’s sight.

	Review: Object of My Affection, The (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Object of My Affection, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen McCauley, is a pleasant romantic comedy that asks (and tries to answer) questions about the nature of love, sex, family, and friendship.
		And, while some of the solutions are a little facile, the film nevertheless succeeds, due in large part to a luminous performance by Jennifer Aniston and the effectively-developed central relationship between Aniston's Nina Borowski, a pregnant twentysomething heterosexual, and George Hanson (Paul Rudd), a gay man in the same age range.
		The Object of My Affection is clearly better because of her, not in spite of her.

		Two romantic comedies currently in release, The Object of My Affection and Sliding Doors, each employ a twist that gives its film a certain uniqueness, but in both cases the gimmicks work.
		Although he appears to have some genuine fondness for Helen, he is on the whole an unappealing character, making the story of Helen "A" less vibrant and involving than the "B" tale, which is highlighted by Hannah's delightfully witty James.
		Ultimately, however, the effectiveness of The Object of My Affection and Sliding Doors is not due to the gimmicks themselves but the filmmakers who use them with care, intelligence, and style.

		Despite these flaws, "The Object of My Affection" still has some entertainment value and a couple of interesting scenes, even if it`s just another average movie.

		he Object of My Affection" is not the delightful romantic comedy that the previews would have you believe.
		Up until this point, "Object" seems to appeal to that most retrograde and false of fantasies-that the love of a good woman is all that is needed to convert a guy from the Pink Team back to the Blue Team.
		The viewpoint may not be exactly fresh, but Wasserstein, while tweaking the prophets of tolerance, delivers the heartfelt message that, male or female, gay or straight, fl or white, old or young, the important thing is to pick some one person and make it work.

		Alda's is the kind of line and "The Object of My Affection" is exactly the kind of movie "Seinfeld's" creators had in mind when they came up with the rejoinder, "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
