Admirable film.
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Handsome, wealthy and well-built Cameron Mathison (as Bryant Meyers) is having problems meeting women. Yes, you read that correctly. Amicably divorced, Mr. Mathison lives in Philadelphia and shares custody of his ten-year-old daughter with ex-wife Cynthia Preston (as Virginia). None of that really explains why Mathison must turn to online dating; possibly, he likes to fantasize. On his laptop, Mathison meets attractive Sydney Penny (as Georgia). Although she lives in Los Angeles, they begin an online relationship. Their first physical meeting goes extraordinarily well. They end up satisfied, under the sheets. Marriage quickly follows, but Ms. Penny reveals a jealous side...This is one of several "Lifetime" TV movies portraying the dangers of meeting people online...Written by Christine Conradt and directed by Curtis Crawford, it follows familiar territory and is competently made. Neatly trimmed Mathison and pouting Penny are nicely matched. She gives an occasional crazy edge to her saner scenes and he adds an adult immaturity to aid in accepting his character. Little Emily Burley (as Megan) may be developmentally delayed, which is a nice touch. There is good support, especially from Krista Bridges (as Zenya Ivanski). She and director Crawford let us know much about "Zenya" while spilling cocktails with Mathison. Crawford keeps the camera steady and gives us great shots of table and counter tops. However, the ending is tacky.***** The Wife He Met Online (4/21/12) Curtis Crawford ~ Sydney Penny, Cameron Mathison, Cynthia Preston, Krista Bridges
I must say this is a very great movie to watch when you are just bored or want to be entertained by a non-crazy movie. This film is about a woman who gets married and becomes jealous of her husband's co-worker and their relationship years ago. Georgia, the main character, met her future husband online and later tells him about her crazy past and mom. It's really nice to see the tension build up minute by minute. I was not bored in any moment while watching, which is weird because I get bored or uninterested pretty easily with "plain looking" films. The energy never left me and I was hooked the whole time. You might be surprised that Georgia actually is so jealous that she kills her husband's co-worker. It's a great film to see anytime. Although you might forget about it a couple days later, and it's not anything compared to big-budget movies, (I think it is a Lifetime movie), it's enjoyable and interesting!
For the people rating it "1" and saying it sucks... IT'S A LIFETIME MOVIE!!!!!!! None of their movies have spectacular plots, or acting, or direction. That's just the Lifetime standard. Once you realize that you're not going to be watching an Oscar-winner, you can learn to enjoy their movies.This movie is entertaining for what it is. There were no shocks. Or suspense (though it was meant to convey both). The plot was predictable, especially the ending. But it was fun to watch for 90 minutes. If you need something to entertain yourself for a few hours, this movie, along with the rest of the Lifetime film catalog, will do the trick. Just don't expect too much, okay?The movie is about a single man and woman who join a dating website to find love. They eventually find it in each other, though she lives in LA and he lives in Philadelphia. After going on a few dates, they fall in love and decide to get married; their wedding and "love story" is so highly coveted a film crew from the site films their wedding. We learn the man has a daughter, and holds a close relationship with his ex-wife and her new husband. Soon after the two move in together, the new wife begins having hallucinations and showing extreme, possessive jealously towards every single woman in her husband's life, even if they have no romantic connection.Soon things escalate, leading to a final showdown, which again... wasn't a shocker. It was actually a bit of a letdown.I gave this movie a 6/10 because, like I said before, it is what it is: a Lifetime film. If you've watched one Lifetime movie, you will know what to expect from this one.
I would have rated this film even more if it were not for the cop-out ending where this horror would befall some other guy.A meeting via the internet and 2 or 3 meetings joins a divorced guy from Philadelphia with a woman from Los Angeles. Love supposedly blossoms and the two are married very fast.The story evolves around the woman's insanity. Obsessed with the idea that all men invariably cheat on her, her obsession leads to violence and ultimate murder. She was definitely insecure with a mentally sick mother from childhood.I found it amazing that the guy who fell in was such a nice guy. It's hard to believe that he was unable to resolve his marital difficulties with his first wife. Guess, you just never know.
