Pretty Good
Great Film overall
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
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
Somehow, this average film captivated me and I watched the whole length of it. The name of the film relates to the life of many unattached people nowadays – cyberspace dating! So perhaps it should be viewed before venturing into a relationship based on e-mail and Skype, without actual networking, family or school connections. There is romance in this film but it is not a "You Got Mail" or "Restless in Seattle" either. I was intrigued because it was made in Canada, with many Canadian Actors, thus far seen on TV soaps, or Dancing with the Stars, or some horror movies, in short – unknowns. But the acting was good. There is a plot that moves along, and at the end there is an odd moment when Bryant receives a package from the on-line dating company congratulating the two correspondents wishing them a good life together. What was a bit unbelievable are the excellent relations between the ex-wife and her new husband and the ex-husband .somehow it does not seem that real. I was impressed by the costume designs by Andy Tait, Georgia in particular was beautifully attired throughout the film.
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!
Look I can't give it a one star (or less rating) because I haven't finished but I watched most of it and couldn't finish it. This is very unusual for me because I almost always finish movies but this one had no thrill or mystery it was just annoying to me honestly. The main female actress does a great job acting all psycho and annoying. I don't know maybe other people could disagree with me but I just didn't like it at all. The little girl was an awful young actress. I am not trying to be harsh or mean but she just didn't act well. I must admit that I was surprised with a few details that I won't mention so I wont spoil the movie for you if you are planning to watch it but these little details were not crucial in the movie as the story develops. Over all the movie isn't really that bad but it is not the type of movie that I like. I like suspense and thrill and this one just didn't have it that much. Instead it fits drama more.
