Bryant spends most of his time taking care of his daughter, and working as an exec at an ad agency. But when he comes across the online profile for a woman in Los Angeles, he becomes intrigued. She’s beautiful, fun, quirky, and successful. They strike up a long-distance relationship traveling back and forth for several months before Bryant decides that she is the perfect woman for him. He proposes, she moves across the country, and within two more months, the couple is married. But this union is a far cry from newlywed bliss.

SunnyHello Nice effects though.
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
America America "Cinema is the ultimate pervert art, it doesn't give you what you desire-- it tells you how to desire" -Slavoj Ziezek Crawford's attempt at a post-modern pre-neo-industrial post-structural meta-narrative works to critique the ever overarching sentiments of twenty first century nihilism in a post-captitalistic state. We meet our protagonist, Bryant, as he navigates an existential angst of the hegemonically constructed socialistic norms of love, lust and didactic sexuality. This film is a great look into society as a whole and works as a great narrative to discuss mental health issues. From the way the entire plot is carried out seamlessly to the more technical aspects of the filmography, this film is absolutely fantastic. Crawford's use of camera angles and the low-key lighting gives it a classic film noire feel that matches Carol Reed's The Third Man. Then the plot... oh my God... it is incredible, there was not a single moment in the entire film where I was not holding my breath and not on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this film that is bound to be a neo-classic. Lifetime films has truly outdone themselves this time.
ilania_a 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.
PrincessPeachx 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.
edwagreen 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.
