The Wife He Met Online Trailers

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.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

"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.

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.
