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.

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.
awab_avril 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.
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.
