Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Bereamic Awesome Movie

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

tiffaniblogs The writing was OK, but god I can't get over the terrible acting. The lead actress had a very weak, timid and soft voice that definitely wasn't right for the character. Scenes when she was supposed to raise her voice it seemed like it was barely a whisper. She was supposed to be "bipolar" and a bit "violent" and the way she would touch people when being so called "aggressive" was awkward and like a middle school girl trying to intimidate Laila Ali. The other actors in the movie were good, it was the lead actress Yvonne that was awful. She's like a buck soaking wet and she was able to overpower someone and intimidate them in a disagreement so she can push them down the stairs... Yeah right! SUCKED!

natew3800 I have read the preview information before watching this movie. This movie is misinforming the viewers about those who suffer from bipolar disorder. The villain is supposed to be a young "bipolar woman". First error- people are not Bipolar. They may have Bipolar disorder, but they should not be defined as their disorder. Second, the behaviors that the movie demonstrates as 'Bipolar' are actually characteristic of BPD- Borderline Personality Disorder and ASPD- Anti-Social Personality Disorder. The are similarities between personality disorders like (BPD & ASPD) and mood disorders (Bipolar, SAD, Depression), but the these are not the same disorders. Gillian "the bipolar" is actually portraying serious psychotic behaviors that are typical of BPD & ASPD, but not suffering from bipolar disorder. This movie is horribly misrepresenting all people who have bipolar disorder. It did very effectively stigmatized all who suffer bipolar disorder as psychopaths. Unfortunately the uneducated public will believe this and further their misconceptions towards those with bipolar disorder. If anyone would really like to understand the bipolar disorder or other mood disorders then educate yourselves. There is a vast information base online where you can learn the truth.

mgconlan-1 "The Girl He Met Online" turned out to be surprisingly engaging even though it was very much to the Lifetime formula - one of those in which Christine Conradt was not involved directly but it's clear the people who were have absorbed her plot templates and situations and know how to crank these things out at least as well as the Old Mistress. The directors (plural) were Curtis Crawford (in previous productions he's been Curtis James Crawford) and Anthony Lefresne (though CRAWFORD's name was in BIG LETTERS across the screen and Lefresne's was in tiny type below it) and the credited writer was David DeCrane, but overall it's pretty much a chip off the old Christine Conradt block. When the movie starts we see the girl some poor sap is going to meet online, Gillian Casey (played by Yvonne Zima as a blonde, though otherwise with the same kewpie-doll appeal of Rose MacGowan in the first "Devil in the Flesh" movie from 1998 and Jodi Lyn O'Keefe in the 2000 sequel), trashing the home of her previous boyfriend, spray-painting everything in sight she can't render totally nonfunctional (like his TV - she sprays the letters "TV" behind where it used to be - and his stereo). We get the point immediately: this is a girl that doesn't take rejection well.What's most interesting about "The Girl He Met Online" is that David DeCrane gives Gillian such a hellish background - her real parents died in a car accident when her age was still in the low single digits, and she and her sister Bethany (Tara Spencer-Nairn) were adopted by Agatha Casey (Mary-Margaret Humes), who made it clear to Gillian throughout her childhood that she never loved or cared about her and the only reason she adopted her was she wanted to raise Bethany and the adoption agency insisted that the sisters come as a package deal. Gillian has literally slept her way into a nice job as receptionist with an OB-GYN, Dr. Harris Kohling (Gary Hudson), who insists on her performing sexual services for him whenever his wife is out of town, which seems to be a lot. But that hasn't stopped her from trying to land a rich guy whom she can get to marry her and Take Her Away from All That. Her current target is Andy Collins (Shawn Roberts, at least marginally cuter than most of Lifetime's leading men), who works for a software company founded by his father and managed since dad's death by his mom Susan (Caroline Redekopp), and whose sister Heather (Samantha Madely) is also a major player in the firm. Most of the film is taken up by Gillian's intense pursuit of Andy and her ability to look normal and even genuinely charming when she's on her best behavior, though as the plot progresses the obstacles start to trip her up and writer DeCrane seems to go out of his way to put Gillian in contact with people who can expose the worst sides of her character.What I liked about "The Girl I Met Online" was the writing of Gillian's character - though Curtis Crawford and Anthony Lefresne are hardly in Alfred Hitchcock's league as masters of suspense (nor is DeCrane anywhere nearly as good as the writers Hitchcock used), they do manage to play the double game Hitchcock pulled off in a number of his films: making the villain, if not sympathetic, at least attractive and put-upon enough we're kept hoping he - or, as here, she - will get away with it even as we know his or her actions are evil and she deserves arrest and punishment.

cloverrover96 So, it's about an unstable women named Gillian, who was adopted at young age with her sister. She has troubles with men, clearly meaning she doesn't know how to keep them without scaring them off or beating them. With that said, she's bipolar to the extreme! She lives with her mother who's been recovering from a heart attack and you know right off the bat that there is some very heavy tension and hostility between Gillian and her adopted mother. She decides after a break up with her boyfriends, she searches for another man. She finds a successful man, things at first go smoothly till it spirals downwards as things and people get in her and the relationship way.-I, personally can say for a girl growing up not knowing who she truly is... Not having anything she's very jealous of other women she meets who she thinks have it all... Not a bad movie, it does for some reason keeps you a little interested. I guess it is with a watch!
