Boy, was he dumb!

At the end he finds out who he's been talking to and fantasizing over and it turns out to be the teenager's not-so-gorgeous mother. I mean, think about it, all this time, he thought he was in love with an 18-year-old girl, when the girl never even knew him. And his wife is asking him, Am I not tall or hot or blonde enough? Trust me, wife, when he finds out the truth, he's gonna wish he never cheated on you. Compared to the real talhotblond, your wife's the much better catch. I laughed when I found out the truth. Here's a man pretending to be something he's not trying to make out to a woman who's pretending to be something she's not. This has been going on even before the Internet was invented. It's like Sinbad said in Jingle All The Way, "This is a sick world we're living in! Sick people!"

I actually got a little mad at him. He was lying about himself and then he got all mad because the person he was talking to online was lying too? The detective that arrested him was totally right, he's the only one who was lying? Ha!

Yes, everything he felt was based on a lie. He committed murder, destroyed his marriage, and is now serving a prison sentence all because of a girl who never existed to begin with.

Hmmm...you might want to watch the movie again. The girl did indeed exist!! He just wasn't talking to her.

[–] DarcyBrandon 12 years ago

Well what I meant was that he created a fantasy of who the girl he was talking to was but she ended up being fake because while it was the daughter's picture, the actual real person was someone he didn't even know. To sum it up, they were both liars.

There was a law and order episode based on this, and I didnt even realize the connection until we found out it was the mother and not the daughter.

I have chills. Creeeeeepy.

What was the law and order episode? The original law and order or one of the others? Do you know who was in it? I saw an episode of Csi : Miami that was similar but that one the young guy was still alive and he killed the middle aged man.

I was expecting it to be some big hairy biker dude or some family man like himself with a reverse fantasy, until they talked on the phone. Then I thought it was legit (or at least a girl), then it turned out to be the mom. Not a badly executed twist, but he was just dumb from the beginning. Always listen to Sinbad.

@pj72 WOW using a Sinbad line from the film Jingle All The Way.

I think I may be inlove.

Oh wait scratch that. Sounds too talhotblond like.

You don't know me.
You only think you do.

At first I thought it might be a man he was posting to, then I actually thought it might be his wife!

That ending was too quick (and what the hell DID those ending 'paragraphs' say???)

But not a bad entry; this was more like the old-school Lifetime movies I loved.
They were a guilty pleasure.

"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

I thought sure it was Brian Barrett messing with him with the rest of the poker guys being given the play-by-play.

We are the coup, you idiot!

Both he and Katie's mother were disturbed. I did like the twist though, that he was playing Katie while he was getting played in return. And it was creepy that they said her mom was never charged with anything and is probably still out there on the internet, looking for young boys. Definitely one of the better Lifetimes movies in my opinion.

I sometimes don't read the bottom of posts because I think it's a signature.
