Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
View MoreSorry, this movie sucks
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
View MoreIt's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
View MoreThis Lifetime movie was unexpectedly well-cast and performed.I found Tracy Spiridakos as an idealistic teenager winsome and convincing in the role, and Jon Cor excelled as an ex-con trying to go straight but thwarted at every turn.The characters were uniformly well-written and conceived. As the mother of a teenage boy, I found Cami's mother and her friend to be realistically conveyed. Teenagers do risky and self-destructive things, creating incredible anxiety in their parents. It's hard for a mom to know how to respond, and this little movie conveys that well. I'll admit the characterization of Jake may have been airbrushed a bit. Would someone who had held up a store and lied to an underage lover really turn out to be as self-sacrificing as this? Maybe I'm gullible, but for me, the fact that Jake puts his life on the line to save Cami and her mom just underscored earlier indications that he wasn't such a bad guy after all. Nicely done.
View MoreThe pitfalls of the internet are well explored in this 2010 film dealing with a high school honor student who meets the guy of her life online, but unknown to her, he is in jail about to be released after being imprisoned for 2 years for stealing.The real sad part of this story is that Jake isn't totally an indecent human being. Spurned by his family, he longs to do something positive in his life, but his conviction holds him back.Cami's life turns upside down when she discovers who he really is. She loves him and near tragedy ensues. The film also questions parental authority when it comes to a 17 year old.While the ending shows that the two still live in two separate worlds, we see there is still hope that Jake can be rehabilitated.
View MoreIn this cable-TV friendly "Lifetime" movie, mature-looking "Mount Raven High School" teenager Tracy Spiridakos (as Cami Winters) has met a computer boyfriend. She thinks handsome Jon Cor (as Jake Meyers) is a college athlete, but he's really in prison. When Mr. Cor gets out on probation, he hooks up with his pretty computer date, but doesn't tell her about his arresting past. And, she doesn't tell him she's seventeen. The attractive couple carry on an affair with naughty, knowing secrecy...Meanwhile, Spiridakos has "generation gap" problems with sexy single mother Alexandra Paul (as Tori), who doesn't approve of her daughter dating an ex-convict. Mama Paul and gal-pal Thea Grill (as Kendra Oliver) like to sit on tables and show off their legs. Cor and well-coiffed cell-mate Eddie Guillaume (as Dewayne Jackson) look like they paid frequent visits to the prison hairstylist. As a sleek crook who lures Cor into crime, Tim Finnigan (as Edgar Holly) steals admittedly meager acting honors.**** The Boy She Met Online (7/28/10) Curtis Crawford ~ Tracy Spiridakos, Jon Cor, Alexandra Paul, Tim Finnigan
View MoreThis Lifetime Channel Movie is a potentially interesting story of a modern variation of a middle-class concern: who is your teenage daughter's boyfriend? In this case, as the title clearly indicates, she met him online. And as it becomes apparent in the first three minutes, he's not just a stranger, he's actually a prison inmate.Unfortunately, while the idea is interesting, this movie is not. The dialogue may be realistic, but it is not interesting to listen to teenagers giggle. The lighting is the same in every scene, lots of side-lighting, but it's just as bright during the day scenes as the night scenes. And the score is intrusive, overwrought and annoying.If there is a real problem with this movie, it's that there is no modulation. Lighting, music, whiny teenage angst, every scene is at the same level. Usually when I watch TV movies, I tend to concentrate on the show and fast-forward through the commercial. Here I was strongly tempted to reverse the sequence.
