The Husband She Met Online (2013 TV Movie) User Reviews

Surprisingly decent for a Lifetime Movie

[Geeky Randy · 6/10 · 7 May 2014]

After breaking up with cheating boyfriend and co-worker Watson, Philadelphian hotel event planner Monroe tries online dating and meets charming businessman Gray-Stanford, who seems perfect at first but soon shows signs of being an obsessive and controlling maniac capable of murder. Surprisingly decent for a Lifetime Movie, with Monroe's few foolish missteps never causing the viewer to roll their eyes, and Gray-Stanford actually delivering some legit chills for even the most seasoned thriller-buffs. Runyan and Lake play some very interesting supporting characters, a rarity in this type of mystery, but unfortunately the movie's rushed ending don't do their roles justice.

Smart Woman, Foolish Behavior

[wes-connors · 4/10 · 7 January 2014]

Before the opening credits end, an ominous and unexplained grave is dug for an unknown victim. Next, we meet sharply-figured hotel "event coordinator" Meredith Monroe (as Rachel Malemen). Although she is busy, Ms. Monroe finally hooks up with "The Husband She Met Online" as predicted in the title. He turns out to be wealthy and charming, but very sneaky Jason Gray-Stanford (as Craig Miller). Too bad hard-working Monroe has no time to watch "Lifetime" TV Movies, or she world recognize Mr. Gray-Stanford's type immediately. He turns out to be very "controlling." Also involved is Gray-Stanford's mysterious brother Damon Runyan (as Ryan Miller) and their real estate tycoon mom Mimi Kuzyk (as Doris Miller). This TV Movie is no bore, but both the lead character and viewer are way too hip for the script.

This Movie Needs to be watched and given credit for this plot and details

[texasjetman · 7/10 · 1 March 2015]

Well, after reading the other three reviews I had to say, that this movie was very well written for the parts portrayed, very well acted for the most parts and the story was followed very well, I am quite shocked it did not receive a better review when released but that often more than not is timing and how much money they have to promote and produce it, I hate to also bring that to the attention to details, please never skimp on details as this movie did quite well in details the burial plot at the beginning leaves us wondering what is going on for awhile but then is denoted by detectives, If you are going to say in the movie that your are taking the companies private jet, do NOT refer to a Falcon Jet as a Learjet, the companies Learjet would no only not make the trip to Greece without fuel starvation, the Falcon Jet you actually depicted in the movie could very well make the trip, Just something experts in the industry will see and note that if you are going to make a movie make it right, The acting was done well, the extra's and casting for extras also done quite well in my opinion, the movie needs to be given more of a rating that its now given.

Another Pitfall of Online Dating...Husband She Met Online ***

[edwagreen · 7/10 · 7 November 2013]

Highly predictable film where a woman meets a man online and immediately consents to marry him. The radical change in his behavior comes out as she is literally kidnapped, terrorized and forced into a marriage with him.

It was not clear what the two brothers had in store for their very wealthy, but domineering mother in this film.

Of course, there has been past problems with this guy, including a private investigator hired to find out where his missing daughter is. Seems that the victim was dating our wealthy guy.

There is always the friend who is sympathetic and yet knows that something is going on. Ditto for the guy's family-his sister- in-law is suspicious of her husband's behavior and rightfully so.

The Trophy Wife

[lavatch · 8/10 · 11 January 2020]

Craig Miller will stop at nothing to impress Rachel Maleman. He will rent an entire restaurant for a private candlelit dinner. He will pay for a street magician to pull out a ring out of an empty tube that leads to a marriage proposal. But he also will kill to possess Rachel that makes him the fiancé from hell whom she met online.

At heart, Craig is a mama's boy, a fact that his ex-girlfriend Dominique Ranton realized too late. Craig enlisted his kid brother Ryan to help him murder Dominique, after she recognized the dark side of Craig. And Craig is ready to murder again in order attain his trophy wife, especially when Rachel's old beau John gets in the way. When the matriarch mother agrees to the match, Craig and Ryan are hoping that she will turn the keys to their corporation over to them.

Craig's ex Dominique accused him of "commitment phobia," which was another way of referring to the sickness of Craig's jealousy and obsessive compulsive nature. He wants to please mama. But, in the process, he is turning Rachel into a possession, his plaything who will always be on display. It is the wily private detective, Jerry Berman, who sniffs out the evidence of Craig's checkered past to help get to the bottom of things.

There was an adorable dog named Cody, who was caught up in the maelstrom of Craig's psychotic behavior. But Cody will play one of the key roles in alerting Rachel's bestie, Laura, to the predicament she is in, when Craig handcuffs her to the bed, then kidnaps her. Forced into marriage through blackmail, Rachel seems to be heading to her "honeymoon" in Belize, prior to the heroics of Cody.

There was an interesting set of characters in "The Husband She Met Online." But the central catalyst for the action was mama's "little puppet" Craig, whose true colors slowly emerge for Rachel. Despite the melodrama, the film took the audience on a roller coaster ride in the relationship of Craig and Rachel that went from euphoria to heartbreak to hell.

Mad Love

[kapelusznik18 · 7/10 · 24 November 2015]

***SPOILERS*** Looking for love in the wrong places pretty smart and a bit naive hotel event planner Rachel Maleman-not Mailman-played by Meredith-not Marilyn-Monroe falls for someone she got in touch with on an internet dating site the lovable at first-by creepy later-Craig Miller, Jason Gary Stanford. Craig is looking for a woman to be his wife that would satisfy his very demanding momma Tasha Miller,Cinthia Burke, who only wants the best for her boy who manages her far flung real-estate empire.

At first everything is groovy between the two love birds until Rachel's ex-boyfriend John Anderson,Brett Watson, comes on the scene asking her to get together with him. Eeven though Rachael only treats John like a friend not lover that sets Craig off to the point of jumping the gun in that he gets his weak willed and momma's boy brother Ryan, Damon Runyan, to do the guy in hit-man style before Rachael can tell him that it's all over between the two. It's in fact tough private detective Jerry Berman, Bill Lake, who's been tracking this dangerous nut-case for over two years in a missing person or murder case of Craig's former girlfriend in Philadelphia who cracks the case wide open. And that causes Craig to flip out and, to the shock of everyone watching, expose himself.

****SPOILERS**** With the truth out about him Craig instead of checking out to South America and getting lost, before the police arrest him, plans to force Rachael, who's now completely under his control, to marry him before he ends up behind bars or, if resisting arrest, worse! The ending at the airport has to be seen to be believed with Craig having a gun to his bride Rachael's head with the police as well as PI Berman trying to stop him from both killing her and checking out of town or the country. As things turned out the only place that Craig ended up checking into was the county morgue!

Psycho husband!

[haroot_azarian · 17 July 2021]

For a smart independent working woman Rachel was an idiot to be so quickly drawn into a whirlwind romance, missing all the warning signs in the process! Craig the psycho got what he deserved in the end. Let us hope his brother also paid for covering for hos brother and also killing Rachel's ex!!!!
