From thequickflickcritic.blogspot.com/
"talhotblond" is a passable made for television docudrama account of a tragic and bizarre 2005 case of fabricated internet identities and murderous jealousy.
Courteney Cox does an adequate job of directing the mostly uninspired(ing) cast (the former "Friends" star also co-produced and appears in her film, which Cox reportedly shot over just 16 days), with Garret Dillahunt (Fox TV's "Raising Hope") emerging as the most commendable of the bunch. Dillahunt is suitably creepy as a mild-mannered middle-aged Midwest husband and father who comes completely unhinged with obsession over an online persona he knows only as "talhotblond", whom he believes to be a teenage girl.
Really, can anything good possibly come of this?
Yeah, it could have been better. But if you've seen any measure of flicks fully fashioned for the tube, then you have almost undoubtedly seen way worse.

Interesting story that will leave you shaking your head. Great twist at the end. Not too many gaffes. Decent acting.
I loved this movie. You keep waiting to see just how low he would sink before he loses his mind...just how far he would go with this girl... I couldn't stop watching.Courtney Cox directing this movie is another surprise. There are some people in Hollywood who have so much talent if only we would give them the chance to shine.Garret Dillahunt is excellent as the star of this movie also I felt sorry for him and sick at him at the same time. they caught me after a while where I think everything is getting back into control and the natural order of things will be restored. But nope soon as I think well the movie is about to end its all spinning out of control again. I love it. Love the rhythm of the movie and the camera angles made it seem as if someone was always looking over Dillahunt shoulders and spying on him. and it turns out that spy is us the viewers.

Super good movie and without giving anything away, there is one moment during this film that has an enormous shock.
The story is about a middle aged married guy who gets on line and meets a much younger woman with whom he becomes infatuated with, leading to all sorts of consequences.
This picture is apparently based on true events.
The lead actor gives a compelling performance, and he and the rest of the cast are very convincing.
The story also examines what problems can arise from on line dating.
A hugely entertaining and thought provoking film!
8/10

Seen this a few times & although.. He ultimately commits murder,don't blame him for looking elsewhere.
His wife talked to and treated him like a child,seemed he was carrying too much & finally snapped.. Everytime she(wife)said his name,it made me cringe.. Anybody else?
Some might feel how can I say this? Although based on a true movie,probably many facts might of been glossed over.. Plus he as well,got lied to by someone.
Again.. doesn't justify several things,but room for understanding & healing should be considered.
This movie was cast & acted decent,as well cinematography was done with quality.
Is it worth checking out? Yes! A better Lifetime production.
