This is definitely one for Lifetime movie fans, and I mean that in the best possible way! It is a movie that is pretty simple, yet still very relevant today with our heavy dependency on social media and the whole "catfishing" phenomena. It could easily be rebooted to fit today's world with internet. That said, this movie kept me entertained the entire time. It is about a mother who got pregnant by a man who abandoned her. Since that traumatic experience she decides to be cold to men and forbids her 14 year old daughter from dating. The teenage girls in this film are obsessed with older men (the guys all look to be 30 or so), and do odd stalkerish stuff. Like breaking and entering and snapping photos without consent. YeAh. It is pretty weird. Anyway, Lisa is obsessed with Richard (who is actually hot), and follows him all over town and calls him anonymously. They form a relationship over the phone and she convinces him that she is her mother. Long story short, dude is a sexy psycho killer and stalks her mom and tries to murder both of them like his previous victims. This film is a reminder that hot dudes will kill you if they are messed up, same as ugly guys. I liked this movie, but one thing I found odd was how they keep trying to paint Cheryl Ladd as a young mother. She looks close to middle age. Maybe they should have gotten an actress about 8 or 9 years younger. She just looked to me like any other mother raising a 14 year old. Not close in age at all, as they obviously intended.
