TalhotBlond

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.

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.

Ok, 1st, my rating of 3/10 is for the movie, not the story. Earlier today I watched this story on, "Killer in plain sight" & learned that Courtney Cox made a movie about it. & after watching it I found myself feeling the same way I felt when I watched her other movie, "Just before I go" which was boredom. Just before I go had Seann William Scott & Garret Dillahunt (who also played Thomas Montgomery in this film.) For me I feel like I more interested in the tv show version than Courtney's version. They focused too much on Thomas's life. They should've split the story, some about him & some about Brian. & even the woman who started this whole mess... I'd like to know how the woman's daughter Jesse felt about what her mother did. Sharing inappropriate pictures of her to these men? I know this woman's husband divorced her. & the aftermath of Thomas's family & Brian's, the movie would've been better if it focused on the victims instead of Thomas.

Based off a true story (most are) but I remember this case in the news last year. A family is totally turned around when 47 yr old married father of 2 Thomas Montgomery becomes obsessed with a certain chat room and then becomes fixated on a young blond woman/Kate . He develops a keen interest in her too so he pretends he is a 21 year old marine sniper.This online affair last almost a year and then it starts to get out of hand when his wife used his computer and found a couple days worth of chat logs. She confronted her husband and informs this young woman her husband is not who he seems. So both Thomas's relationships are in serious trouble. He cannot seem to stay off of the computer so he signs on and actually again chats with Kate. Kate tells him she intends on seeing a much younger man Brian, a friend of Thomas's. He gets incredibly jealous and then tragedy happens. This is a surreal story of people who cannot separate fantasy from reality and they caused an absolute disaster.

TalhotBlond is a movie where an ordinary man married for 17 years in a normal relationship with two children decides start up an on-line relationship with a teenage girl.

Moral boundaries are crossed which leaves the married man in a predicament he never knew was possible with just on-line chat.

I can't give away anymore of the plot cause if I do I'll spoil the movie for you. But what I will say is that if you're an Internet user (and you have to be if you're reading this review) then you should give TalhotBlond a chance since it's based on a true story and it will leave you speechless once the credits roll.

I give it a 7/10 because some scenes drag a bit and there was a little too much on-line talk throughout. I would have had the dialog of each conversation with a scene showcasing what each person was typing but that's just my opinion, you might not feel that way.
