You won't be disappointed!

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The film didn't pretend to be anything other than an entertaining "guilty pleasure" flic. The focus is on an extremely troubled young woman, prone to rage, violence, and murder. Her relationships begin well, but go sour when her "mean streak" begins to emerge.Actress Yvonne Zima is excellent as the lead, and she carries the film with a multi-dimensional performance. Her character Gillian Casey builds quite a resume of destructive acts against her partners, who are often sleazy characters like her boss, Dr. Harris Kohling, who has made Gillian his mistress.The main plot unfolds when Gillian meets a decent and successful young man on the internet. As the drama unfolds, the major question will be whether Gillian can navigate her way to success with a man who truly adores her.Beyond many cliché elements, such as a string of accidental encounters, the film's most memorable character is Gillian's mother, as performed by Mary-Margaret Humes. The mother was sensitive and caring, yet was constantly on the receiving end of the bitterness and anger of her adopted daughter. Due to Humes' performance, this was a character and a relationship that the audience could really care about. So, the major surprise of the film was a strong interest and development of a mother-daughter relationship.Originally titled "The Girl He Met Online," the film has been re-titled "MSF: Male Seeking Female" for release on DVD. For a low-budget, made-for-television drama, the film was above average. The characters were well developed, the cast was solid, and the dialogue was well-written. And, despite the two somewhat misleading titles, the most memorable part of the film was the inexplicable gulf that divided an extremely devoted mother and her daughter.A good entertainment bargain at a Redbox machine!

I don't mean to be cruel, but why in the world did the producers ever cast Ms Zima in the role of Gillian? This lovely young lady couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. The supporting cast overshadowed her by a mile. Personally, I would have preferred seeing the 'storeowner' play Gillian, than the other way around.Ms Zima seemed to stall or at the very least pause before speaking her lines. Was she unsure of herself in her role, or was this simply bad direction? Someone should have explained that acting bipolar does not mean acting zombie-like. Her 'downs' were pitiful and her ups were ridiculous.Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this movie. I think it had promise, but someone dropped the ball.

The writing was OK, but god I can't get over the terrible acting. The lead actress had a very weak, timid and soft voice that definitely wasn't right for the character. Scenes when she was supposed to raise her voice it seemed like it was barely a whisper. She was supposed to be "bipolar" and a bit "violent" and the way she would touch people when being so called "aggressive" was awkward and like a middle school girl trying to intimidate Laila Ali. The other actors in the movie were good, it was the lead actress Yvonne that was awful. She's like a buck soaking wet and she was able to overpower someone and intimidate them in a disagreement so she can push them down the stairs... Yeah right! SUCKED!

I have read the preview information before watching this movie. This movie is misinforming the viewers about those who suffer from bipolar disorder. The villain is supposed to be a young "bipolar woman". First error- people are not Bipolar. They may have Bipolar disorder, but they should not be defined as their disorder. Second, the behaviors that the movie demonstrates as 'Bipolar' are actually characteristic of BPD- Borderline Personality Disorder and ASPD- Anti-Social Personality Disorder. The are similarities between personality disorders like (BPD & ASPD) and mood disorders (Bipolar, SAD, Depression), but the these are not the same disorders. Gillian "the bipolar" is actually portraying serious psychotic behaviors that are typical of BPD & ASPD, but not suffering from bipolar disorder. This movie is horribly misrepresenting all people who have bipolar disorder. It did very effectively stigmatized all who suffer bipolar disorder as psychopaths. Unfortunately the uneducated public will believe this and further their misconceptions towards those with bipolar disorder. If anyone would really like to understand the bipolar disorder or other mood disorders then educate yourselves. There is a vast information base online where you can learn the truth.
