The Perfect You

It started slow at first and I laughed once. Eventually it picked up only with a good story that kept my attention. The ending was pretty good and the actors were very surprising to me! Very good cast! I saw the Twin Towers which I love to see in a movie because I will never FORGET! 3 stars...my review is professionally written..just my point of view

I'd heard about this movie on some chat show or something where Jenny McCarthy was talking about it, but had never heard anything other than that, however I caught it on TV today and was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

While I thought both leads were very good, and I love Paul Dooley, what I really liked about this movie is that I think it was made for an "adult" audience, meaning an audience sophisticated enough to accept people who are somewhat flawed as romantic leads, and who can appreciate a plot which is not written in crayon. This movie does not follow the traditional romantic comedy plot line and I found that very intriguing.

I'd definitely watch it again!

Amazing! Over the years, I have discovered some of the most original and memorable films on late, late night TV and this is definitely another one of those little gems. Probably the most charming thing a movie like this can deliver is absolute unpredictability. You watch; you immediately discover these fully-developed, charming, complicated, quirky, fascinating characters -- and they just take over. They simply start to do their thing and it's not like anything you have ever seen before -- because you've never seen these characters anywhere else before. Wonderful! It's called originality and it has become a very rare thing in a movie from any major studio. This film is completely absorbing and entertaining -- every minute is an adventure -- and you just do not want it to end.

You have to wonder -- how did this miss getting noticed when it first came out? Was it a bad title? In this case, it seems they couldn't decide which of the two titles to use. Yes; you will find it under BOTH IMDb-listed titles! Was it simply the failure of the marketing department? Obviously, lame titles and poor marketing have torpedoed the release of many a fine film. But wow -- what an inspired script -- complete with sparkling dialog. The film is superbly directed -- and just look at the class-A on screen talent here! Jenny McCarthy is truly sublime in this role.

I never really cared for Jenny McCarthy before seeing this movie. I am not a fan of gross humor or dysfunction, and those are the types of roles I had seen her in before this movie. She does a nice job here. It actually was a while before I realized it was her in the female lead role, as it was so different from what I had seen her in before. Hey, who knew she could act? She and the male lead are both very believable in their roles and while this is not Shakespeare, I thought it was well done. Enough so, that after renting it, I bought the cheapest "like new" copy I could find on half.com so I can watch it again when the mood strikes me. Yeah, yeah, both lead characters are a bit dysfunctional, but they get better by the end of the movie.

i saw this movie on TV and also enjoyed it very much, a great movie to see with the girls and those guys that don't mind a bit of girly talk and wit dialog.

it's not so much for the comical side (although it had great moments, not loud laughs but those that stay inside and make you giggle) but for the way this boy meets girl flick presented the whole meeting thing. the dialogue is very natural, not that i would talk that way, but is does seem credible. some quotes are worth remembering, as i always say, cause you never know in what kind of situation you are going to put yourself into. it's good to have a reply ready.

i really liked jenny, mostly for the fact, that she is dressed up to her neck for the entire movie and not showing off her silicon breasts. she can act, good for her, she might have a brilliant future in the movies.
