Perfect Fit

Sexy Maria Ford gives a startlingly good performance as a dangerously seductive woman obsessed with finding just the right pair of jeans (??!) She looks great and does a perfect Jersey Girl accent, while playing her fairly absurd character (selfish, manipulative yet oblivious) with deadpan seriousness and real screen charisma. Fans of Maria's who have been claiming for years that she could be great if given a decent role have been proved right here. Unfortunately, Maria Ford is the only reason to watch this thing, and she's not enough. Variations on Fatal Attraction, Natural Born Killers and Bonnie and Clyde have been done to death, and this movie has little fresh to add. Plus, David Grieco in the central role could not anchor a rowboat, much less a feature film. He lacks charisma, and his character has no quirks, indeed very little on- screen 'business' that is interesting and so he fails to captivate the audience in the early going. When Ford comes in, she steals every scene she's in, and as their clearly dysfunctional relationship begins to play out, the viewer doesn't much care which way it goes or where he winds up. There are few plot twists, fewer jokes and little scenery of any interest to watch once you get past Ford's bare mid-riff, which makes staying awake through the second half of the picture a bit of a chore. Not recommended.

I am a fan of Maria Ford and the creator of the Maria Ford Home Page. Most of Maria's early movies are simple T&A flicks in which she played strippers and/or hookers and more often than not got bumped off. "The Perfect Fit" is a departure in many ways. It has substance. It has a plot. It is quirky. It is imaginative. And Maria, in it, is flawless. Her character, Perry, is a delightfully self-absorbed, pampered, twisted, un-apologetic, aggressive woman used to getting whatever she wants, whatever the cost. She is dominating. She is sarcastic. She has a past, which none of Maria's other roles have really given her. I even love that in it, she EATS. In what other movie is the beautiful, sexy lead allowed to have a healthy appetite?

I'd seen this title at the video store for a year and just thought it was one of those tacky "made for video" ripoffs. This was supported by the Two Left Shoes production company that produced it. I have had 100% terrible luck with their movies. But, thanks, to the reviewers on IMDB, it sounded like a sleeper, so I tried it. I was pleased. It was black, funny, quirky and kinda film noir in places. Great dialog and music that kept coming. I would recommend this and may give the production company another chance combined with my IMDB.com friend.

Dickie meets Perry (Maria Ford) in a nightclub one evening. Dickie says he'll do anything for her. Perry takes it literally. How far will Dickie go to keep Perry happy?

Perfect Fit is a dark comedy about what a person will do to get the perfect pair of jeans. Maria Ford is the main reason that I watched this. Friends Paul Bartel (Eating Raoul, Rock and Roll High School) and Mary Woronov (Angel of H. E. A. T., Sugar Cookies) are part of the supporting cast, as is John Philbin (Return of the Living Dead).

If you like bizarre films and strange humor, you'll find Perfect Fit worth a viewing. A must for Maria Ford fans too!

Perfect fit is not just a dumb T&A movie (although it does have plenty of that as well) but a very intelligent thriller of a movie that keeps you guessing to the very end. The young guy in this movie `Dick' is trying desperately to fit in somewhere in life and not having much luck in the nightclubs of LA. Maria Ford who plays Pery (the girl Dick is willing to do anything for) was born for this part and plays it perfectly. In addition to this I enjoyed the soundtrack and a great dance scene by Maria Ford.
