The Perfect You

I work the graveyard shift at a hotel, there really isn't much to do during that time so I was flipping through the channels on the TV in the office and came across this movie. I thought, "What the heck." To my surprise, I found myself caught up in it at apparently the most pivotal point. (Never can get in on the beginning of the good ones.)

I was shocked to find that I actually like Jenny McCarthy as an actress. I just always thought I wouldn't like, no particular reason, just thought that. And let's not forget about Chris Eigeman. Can we say cute!! Actually my type of guy in a romantic lead....I love it.

This movie is fantastic. I love how it shows that life can be ironic. I recommend this movie highly!

It has enough moments to make it passable as a rental that substitutes for bad TV. Not the strongest recommendation, but when I watched it I was in the mood for something not demanding, and it delivered. The leads are competent and the story is a nice variation on boy meets girl, and there aren't any scenes that stink the movie up for me. I wouldn't watch this movie with young kids, unless you are eager to explain to them about some recreational equipment for adults.

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.

An enjoyable underrated film about how fate can often influence people's lives, especially when they are least expecting it. Particularly amusing was the love/hate relationship between the two leads. The highlight being the restaurant scene.

Surprisingly good was Jenny McCarthy in the lead female role, I say surprisingly because I later learned that she used to model for playboy magazine. She seems to be criminally underused in the film business and deserves to be given more good parts in the future.

In summary, a really good, little romantic comedy.
