A Perfect Fit

I thoroughly enjoyed 'A Perfect Fit'. It is a compelling psychodrama that had me at the edge of my seat throughout the film. This film captures the vicissitudes of one's mental states and, in particular, the state of the lead character's mind. The imagery throughout the film transported me into the film as if I was there and part of the drama! I imagine we all know people including ourselves who have been challenged in some degree by obsession. This film illustrates, to perfection, the mania associated with those obsessions. Indeed,it exemplifies how life loses all control and meaning in the face of those states of mind. The lead actor takes on this role and it's manifestations brilliantly. Throughout the film, I was impressed by the depth of emotion and character that is portrayed and acted on. My congratulations to the many people involved from the original writing to the completion and presentation of the finished product.....Outstanding Work! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished watching this movie and it is really fantastic! I am completely blown away by it. I see many movies and I just loved this one because it kept me involved in it from start to finish. The acting is superb and the dialogue is believable. Adrian Grenier plays a guy who finds love but he has so many problems that he can't handle it. Because of Adrian Grenier's charm, acting ability, and the depth of his well written character, you really sympathize with his character and wish him well. Leila Arcieri does an equally wonderful job as a young woman who thinks she's found the perfect man, only to find out that he's got really big problems when they are both in it over their heads. Both of these roles require a lot of acting talent and Adrian (I love him in entourage!) and Leila deliver big time. If you've ever been in love with someone only to find out that he or she is not the right person for you, then you will love this film.

I really liked this movie a lot. I got it on a whim and I was pleased. I thought the plot was really interesting and the way it was set up engaging.

Adrian did a good job of making his character sympathetic so you could really relate to him and wish for a happy ending though you know his past would eventually catch up with him and ruin his future.

Arcieri really surprised me because I didn't know she could act so well. Her and Adrian had really great chemistry. It was so believable and made it easy to imagine why they would fall so fast into a relationship with one another.

Another thing the movie did well was display that not only did John have his issues, but so did Sarah. Her pastoral family life looked perfect from the outside, but her comments about her own family and her actions, the fact she herself was so needy for love, implied a lonely childhood. For that reason, them both being so needy and desperate for love, they fell for each other and Sarah ignored the warning signs. That and Adrian is just that good looking.

I liked the movie a lot though and would recommend.

So...I do not watch "Entourage", and before today I had no idea who Adrian Grenier was. Nor have I ever hated a movies so much that I wanted to review it. One, totally predictable. Two, totally boring. Three, zero chemistry. Four, huge waste of time.

There was nothing interesting about it. It was campy and really fake. I was not sure what was wrong with the guy for the first half of the hour long movie, than just waited for him to snap. There was zero emotion in Leila Arcieri's part,nothing.

This movie made me feel uncomfortable, angry and embarrassed that I actually finished watching it. Horrible!

A Perfect Fit looks at the damage that can be done to a relationship if we can't get beyond the scars carried over from our childhoods. Sarah (Leila Arcieri) is so eager to find a man that she overlooks the warning signals in John's (Adrian Grenier) behavior. The film makes it clear from the opening scenes that John is a disaster waiting to happen, but Sarah chooses to ignore some of the warning signals, and plunges headlong into a relationship with him. As an audience, we know more about John's troubles than Sarah does, which creates a lot of tension. Many of us have made similar mistakes in our own lives, and it is easy to relate to Sarah's predicament. When the film shows us the reasons for John's troubles, he becomes a sympathetic character. Even though we know it's probably futile, we hope that John will find a way to tame his demons, and that the relationship will work out in the end.

Adrian Grenier and Leila Arcieri give wonderful performances in demanding roles. They have an amazing chemistry that is at times exciting, and at other times, disturbing to watch. Watching Grenier try to manipulate and control Sarah causes discomfort, but we can't help but feel some empathy for him as he struggles to hold onto the thing that he has missed out on his whole life – love. Writer/director Ron Brown has created an intimate film with believable and concise dialogue. It definitely rings true, and that's what makes it unique.
