Le prix de la gloire

Perfect Body is a thoughtful drama with a strong story line about a young gymnast, Andie Bradley (Amy Jo Johnson) who develops several eating disorders while trying to achieve the perfect body.

This is a movie filled with gymnastics, drama and tissue alerts and is DEFINITELY worth seeing.

Perfect plot, perfect actors, perfect script, perfect!

This film could be used to educate young girls and their parents about deadly eating disorders.Beautiful actress Amy Jo Johnson of Power Rangers fame,brilliantly plays the role of a young girl passionate about being a gymnast,but is brainwashed into believing that unless she is dangerously thin,she'll never be successful.Johnson's character becomes obsessed with her weight and soon begins to fall into dangerous habits of throwing up everything she consumes to not eating at all.Her bulimia quickly leads to anorexia,and a frighteningly thin Johnson's health begins to fail,sparking concern for those who care about her.The film is a decent portrayal of how eating disorders orginate and could be useful for anyone who suspects someone they care about suffers from bulimia or anorexia.

This movie was great for a Sunday afternoon cheesy Lifetime movie, but a few things in it were so unrealistic that it just about drove me crazy.

My biggest complaint was that the gymnastics that these girls were shown doing were nowhere near the olympic level, which they claimed to be. The vaults were especially ridiculous. I mean, I did some of those vaults when I was ten years old, and I wasn't anywhere near olympic level (I was level 6, elite is level 10).

Also, Amy Jo Johnson's character's eating disorder just sort of suddenly went away when she realized it was harming her. A more realistic eating disorder movie is Sharing The Secret.

I've seen the mowvie and I think it was very good. You could be Andy and feel how she's was feeling. I think the only problems was that it was sometimes like a soap-opera. You've really felt how Andy was pushed from all sides. And how she get Bulemia anerosa.

Very good movie ! You should have seen it !

I have seen this film many times, and it still upsets me the thought that people have to lose so much weight, just to be accepted into society. I think Hollywood need to make more films about young people with anorexia/bulimia to maybe help the millions of young people in the world with these illnesses. It is a brilliant film, and I would recommend it to anyone.
