The Perfect You

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.

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.

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.

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 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!
