you'd actually have to have experienced this weird crap in your real life in order to enjoy it. it was just a weird movie about some killer idiot. he was always thinking about murdering his therapist and it was constantly flashing back to scenes, but it was one of those lame flashbacks where they don't tell you it's a flashback and you think it's happening now. it's kind of confusing, but not in a deep sense. it's more like a sense of idiocy and waste of time. like, "why am i still watching this crap?" i'm actually at a loss for words as to why i finished the film. the grenier fellow really needs to try a new hair style. i mean, he has nice hair, but he only has one haircut and that's just retarded. he could get some corn rolls or a bowl cut even. i think the movie was retarded.
What I liked so much about A Perfect Fit is that it made me feel so much. The film is clearly a sad story about two people who desperately want to find the love that they feel will complete their lives. I felt like I could see myself, and many of my friends, in the character of Sarah. We have all looked for love in the wrong places many times. We consistently find ourselves drawn to men who look like a prize package, but wind up being major booby-traps. I wonder if I had seen this movie before my last heartbreak if I might have done things differently. Probably not because I, like Sarah, am a sucker for a gorgeous charmer. I, too, have trouble seeing a man for real at the beginning of the relationship. As I said, ultimately, A Perfect Fit is a sad story, but along the way, there are some great laughs, some moments of suspense, and it is all done in a way that made me not want the movie to end. The actors are beautiful to look at, and they seem like real people. I haven't seen them act before, but I am going to look for them in the future. This is a movie that I found myself thinking about long after it ended.
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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie fooled us by being in the "new release" section of the Video Gallery. In actuality, we had never heard of the film because it is so awful that it is hardly worth mention by the local media. This seemed like a made for T.V. Lifetime movie that my girlfriend and I wasted $5 to rent. The acting had all the talent of a low budget porno flick and the plot was predictable trash. It was in no way realistic or believable. This was not some deep rooted psychological thriller, just garbage with a creepy lead character. The storyline was full of holes and seemed to misrepresent current societal trends in technology and relationships. It was far from entertaining. We kept watching in hope of some great plot twist or character development, but that never occurred.
