Davis P This film has received lots of flack, and in my opinion, it is undeserved. The cast is great, every actor does a great job at portraying his/her role. The dialogue is well written too, it flows well throughout. The suspense/thriller aspect of the movie really works very well. And the chemistry between the actors is electric, both in a good and bad way depending on what characters you're talking about. The movie is longer in runtime than I expected and it's more detailed and involved than the stereotypical run of the mill suspense fatal attraction movie, which I of course loved. The film has nice well done pacing to it and the ending sequences are very thrilling and do not disappoint at all. I would suggest The Perfect Guy for any movie goer who enjoys a good, exciting, well made thriller/suspense fatal attraction type thriller. 8/10.

Leon B A friend recommended I watch the movie, said it's good. I'll admit, I'm a tough critic, yet I'll always state my claim and justify my decisions. I'm also a techie, so you'll get to see why the movie falls short.The movie starts out great, the love/romance, leading up to the disagreements, reasons for disagreements as well as an ultimatum is nearly perfect. Next comes a seemingly better option for the distressed female star.Jumping from a seemingly broken relationship, to a nearly "Perfect Guy", she thought she was surely in for the best of what life has to offer. Jumping into quickly opening up her life to her new found love, she begins to see just how wrong things are. This is where things take a turn for the worse, and the thrilling parts of the movie begins.Issue #1: The problem of the key: The main character and even the police took way too long to ask about a possible key to get into her house. She knows she doesn't have a hidden camera, so how did a video from that angle get recorded? Issue #2: Problem of the stalker's apartment: No real smart tech person is going to have hacking gear at his apartment. Especially when hacking. This stupidity in movie making must stop. Leased connections can easily be traced, show something realistic, like using public WiFi, a disposable laptop, etc. Issue #3: Problem of a search warrant: After the main character's video got leaked from her email, with a suspect already questioned, a court order should have been obtained to search his apartment. Issue #4: The ex boyfriend coming back in her life was good, however lacked substance. They should have discussed relationship goals going forward, I don't believe that was laid out clearly.Issue #5: The fight scene at the end was absurd, in my humble opinion. She could have shot him with the non-lethal bullets in the bathroom and then shoot him. Her bright idea of a struggle, lose the gun, then get it back is a terrible idea at best. He could have shot her after taking the gun. If the above issues were corrected, I'd think this movie would be much better. Non-the-less, it was a good watch, can't take it all away.

Lola A The movie is quit disappointing and shallow even though it has a story line that keeps you interested. What I want to point out is the hypocrisy in this movie when it comes to expressing violence. When Carter expresses violence towards the men at the gas station he becomes a red flag (very reasonably) for Leah but when Dave expresses violence towards Carter in the restaurant (regardless of being not so intense as Carter's since violence is violence) all he gets is admiration from Leah. How come he does not become a red flag for being violent? Life Lessons: not much to take with the exception perhaps that sometimes you have to take things on your own matter and be brave. But again this is very poorly and superficially presented. Dealing with serious crimes such as stalking, breaking in and murder and getting away with that so easily is just not realistic. Another lesson perhaps is that perfect does not exist and people should not be trusted so easily because they are usually not what they say they are. Character analysis: extremely poor job done in the main character development. We never get to know more about Carter and his reasoning just that he was abandoned and was bipolar. What what else? There a lot of children raised in foster houses that turn out to be very successful and respected members of society, so this alone is not enough to explain his unreasonable behaviour.

lavatch "The Perfect Guy" starts off with an intriguing premise, and the first thirty minutes of the film sizzle with a romantic relationship between Leah (Sanaa Lathan) and Carter (Michael Ealy). But the film then takes a U-turn to a dismal and predictable story of a deranged stalker and subsequent revenge taken by the victim.Lathan and Ealy are both good in the parts. The chemistry was excellent, and there was a wonderful scene where she introduced her "perfect guy" to her parents. But after that heartwarming trip, a pit stop at a gas station changes everything when Carter nearly kills a harmless bystander in a frenzy of jealous violence.The gas station attendant calls the police, who never arrive to press charges against Carter. An ongoing problem with the film was the complete incompetence of the slow-acting police in response to the clear endangerment of the life of Leah.SPOILER ALERT: By the final third of the film, it was clear that Leah had to play the role of vigilante, much like Charles Bronson in his "Death Wish" films. Incredibly, the advice that Leah received for how to kill her persecutor was given by the inept police detective. Apparently, it is not police protocol to give such advice at the station, but it is acceptable if given in a coffee shop! Overall, "The Perfect Guy" was well-photographed and included a good cast. But there could have been more creative choices to breathe life into a tired formula.
