roberta-678-99533 I have watched this movie a few times , I thought it wasn't gonna be that good but it is , its so romantic and i love the storyline. All the characters are great too. The best part of the story line is that holly is trying to make her mum happy by being the perfect man , little does she know that the guy shes getting the info from IS the perfect man and there's a person in her school who is HER perfect man.The review before this is stupid this is a great movie , WATCH IT !This movie is kind of a chick flick though , the scene were holy sets off the sprinklers in the restaurant is amazing and the point that yeah she kept moving but now she's in a place that she loves !!! XD
lauren_h7 This was one of those movies that was pleasant to watch but not a huge must see! If it wasn't for Hilary duff i'd probably be bored. Some funny moments that made me laugh out loud. I have seen Hilary duff in better films but this easy going basic story about true love and family relationships is the average girly PG film with funny lines and brilliant effort! Actors... the actors were all watchable and played there parts well obviously like i've said Hilary was best. They were lucky to have her.Script... I must say if i'd just seen half of the film i wouldn't be that willing to see the rest but at least the script was kid of cleverOverall i give this movie a six which i believe is fair
Christopher Pellegrino Hilary Duff has never made a movie on her own that I've liked. "A Cinderella Story" was mediocre at best and "Raise Your Voice" had to be on the worst films of 2004. "The Perfect Man" is another Duff vehicle that received horrid reviews, which is funny because I actually thought it was sort of decent. It is the type of movie that is bland and indistinguishable, yes, but also decently so. The storyline zips along with enough plausibility and chuckles for you to feel like the rental fee was worth it. Unlike "A Cinderella Story" and "Raise Your Voice," Duff is not a victim this time, which was refreshing. In fact, she's can be narcissistic and cruel. Heather Locklear plays her distressed mom, and I haven't seen any of her other films but I thought she was believable enough. Ben Feldman is affable as Duff's love interest and Chris Noth is quite good as a charming restraunteer. Speaking of Noth, a good way to sum up "The Perfect Man" is that it plays out a more extended version of a Sex and the City episode, only without the risqué humor or racy subject matter, which makes it a good fit for moms and their daughters. Not a great film, but it follows its dubious formula well enough for me to recommend it to some.GRADE: B
the_moody_youngest To my dismay, this was a good movie! It was funny, incredibly cute, and super underrated! The critics described this movie to be: Perfectly dreadful, 1/10, and "How many blonds does it take to make a crappy movie; apparently 3! And I believed them! I was so naive at that time! But when I was in Newfoundland my aunt had burned this movie and my older sister wanted to watch it. I just said whatever and I thought I would fall asleep. I didn't. I really liked the character Amy because she was very funny and very pretty. This movie had a great plot! I loved this so much we both watched it again. Yes, it was great! This also had one great screenplay. I liked how Holly wanted to make her mom happy so she did that, which was wrong, but nice. I also liked the friendship between Holly and Amy. I could definitely see a life long friendship between the two because they really seem to get along and they became great friends. And I really thought Vanessa's(Amy's) fake New York accent was pretty convincing. She pulled off the role of a New Yorker, when she is really a Canadian.The character Zoey was adorable and I just wanted to pick her up because she was so cute. I really liked Lenny too. He was pretty funny and he was somewhat annoying. If I was the mom, I wouldn't date that guy in a million years! I know that sounds shallow but it really isn't, Lenny is funny but is still a little bit of a cocky jerk. Even though he has nothing to be cocky about(except for his hot ride) I would probably go out with Ben(if I was like 30 years older!) because he is a nice man. I was impressed with this film and you will be too. Rent it, please.
