MOVIE REVIEW - The Perfect Guy

OK, every once in a while, we write one of these things up and keep it short and sweet because there just isn't much to say.  And my mama told me, "If you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all."

The Perfect Guy has found an audience to a degree, and my gut feeling is that much of them would love to have their money back. This is beyond horrible.  This is easily going to be one of the worst movies of the year, and will end up on many year end lists.  More than likely mine.

This is the story of a beautiful young professional and successful woman and this ex-boyfriend that turns into this horrendous stalker dude.  This has been done a thousand times before and done better just as many. The writing of this hunk of junk is so staggeringly bad in every single regard, it is literally laughable.  Our characters are thin and amazingly bland.  Our villain is so weak, so laughable, so meek, so incredibly bad that he takes the whole thing down with him.  There is not one shred of originality in this.  You may have a hard time making it to the end.

This does have a nice cast, and they all are completely wasted with the script which can only be described as Junior High caliber.  Insanely predictable, not scary, not shocking, not anything except flat out bad.  The direction is weak and the editing is very awkward at times. Plus, for the first half of this movie, they have some ridiculous romantic comedy, love story music running that I just could not get my head around.  This looks unbelievably small budget and it feels like it too.

The Perfect Guy.  Horrible.
