Movie Reviews of The Perfect Man
Movie Review: decent, for what it was
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit that, as a teen romance comedy type of movie, The Perfect Man really wasn't all that bad. Hillary Duff plays a likeable character, though her mom is actually the one who seems to be immature at times because of her inability to confront her problems (as another reviewer mentions). The kid sister was pretty good too. Usually in these type of movies the smallest child doesn't really do anything, but that wasn't quite the case this time.
I had to laugh at all the Styx references that the character Lenny made, and the scene with him singing the song "lady" to the girl of his dreams by climbing on top of that building was hysterical. Not really the best movie of the year, but not one you should dismiss, either.
Movie Review: could hear a pin drop
Summary: 4 Stars
I had seen this movie before. I walked into the waiting room for my MRI today, and you could hear a pin drop. There was a peremable silence, and I wondered what was going on. Then I saw the movie being played, and the attention of the people in the waiting room. The movie ended as I was filling out paperwork. I have never seen this reaction before. So...I ordered it from Amazon, and counted my lucky stars that it was still available. Good chic-flick, from what I remembered. I have never seen a movie not available anymore...weird. Glad I ordered, and can't believe the price I got.
Movie Review: Nice, family movie
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a nice movie for the whole family. It has some comedy, it's sensible teaches a lesson and it's a movie that the whole family can see together.
Hilary Duff actes very good and makes a very good match of mother and daughter with Heather Locklear. The 3 girls(duff, locklear and sister) make a nice litte family.
Movie Review: Stupendous
Summary: 4 Stars
This item was exactly as the profile said. Was in absolute great condition and arrived on time.Movie Review: Not quite perfect, but still good.
Summary: 3 Stars
Firstly, don't get me wrong, I actually really like Hilary Duff. I think she's a nice enough person for someone who's young and got Young Hollywood at her command, and she IS actually a pretty good singer. But something that Hilary lacks is the ability to choose unique and diverse scripts. This must be the fifth or sixth movie she's made since she graduated from the hit Disney sit-com "Lizzie McGuire" and not once yet, has she portrayed anyone other than the teenaged damsel in distress.
And this movie, "The Perfect Man" is no acception.
The story is simple. Sixteen-year-old Holly Hamilton has spent her life shifting her life all over the United States due to her mother's inability to secure a good relationship. Now, in her latest zip code of Brooklyn, New York, Holly is dertermined for her, and her mother to stay grounded for at least a little while. WIth the help of her friends Uncle Ben, Holly creates for her mum the illusion of "the perfect man", but along the way finds that life isn't all that simple.
Despite a great supporting cast - Chris Noth, who's most famously known as Mr Big on "Sex and the City", Heather Locklear, and "Queer Eye's" Carson Kressly - the film is swarming with tedious cliches and an unrealistic script. It mars the otherwise important message of the film - that running from your problems will only make things worse. Hilary Duff is a good actress, with a lot of potential, and many successful years ahead of her. I just wish she'd choose more meaty and original scripts that will bring her talent to life.
However, I gave this movie three stars for a reason. It IS a fairly good film for a Friday night after a hard day's work. It's pleasant, no mistaking, and it WILL generate quite a few little giggles throughout. Carson Kressly is halarious as the gay bartender, whose real-life fashion expertise leaks through onto the screen. And I personlly, being a HUGE "sex and the City" fan, love seeing my Mr Big in films, so on that front I enjoyed it.
"The Perfect Man" suffers from predictability and a flawed script. However die-hard fans of Hilary Duff will love it and the array of loved recognisable faces will add a spark. No, it's not perfect, but it's good.
