Reviews

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.

adonis98-743-186503 After a painful breakup, successful lobbyist Leah Vaughn (Sanaa Lathan) jumps into a passionate relationship with a charming stranger (Michael Ealy). When her ex-boyfriend (Morris Chestnut) resurfaces in her life she has to figure out who she should trust and who she should fear. Well one thing is for sure this film will bore you to death and the "charming stranger" Michael Ealy really bugged me this is the kind of plot and story that has become so typical and dumb that is getting out of hand with every single one of their films being the exact same thing over and over again and this guy Morris Chestnut needs to stop starring in these kind of movies seriously.

johanna-ewards I read this description of the movie:"After a painful breakup, successful lobbyist Leah Vaughn (Sanaa Lathan) jumps into a passionate relationship with a charming stranger (Michael Ealy). When her ex-boyfriend (Morris Chestnut) resurfaces in her life she has to figure out who she should trust and who she should fear." And after reading that I thought that this would be a thrilling movie in my taste. But even though I love Sanaa Lathans acting and the main plot this was nothing other than a big disappointment. "She has to figure out who she should trust and who she should fear". Absolutely not. Leah and the audience knows from the very first second who's the villain and who's not in this movie. That's what's make it such a boring and predictable movie. It was the typical "get the neighbor that suspect that something is wrong to be quiet so let's push her down the stairs", and "let's destroy the wheels of the car and make it look like an accident" and so on. Nothing you haven't seen before in these kind of movies.So predictable movie. No plot twist what so ever. Don't think it's worth your time. Can strongly recommend to watch Disturbia and Boy next Door instead that has plots similar to this one but are MUCH more thrilling and unpredictable.

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.
