The Perfect Man
Holly is tired of moving every time her mom Jean breaks up with yet another second-rate guy. To distract her mother from her latest bad choice, Holly conceives the perfect plan for the perfect man, an imaginary secret admirer who will romance Jean and boost her self-esteem.
Critics Sentiment
Adam reveals his feelings by kissing Holly after their confrontation
Holly disrupts a wedding thinking Ben is marrying someone else
The film drops significantly from the sweet romantic moment between Holly and Adam to the embarrassing wedding disruption sequence that critics universally panned.
The Perfect Man follows a predictable arc that starts with mild disapproval of the premise and characters, finds some charm in the middle romance subplots, then crashes during an embarrassing climactic misunderstanding before recovering to a conventional happy ending. Critics consistently noted that while the film had some pleasant surprises and genuine moments, it was ultimately undermined by poor writing, plot holes, and unlikable main characters.
