Reviews for The Perfect Man
Hollywood cranks out another prosaic teen-girl-romantic-comedy from its bottomless cultural vacuum in this Hilary Duff vehicle that no non-female person over the age of 12 should suffer through.

The premise is patently ridiculous, but the target audience of 12-year-old girls will be too charmed by the genre requisites to care.
03/06/07
Top CriticThe sparkling charm which Duff once evinced has largely faded with familiarity and too many indifferent projects.
03/01/07
The Perfect Man, starring Hilary Duff, isn't very good. The problem is how to critique it without taking the obvious cheap shots at its likable but over-exposed young star.
09/27/06
None of the leads convince or engage, and supporting characters are either gay stereotypes, routine little sisters or functional best friends.
06/24/06
Many scenes from the previews aren’t in the film -- a telltale sign of desperate last-minute tampering.
05/12/06
The occasional one-liner is wasted amid a sea of clichés and preposterous situations in this Duff vehicle that forgot to put the romance in romantic comedy.

Top CriticWith an emphasis on wacky misunderstandings and situations, the film has all the complexity of a sitcom (a thoroughly mediocre sitcom at that).

Excuse me, but who are these people?

Everything bad about teen chick flicks is encapsulated in The Perfect Man.
08/23/05
Disappointing romantic comedy that starts well but then takes a nosedive into cliché and sickly sweet sentimentality.
08/20/05
Disinterest gets stretched past disbelief.
08/09/05
One of those harmless teen romantic comedies that girls adore and everyone else suffers through.
07/28/05
A completely awful movie, from start to finish.
07/07/05
A film so awful and devoid of anything that could even loosely be described as entertaining that it makes me hope that Duff will move away from acting and concentrate on her musical career.

Top CriticIn place of characters we can relate to, the movie delivers a witless, mechanical series of complications.
