The Perfect Guy (2015)

In more recent years we have had 'THE BOY NEXT DOOR (2015)' with Jennifer Lopez 'OBSESSED (2009)' with Idris Elba and 'NO GOOD DEED (2015)' also with Idris Elba but playing against Taraji P Henson instead of Beyonce. You know the charming stranger who's actually slightly insane kind of movie that attempts at being both thrilling and sexy.And where as I enjoyed the aforementioned movies I can't say the same about this one.It's not the worst of it's kind or anything but it's so unremarkable in every way, there isn't even scenes that could make it enjoyable in 'so bad it's good' kind of way either, it's just really bland.And that's a shame because I like all the main actors in it MICHAEL EALY, SANNA LATHAN and MORRIS CHESTNUT are all accomplished actors in other films, but the problem with this movie is granted not the cast but the script.As you can probably understand 'the perfect guy' is not all that perfect, but he's so incredibly hollowly written. The twist is so out of the blue and it doesn't make any sense with how the character has been portrayed until this point. And the reaction, everything just goes way to quick. 'I don't know who you are anymore!' cringe-alert.But that's not to say if the transition would have been a more smoother and natural one that it would have been much better.As far as the sexiness goes, Sanna Lathan shows more skin on the poster than she does in the movie.So yeah, not even that can they get right.

For those of us that watched the Following Michael Ealy basically plays the exact same character in the Following and in The perfect guy.. a Genius Info technology expert and psychopath who is a expert and using false identities and keeping his true identity a secret at all costs.. At the end of the followings last season Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon.. Hero) and Theo Noble(Michael Ealy) fall off a bridge into the water and you don't see what happens to Theo after that. All Ryans friends and the police department assume both of throw died in the fall Ryan continues to go after the bad guys after that rogue agent. But we are never given closure to what happened to Theo Noble(Michael Ealy).. Also Theo Noble is much more of a bad ass then Carter.. Did anyone notice if there are any easter eggs that suggests Theo is Carter? Would have give it 8/10 if it had been a spin off or had some hidden easter eggs in it to suggest it was

This is not the kind of film I would advise someone to see. It is so clichéd and not ashamed about it. Ever been in that scenario where you spy on another student's work during exams without the necessary adjustments: changing of name and maybe perhaps reshuffling the sentences while adding some self generated ideas to make the script look and feel different? The Perfect Guy doesn't do that or even make attempts to. No surprise at all since it was distributed by Screen Gems: a Sony subsidiary. The fact that Screen Gems provides an avenue for black actors and actresses to remind us that they are still around is welcome, but making the same film twice with minor differences is just retarded. If you want to know what I mean, then try watching (Obsessed), (The Boy Next Door), (Fatal Attraction) and many more stalker-based films out there and then come tell me the difference. There is, I won't pretend about that. But it is quite hard to shake of the feeling that they should have been more created. All in all, The Perfect Guy is a recycled flick that fades away with the passing of the wind.The marriage/family desire of women plays a major role into why Leah breaks up with boyfriend Dave. And maybe why she rushes into a relationship with Carter-----foolishly, passion takes over and she fails to confirm if he has the same ambitions as her. She might be an uber-successful woman, but she is on the rebound. That was the character I saw. No doubt, Sana and Michael have chemistry, but the effort in setting up their characters towards the romantic fare is weak. Not only that, those parts where she discovers Carter possessiveness and quickly rushes back into Dave arms highlights how an independent booming career woman who might be constantly faced with weighing the consequence decisions at work is needy, romantically. The main character development is confusing. Her weaknesses are more than her strengths even though more time is spent putting those strengths to use. Simply put, she is a desperate needy woman who is on the rebound. The only positive take away is Michael Ealy's charming psychotic performance, but then that is muddled up by the triteness of the film. Morris Chestnut isn't given much to do except to come on screen and play the loving boyfriend/ partner, but then I can give you a list of films in which he has played this same role: (The Best Man Holiday)and (Not Easily Broken)-perfect typecasting! My advice still stands, but if you insist- don't say I didn't warn you.

Usually movies like these ( suspense thrillers ) look better in the trailers , but this one actually satisfied the audience in the actual movie itself !! It definitely was my money's worth with all its action and suspense . Michael Ealy as always, does an incredible job in this film playing his role as an psychotic stalker after a one night stand . Obviously this director choose 10 star actors to perfect this movie and portray a deeper , more crazy way of loving someone. The " perfect guy " in this sense means the deception of the person you want , who'll do anything to be with you .... Anything.... even get rid of people who will hinder the relationship. The perfect guy in this movie ( played by Mivhael Ealy ) seems to be the typical charming , beyond handsome, respectable guy that every girl wants until they realize how " perfect " comes with some flaws.
