The Perfect Guy

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.

Decent film. Decent plot. Good acting. Worth the watch.

I recently watched The Perfect Guy (2015) on Tubi. The storyline follows a woman who is ready for children, but her boyfriend isn't, leading them to break up. As she reenters the dating scene, she meets what seems to be the perfect guy, only to discover he has anger issues and becomes a stalker. Can she escape his clutches before something terrible happens?

Directed by David M. Rosenthal (How it Ends), the film stars Sanaa Lathan (Alien vs. Predator), Michael Ealy (Barbershop), Morris Chestnut (The Bestman), Charles S. Dutton (A Time to Kill) and L. Scott Caldwell (The Fugitive).

The acting, storyline, and overall setup of this movie feels authentic and well-executed. While some scenes may come across as a bit overboard, Michael Ealy's portrayal, though occasionally on the overacted side, effectively establishes an intense and conniving character, at times subtly and at times overtly. While there are predictable moments, credit is due to Ealy for creating a character with depth and intensity. Lathan and Chestnut deliver solid characters too. The film also delivers some enjoyable twists and turns toward the end, along with unexpectedly ruthless scenes.

In conclusion, The Perfect Guy is an entertaining thriller that may not be outstanding but is certainly worth a watch. I would rate this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

The perfect guy is the kind of flick your girlfriend is half way through watching when you get home and even though you know exactly what will happen scenes before they do, you sit down and watch the rest with your partner as it chugs along.

This was a flick I always said to watch when I wasn't there and I found myself enjoying it.

It's well paced, some solid supporting cast and the escalation of the antagonist doesn't feel forced.

Give it a shot.... When there's nothing else.

"I saw him beat someone badly, just for talking to me." Leah (Lathan) and her boyfriend have different plans for the future and decide to split up. When she meets the charismatic and charming Carter (Ealy) she easily falls for him. He says and does everything perfect, but when she sees his dark side things change. Afraid of what he may do next Leah breaks up with him, but Carter doesn't let go so easy. This is a really good movie that could have been so much better. The movie gets really close to the tenseness it is striving for, but ends up falling short. Carter does do some very scary and terrifying things, but nothing that hasn't been seen before. The movie really left a lot on the table that would have really helped it out and made the movie as tense as the filmmakers wanted it to be. The movie is good and I liked it better then No Good Deed, but it was just too cliché to really have the impact it wanted. Overall, not bad and worth watching, but not as tense as it could have been. I give it a B-.
