One of my all time favorites.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
... View Morethis movie has a lot to say, and i tell you.. its more like we never tend to see life thru the eyes of someone that persists to fall in our circle against all odds.. taking people for granted is relative when that person is culled out for you.... this movie is just so simple and explains perfectly what thats about.. not the official action packed kind of movie but makes a Lot sense.. and speaks a lot... awesome act.. never take for granted someone thats loves the live out of you, i mean there are so many fakes out there. people should pray for relationships as this. it makes a lot of sense to see a movie carved out to speak to relationships, and families in the making.and for Piper Perabo, lovely.. i mean, perfect act...
... View MoreFrom the beginning this movie had a nice story,a bit predictable but you can't see much creativity in teen movies : all come back to the same story : young people falling in love(you know the end).But even if it's not the best comedy/romantic I saw I must admit it's pretty interesting and the acting is good.The acting really makes you interested,moves you in a certain way.It's a good take-home movie.The story puts you in a romantic mood,it even makes you feel a bit sad because of the breaking-up part.But as in almost all romantic movies it has a nice ending leaving you with the feeling that even in real life love conquers all,even it's not completely true.It's worth seeing and I had a comfy evening watching it.
... View MoreBoy meets girl, things are good, but then there is conflict! Holy mackerel this is unpredictable.I had waves of a sick-feeling while watching this moving at how corny and predictable the dialogue and situations are.I've never heard so many clichés about relationships.This is a very stale romantic comedy. The stars look tired and bored. Most tiresome were the attempts to show a little uniqueness by the narrator freezing the frame and winding back certain scenes and playing them again. Too corny.Don't see this.
... View MoreIn "Perfect Opposites," Drew and Julia, two college grads from "a school in the Midwest," decide to head to L.A. to start life together as a committed couple (not much of a move, as it turns out, since the college scenes were actually filmed at USC). However, in no time at all, the pressures of trying to establish their careers, combined with Drew's innate fear of commitment, end up putting a serious strain on the relationship."Perfect Opposites" is a fairly conventional romantic comedy that does at least offer a few flashes of insight into the complexities of man/woman relationships, even though the motivations for some of the characters' actions are strangely arbitrary and inscrutable at times. Nevertheless, as the complications arise, we find ourselves identifying with the two main characters more than we expect to at the beginning of the story. Unfortunately, the film insists on parading a bunch of cutesy L.A. stereotypes before the camera, severely undercutting the sense of reality it establishes in the scenes between Julia and Drew. There is one very funny scene in which Drew's old college roommate lays out his theory about where men and women fit in the evolutionary scheme of things, but the film doesn't achieve that level of comic cleverness very often.As Drew and Julia, Martin Henderson and Piper Perabo make an attractive, likable couple, and the secondary performers do what they can with the characters they've been handed."Perfect Opposites" is a hard film to call because it feels both artificial and realistic in roughly equal measure. It takes a slightly more mature view of the world than most films of its type, building to a final scene that is a tad more thoughtful than what we are accustomed to in a romantic comedy. For that reason alone it deserves some recognition.
