The Perfect Man is a movie of wit and the heart. It has a little bit of humor in it and a lot of heart breaking situations... and some embarassing moments. Holly Hamilton is your average teen... except she moves around... A LOT! As she describes to her best friend she meets in Brookland Amy, after another failing romance, "my mom starts out hopeful to find the perfect man but when he dosen't come along in about two weeks, she becomes desperate and hooks up with some loser and I can't do anything about it. When the relationship comes to an end, and it always does, we pack up and move again. I can't even run away because that's what she does." Those are the words from Holly, mad how she always makes friends and then has to pack up and move when her mom, Jean, has another failed romance. Jean is a hard-working baker that has raised two girls, and had landed a job at Dolorus's bakery in New York. So Holly has a plan to make the perfect man, even if he didn't exist, so she could boost her mom's shaky self esteem and show her mom that you don't need a man to be the "perfect you" Holly first leaves the most romantic flower, the orchid, and leaves it on the apartment door. Instant messenging Jean from the account she set up, Holly learns more about her mom than she ever knew, using lines from a romantic guy that knows a lot about woman. His name is Ben and he's Amy's uncle. He is a manager at a ritzy restaurant called "The River Bistro" He tells Holly everything... giving her a CD to give to her mom from the perfect man, that is nothing but happy music and before you know it... the 3 Hamilton girls are dancing in the living room. Troubles start to come into the picture when Lenny Horton, the bread baker, comes into the picture and asks Jean out. Never laying eyes on Ben and thinking what-the-heck, she says "yes" and Lenny takes her to a tribute band from Stix. Holly finds out that after going to Ben's place that Ben is the perfect man for her mom. But since she sent him a picture in the mail of him and said that he was moving to China to open a restaurant, they can never meet. Ben does the New York Times crossword puzzle in blue pen, same as Jean... and dosen't think the moon is just a rock that comes out at night, just like Jean... Ben is the perfect man... Holly confesses to her mom that the perfect man wasn't real after Jean gets a wedding proposal from the low life Lenny, but tells her that there is a perfect man out there that was based on the things that she said and that there is a perfect man and a perfect you. This movie is warm hearted and funny! Don't miss out on this one folks!

I remember watching this movie years ago and I like the actress Heather Locklear. It's a light/cute & up lifting storyline. Glad to have this in my collection.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I saw this movie on tv and it looked really interesting. I missed the beginning and the end, but, with the little bit I saw, it had caught my attention that quickly, so I decided to buy it. It was worth it too. Not only was the one part of the show I saw memorable, but so was the beginning and the end. It touches your heart. It could be a story of someone you know or even yourself. It hits home and makes you think. I recommend it to everyone who likes a good movie about real life happenings. After watching this it makes you feel good all over. The way life should be. Happy.
I am a male senior citizen and was intrigued by the title to see what is the perfect man. Yes, it is a chick flick for teenage kids. I found it delightful and very insightful to teenagers and why women pick out losers. Of course I have a great deal of trrouble imagining Heather Locklear as being desperate or dumb enough to settle for the creeps she had. She cannot hide her beauty, intelligence and niceness. The kids are cute and believable
This is a cute movie. I think this was one of Hilary's better movies. There were of course some parts that were dumb but I still liked it. It's not on my favourite movie list but it was still a good movie. It's a feel good, chick flick, romance, very cute and worth it!jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjj j j j j j j j j jj j jj j j j jj j jj j j j j j j jj j j j j
