The Perfect Man isn’t your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy so that’s a plus, unfortunately it’s not very funny in spite of a well rounded cast. Still, I guess I’ve seen worse and might say it’s worth a rental but not much more than that.

PLOT SYNOPSIS
|
| Charlie (TERRENCE J) is a bachelor who’s convinced that relationships are dead despite attempts by his therapist sister (PAULA PATTON) and his friends to tell him otherwise. On a bet, he decides to stay with one woman for one month to prove that he is immune to love. Soon, he meets the beautiful and mysterious Eva (CASSIE VENTURA) and coaxes her into a casual affair. But as Charlie spends more time with Eva, he begins to question whether he may actually want more than just a one-night-stand. |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 2.5/5 |
|
This release comes with a matted slip cover. Inside is a redemption code for the Digital HD copy. Audio Commentary – Director Bille Woodruff is joined by cast members Terrence J, Cassie Ventura, Lauren London and Donald Faison. It’s a free-flowing track that plays more like friends watching with some tid-bits thrown in for good measure. Making The Perfect Match (10:22; HD) is a basic behind-the-scenes featurette with comments by the cast and crew discussing characters and plot mixed around scenes from the movie. What’s Love Without Comedy? (5:05; HD) explores the comedic elements of the film. Let the Good Times Roll (1:24; HD) is just a compilation of outtakes. |
VIDEO – 3.75/5 |
| Lionsgate releases The Perfect Match onto Blu-ray presented in its original 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Although it’s not terribly sharp as it has that digital clean look to it, colors at least were bright and vibrant in keeping with the comedic genre and there were no major instances of artifacts or aliasing. |
AUDIO – 3.5/5 |
| The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track offered up isn’t anything special though does provide for clear dialogue levels and especially comes to life with the soundtrack with some choice music and a generic rom-com, not to mention ambient noises, score making usage of the front and rear channels. Again, it isn’t noteworthy but certainly half-decent. |
OVERALL – 2.25/5 |
|
Overall, The Perfect Man isn’t your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy so that’s a plus, unfortunately it’s not very funny in spite of a well rounded cast. Still, I guess I’ve seen worse and might say it’s worth a rental but not much more than that. The Blu-ray released through Lionsgate offers up good video/audio transfers with some ho-hum bonus features highlighted by a director/cast commentary track. |
