you'd actually have to have experienced this weird crap in your real life in order to enjoy it. it was just a weird movie about some killer idiot. he was always thinking about murdering his therapist and it was constantly flashing back to scenes, but it was one of those lame flashbacks where they don't tell you it's a flashback and you think it's happening now. it's kind of confusing, but not in a deep sense. it's more like a sense of idiocy and waste of time. like, "why am i still watching this crap?" i'm actually at a loss for words as to why i finished the film. the grenier fellow really needs to try a new hair style. i mean, he has nice hair, but he only has one haircut and that's just retarded. he could get some corn rolls or a bowl cut even. i think the movie was retarded.

So...I do not watch "Entourage", and before today I had no idea who Adrian Grenier was. Nor have I ever hated a movies so much that I wanted to review it. One, totally predictable. Two, totally boring. Three, zero chemistry. Four, huge waste of time.
There was nothing interesting about it. It was campy and really fake. I was not sure what was wrong with the guy for the first half of the hour long movie, than just waited for him to snap. There was zero emotion in Leila Arcieri's part,nothing.
This movie made me feel uncomfortable, angry and embarrassed that I actually finished watching it. Horrible!

This movie touched me and truly made me appreciate what I have in life, as it is easy to forget in a relationship how lucky and loved you are.
A good solid performance from both leading roles intrigued me to keep watching. Although a sad story, there is happiness in it, depending on your perspective of the movie.
I am also a fan of Leila Arcieri, as I think she is beautiful and her acting nice to watch..not too full on like a lot of over-powered wooden leads. Many Scenes she does in her whites, which is also a bonus !!!
Adrian Grenier played the part perfect and gave a sense of realism to the movie..as did Leila, they connected well and gave the film a realistic feel to it.
I especially enjoyed the old lady scene too :)
Go watch this one !!

This movie fooled us by being in the "new release" section of the Video Gallery. In actuality, we had never heard of the film because it is so awful that it is hardly worth mention by the local media. This seemed like a made for T.V. Lifetime movie that my girlfriend and I wasted $5 to rent. The acting had all the talent of a low budget porno flick and the plot was predictable trash. It was in no way realistic or believable. This was not some deep rooted psychological thriller, just garbage with a creepy lead character. The storyline was full of holes and seemed to misrepresent current societal trends in technology and relationships. It was far from entertaining. We kept watching in hope of some great plot twist or character development, but that never occurred.

I thoroughly enjoyed 'A Perfect Fit'. It is a compelling psychodrama that had me at the edge of my seat throughout the film. This film captures the vicissitudes of one's mental states and, in particular, the state of the lead character's mind. The imagery throughout the film transported me into the film as if I was there and part of the drama! I imagine we all know people including ourselves who have been challenged in some degree by obsession. This film illustrates, to perfection, the mania associated with those obsessions. Indeed,it exemplifies how life loses all control and meaning in the face of those states of mind. The lead actor takes on this role and it's manifestations brilliantly. Throughout the film, I was impressed by the depth of emotion and character that is portrayed and acted on. My congratulations to the many people involved from the original writing to the completion and presentation of the finished product.....Outstanding Work! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Perfect Fit looks at the damage that can be done to a relationship if we can't get beyond the scars carried over from our childhoods. Sarah (Leila Arcieri) is so eager to find a man that she overlooks the warning signals in John's (Adrian Grenier) behavior. The film makes it clear from the opening scenes that John is a disaster waiting to happen, but Sarah chooses to ignore some of the warning signals, and plunges headlong into a relationship with him. As an audience, we know more about John's troubles than Sarah does, which creates a lot of tension. Many of us have made similar mistakes in our own lives, and it is easy to relate to Sarah's predicament. When the film shows us the reasons for John's troubles, he becomes a sympathetic character. Even though we know it's probably futile, we hope that John will find a way to tame his demons, and that the relationship will work out in the end.
Adrian Grenier and Leila Arcieri give wonderful performances in demanding roles. They have an amazing chemistry that is at times exciting, and at other times, disturbing to watch. Watching Grenier try to manipulate and control Sarah causes discomfort, but we can't help but feel some empathy for him as he struggles to hold onto the thing that he has missed out on his whole life love. Writer/director Ron Brown has created an intimate film with believable and concise dialogue. It definitely rings true, and that's what makes it unique.

I am a fan of Adrian Grenier and really love Entourage so I was excited when I saw this DVD was out. It was so much fun for me to watch him play a part that is nothing like the role he plays on TV. I was really impressed with his acting range. He was amazing in this movie. The movie held my interest in a way that reminds me how much I miss that feeling most of the time when I watch movies. The characters seem to me to be like people I know and I found myself relating to Leila Arcieri's character in a way that almost scared me. I have a feeling that many women looking for Mr. Right and feeling like she will never find him will also connect to this movie. I was never bored and I only wished I could have seen it in the theater because my TV is old and small. I want to tell as many people as I can to see this film because it is enjoyable, and it also makes you think and have a lot of feelings.

What I liked so much about A Perfect Fit is that it made me feel so much. The film is clearly a sad story about two people who desperately want to find the love that they feel will complete their lives. I felt like I could see myself, and many of my friends, in the character of Sarah. We have all looked for love in the wrong places many times. We consistently find ourselves drawn to men who look like a prize package, but wind up being major booby-traps. I wonder if I had seen this movie before my last heartbreak if I might have done things differently. Probably not because I, like Sarah, am a sucker for a gorgeous charmer. I, too, have trouble seeing a man for real at the beginning of the relationship. As I said, ultimately, A Perfect Fit is a sad story, but along the way, there are some great laughs, some moments of suspense, and it is all done in a way that made me not want the movie to end. The actors are beautiful to look at, and they seem like real people. I haven't seen them act before, but I am going to look for them in the future. This is a movie that I found myself thinking about long after it ended.

I really liked this movie a lot. I got it on a whim and I was pleased. I thought the plot was really interesting and the way it was set up engaging.
Adrian did a good job of making his character sympathetic so you could really relate to him and wish for a happy ending though you know his past would eventually catch up with him and ruin his future.
Arcieri really surprised me because I didn't know she could act so well. Her and Adrian had really great chemistry. It was so believable and made it easy to imagine why they would fall so fast into a relationship with one another.
Another thing the movie did well was display that not only did John have his issues, but so did Sarah. Her pastoral family life looked perfect from the outside, but her comments about her own family and her actions, the fact she herself was so needy for love, implied a lonely childhood. For that reason, them both being so needy and desperate for love, they fell for each other and Sarah ignored the warning signs. That and Adrian is just that good looking.
I liked the movie a lot though and would recommend.

I just finished watching this movie and it is really fantastic! I am completely blown away by it. I see many movies and I just loved this one because it kept me involved in it from start to finish. The acting is superb and the dialogue is believable. Adrian Grenier plays a guy who finds love but he has so many problems that he can't handle it. Because of Adrian Grenier's charm, acting ability, and the depth of his well written character, you really sympathize with his character and wish him well. Leila Arcieri does an equally wonderful job as a young woman who thinks she's found the perfect man, only to find out that he's got really big problems when they are both in it over their heads. Both of these roles require a lot of acting talent and Adrian (I love him in entourage!) and Leila deliver big time. If you've ever been in love with someone only to find out that he or she is not the right person for you, then you will love this film.
