Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Falcon07 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 !!
jonathanburhan This movie is exceptionally realistic, and I really enjoyed it. I have first hand experience in the sort of relationship shown in this movie, and I could relate to both Sarah and John's characters. John is a man that suffers from what appears to be Borderline Personality Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He feels lonely, and believes that the missing part of his life is love. The problem is, he is unstable and unable to control his emotions. While it may seem unrealistic that two people can fall in love and get involved in a serious relationship quickly, the fact remains that this usually happens with 2 people that miss what they feel is love. John's feelings, however, would never be accepted in society, hence why he is alone.John has had a traumatic childhood, with his mother giving him away when he was a young child and later on is revealed that he was sexually abused as a boy, by the people looking after him.John truly loves Sarah, and it is shown throughout the movie that his love is over excessive. To sum this movie up quickly, it's well worth watching, and shows how a mentally ill man tries to cope with a relationship with a fairly functioning woman. Whilst it can be argued that John didn't love Sarah, the fact remains, he did. What happened during the end, and because Sarah was not able to figure out John was unstable, was mostly Sarah's fault. The warning signs were there, but she ignored them, even when she knows John is seeing a doctor.
marnie24 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.
sweetcoachpotato 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.
