VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Niharika Verma Well, this is one of those movies which are not rated so well, but surprise you. Its about a young college couple who move in together and then, how life follows, how life changes. I think it will resonate with those of us more, who are in a serious relationship/have been in a serious relationship/ fallen out of love / lost the love. Its a nice, feel good movie. Which teaches a thing or two. Pleasant watch.PS: A good watch for people who want to learn something about relationships/men/women too! :)
Wes47 I guess they thought they were being innovative by starting after the beginning, but I like things to start at the beginning. Call me a stick-in-the-mud if you will, but that doesn't change my preference.So I didn't like that this film starts about 1/4 of the way through, then goes back to the beginning. I also don't like the voice-over, another "innovative" technique that I think has been done to death.I also didn't like that she dumped her boyfriend to go out with the main character, and he didn't respect her boundary that she was already taken. Treat each other with disrespect from the beginning, and you'll go right on doing it.That's what eventually broke this couple up - he didn't keep his promises to her nor keep his eyes to himself. She didn't let him have a say in the decisions that they were supposed to make as a couple.Both of them blame the other person and don't accept responsibility for their trail of broken relationships. So although it's no surprise that they're both single at the end of the film, they are inexplicably thinking about getting back together again.This movie goes in my "Watch it Once and Only Once" category.
ODizzy4Bizzyo this movie wasn't the greatest most spectacular movie I've ever seen, however it does have that certain hopeless romantic predictability one feels like watching sometimes. it's one of those movies u can sit and watch on a lazy Sunday morning when nothing else is on. overall, it was cute even though u know what's going to happen, but it's one of those movies u watch and think wow if only it was real life. the story was pretty much inevitable but it was cute, the clichés thrown in got a little much at some points, but they did have to do with the story so I guess they were okay. Overall Piper Perabo is a much better actress and doesn't need to do made for TV movie but if it's one of those days when u don't feel like getting out of your pajamas this movie is for u.
Roland E. Zwick In "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.
