The Perfect Man (2005): Dir: Mark Rosman / Cast: Hilary Duff, Heather Locklear, Chris Noth, Mike O' Malley, Ben Feldman: Teen comedy about expectations and disappointments, much like the film. Every time Heather Locklear's heart is broken she packs up her two daughters and moves. They move to Brooklyn where she is employed as a cake decorator. Hilary Duff plays her daughter who decides that if her mother is to be happy in a relationship then she should choose her mother's next date. She schemes a plan where her friend's uncle is sighted as her mother's next Mr. Right unknowingly while Locklear is overwhelmed with romantic gestures. Stupid setup leads to even stupider developments before arriving at an ending viewers have seen from afar. Directed by Mark Rosman who previously directed Duff in A Cinderella Story, which isn't much better. Here he is backed by cheap production. Duff is still appealing to a young audience here but her actions are juvenile while Locklear comes off as too gullible and unsympathetic. Then there is the unbelievable Chris Noth as the uncle used without knowing. One wonders whether he was given the same treatment during the making of this film. Ben Feldman plays the umpteenth guy with a crush on Hilary Duff. He can get in line. And let us not forget the overacting Mike O'Malley as one of Locklear's co-workers. Theme buried in a less than perfect script. Score: 2 / 10

The Perfect Man is what Hilary Duff seeks for her mother Heather Locklear. Locklear, Duff and younger sister Aria Wallace keep moving from place to place every time Locklear has a relationship that doesn't work out. The latest move has landed them in the borough of homes and churches and formerly a city of its own, Brooklyn. With a couple of million people as a population surely there has to be one for her mother and maybe one for herself. Duff finds one in Ben Feldman who is an old fashioned romantic soul for a 2005 high school kid from Brooklyn. As for mother, Duff also thinks she's found the perfect match in restaurant owner Chris Noth.So she starts conniving on how to make them meet and fall in love. But some misdirected e-mail has Locklear paired off with co-worker at the confectionery shop Mike O'Malley.Of course it all works out in the end as these movies always do, not without a few laughs and tears in those romantic film for both teens and adults. If you like romance, don't settle for anything less than A Perfect Man.

Well it was better than Material Girls but didn't compare to A Cinderella Story or Raise Your Voice.Me personally i like a little bit of drama in a movie... a character dies (the more important to the story line the better) they lose everything etc... therefore i enjoyed the fact she was new at the school and was so messed in the head after the mums failed relationships that she wanted to run away.umm to be honest i didn't like the hair styles Hilary was wearing. it made her look plain and boring...The story line was good... the acting was good ( a few cheesy lines not even Denzel could make believable) the drawing was wicked! Overall its worth a watch :) xSx87x

I don't know why in the first place I'm so obsessed to find an original copy for this movie. Seeing the trailer was a means of breakdown, a failure to my expectations. I was excited to watch the movie to consider Heather Locklear and Hilary Duff would be working in the same film, but the plot was quite unconvincing, however for some reason I could not totally hate it. The setting of the story was cute, fine and atmospheric, but the its feeble plot remind me of knocking my prospects once again instead of knocking my socks off. Nothing interesting so far, but a simple movie with half-wits, half drama and half phase turning enigmas.If you're in the mood this may spoil your disposition or maybe freeze your temper.
