The movie is good! I did feel like they ruined his (Carter ) character in the movie a bit too soon. It would have been a great plot twist to allow the 2 (Leah & Carter) to grow closer then maybe have Cater start to grow jealous of her Ex.
It was ruined so suddenly at the gas station and things shifted really fast!
If his good guy character could have lasted a little longer, things would have been more intriguing.

Little cliche story but with real psycho creepy staff. Dramatic.

You can't judge a book by its cover – or people by first impressions. Both are truisms that I've seen play out often – in my life and in the lives of others. Excellent art work doesn't necessarily mean that the book underneath that cover is any good (or the movie behind the poster, for that matter). More importantly, when looking for a life partner, regardless of how charming the man, or alluring the woman, what's underneath is what matters in the long run – and the best way to make life-defining judgments about a potential mate will always be T-I-M-E. The problem comes in when the cover of that book is so utterly impressive that you commit to reading it, but end up regretting it – or when you go ahead and put in the time, then start to sense that you won't like that last chapter. These are the kinds of situations that become real problems for the main character in "The Perfect Guy" (PG-13, 1:40).
Leah Vaughn (Sanaa Lathan) has it all well, most of it anyway. She has good looks, a devoted boyfriend and a great job as a lobbyist in L.A. What she doesn't have is a life-long commitment from her man. At the age of 36, and after two years of dating Dave (Morris Chestnut), Leah decides that she's tired of waiting for him to decide when he's ready to marry her and start a family. She tells Dave to leave, and again finds herself alone, but not for long. She meets another very eligible bachelor, but this one seems to know exactly what he wants. Carter Duncan comes off as charming, kind and generous as he is good-looking and sexy. He quickly earns Leah's affections, impresses her friends (Rutina Wesley and Kathryn Morris) and wins over her father (Charles S. Dutton). Carter really does seem to be the perfect guy.
Then Leah cracks open that book. Carter soon shows that, underneath his cover, he has some serious imperfections. Leah thinks it's best to close the book on this initially very promising relationship. Carter doesn't quite accept her decision. Harassment, stalking and some very creepy behavior follows. Then, Dave re-enters the picture. He asks for, and gets, another chance at being Leah's forever man. Carter likes this development even less than the restraining order that Leah sent his way. Now we have a full-blown love triangle – and one of these men turns out to be full-blown crazy. A sympathetic police detective (Holt McCallany) does everything he can to protect Leah, and her neighbor (Tess Harper) looks out for her, but Leah ends up having to figure a way out of her situation mostly by herself.
"The Perfect Guy" is formulaic, fairly predictable – and fun. We've seen this basic story in "Fatal Attraction" (1987), "Sleeping with the Enemy" (1991), "Double Jeopardy" (1999), "Enough" (2002), etc., all the way up to 2015's "The Boy Next Door" and beyond, but this one earns its place among those earlier films. The dialog is crisp and real and, for a nice change, the script doesn't portray the cops as indifferent and powerless (although some moviegoers may feel that the extent to which one detective helps Leah sends a dangerous message). This film nicely updates the genre by showing the very real perils of being a stalk-ee in the early 21st century. Rarely have an obsessed lover's actions been more unsettling, more intrusive and more frightening than in this film. For her part, Leah's dignity, spirit and resourcefulness are also very impressive. A very solid supporting cast back up the excellent performances of the three main characters, and all three are also pretty easy on the eye. (Plus, it's nice to see more ethnic diversity in the thriller genre.) "The Perfect Guy" may not be a perfectly original movie, but its appealing cast, smart script and well-constructed story make it worth a look. "B+"

In more recent years we have had 'THE BOY NEXT DOOR (2015)' with Jennifer Lopez 'OBSESSED (2009)' with Idris Elba and 'NO GOOD DEED (2015)' also with Idris Elba but playing against Taraji P Henson instead of Beyonce.
You know the charming stranger who's actually slightly insane kind of movie that attempts at being both thrilling and sexy.
And where as I enjoyed the aforementioned movies I can't say the same about this one.
It's not the worst of it's kind or anything but it's so unremarkable in every way, there isn't even scenes that could make it enjoyable in 'so bad it's good' kind of way either, it's just really bland.
And that's a shame because I like all the main actors in it MICHAEL EALY, SANNA LATHAN and MORRIS CHESTNUT are all accomplished actors in other films, but the problem with this movie is granted not the cast but the script.
As you can probably understand 'the perfect guy' is not all that perfect, but he's so incredibly hollowly written. The twist is so out of the blue and it doesn't make any sense with how the character has been portrayed until this point. And the reaction, everything just goes way to quick. 'I don't know who you are anymore!' cringe-alert.
But that's not to say if the transition would have been a more smoother and natural one that it would have been much better.
As far as the sexiness goes, Sanna Lathan shows more skin on the poster than she does in the movie.
So yeah, not even that can they get right.

"I saw him beat someone badly, just for talking to me." Leah (Lathan) and her boyfriend have different plans for the future and decide to split up. When she meets the charismatic and charming Carter (Ealy) she easily falls for him. He says and does everything perfect, but when she sees his dark side things change. Afraid of what he may do next Leah breaks up with him, but Carter doesn't let go so easy. This is a really good movie that could have been so much better. The movie gets really close to the tenseness it is striving for, but ends up falling short. Carter does do some very scary and terrifying things, but nothing that hasn't been seen before. The movie really left a lot on the table that would have really helped it out and made the movie as tense as the filmmakers wanted it to be. The movie is good and I liked it better then No Good Deed, but it was just too cliché to really have the impact it wanted. Overall, not bad and worth watching, but not as tense as it could have been. I give it a B-.

While the actors are great, the script is so bad it turns them into B- grade actors. I feel bad for them since I know they can act well.
This is like the time Natalie Portman did Star Wars. Shes a great actor but the script was so bad her acting turned wooden.
If they made the lines less lame and predictable, this may be just barely watchable.
I cringed a lot. But I watched the whole thing hoping it would get better. It doesn't.
It's like watching a bad teen novel-turned-movie.
I'm embarrassed for this movie.

I went to see this movie based on various recommendations from friends. Inam a sucker for a good thriller. The actor mix is perfect and , even though some parts are predictable, you will definitely enjoy the movie. I loved the main trio and their performances. This movie can be considered a life lesson because you don't really know who is that you are dating out there. Watch till the end,nice twists.
I liked that the characters are not typical and that some boundaries are actually pushed in this movie. I went w my bf and a friend and all three of us agreed it is a nice movie, different than all the usual ones .

The worst thing the acclaimed 1987 drama "Fatal Attraction" ever did was make future films revolving around obsessions in relationships suffer by comparison. It seems that whatever films come out revolving around a crush that turns into a lethal obsession, all that needs to be done is reference the classic drama, claim it's better and always will be, and after that, there's no reason to take the successor in question seriously.
While "The Perfect Guy" is far from a solid film, and bears some glaring shortcomings, it has a certain level of appeal that kicks in around the third act, making it morph into a more lively thriller than others of the genre. The film focuses on Leah Vaughn (Sanaa Lathan), a successful woman working in corporate America, who has been building an equally successful relationship with her boyfriend David (Morris Chestnut). One day, however, she recognizes the fact that she's approaching forty and is still unmarried and childless, leading to spontaneously break up with David in the face of an early on-set midlife crisis.
Not long after, Leah meets Carter (Michael Ealy), a suave, charming stranger at a coffee shop, who gives her his iced latte before her's is served. They meet later that night once more, as fate would have it, and Carter romanticizes her with his selfless words and his incredibly easygoing nature and begin dating. However, when a harmless stranger at a gas station is mistaken for a creep and Carter responses with uncompromising brutality, Leah cuts him off from her life. As a result, Carter makes numerous advances towards Leah, taking no for an answer each time, resorting to following her and calling her throughout the day. Leah enlists in the help of Detective Hansen (Holt McCallany), who explains how difficult it is to persecute a rampant stalker without concrete evidence of life-threatening harassment, all while Carter's behavior never lets up.
The acting in "The Perfect Guy" is uniformly shaky, with Lathan and Chestnut clearly doing their best to work on a basic level with what screenwriter Tyger Williams has given them. Williams concocts an emotionally obvious screenplay, with predictable dialog that handcuffs its actors to delivering the bare-basics in casual conversation (the PG-13 rating also doesn't help too much). The actors that do take their roles to another level, however, are Michael Ealy and Holt McCallany. Ealy's smug facial expressions, likable smile, and sexy charisma make him almost irresistibly attractive from the first frame he's in, and even when he shows his despicable ways, he is still a fascinating character. His performance may not be groundbreaking, but it works because he exploits it for what it is. Also very talented but unlikely to share what little acclaim this film will find is McCallany, whose serious and even-tempered demeanor work wonders when paired with Lathan in the film's later scenes. Consider the off-duty advice Hasen gives Leah in a diner one afternoon, perfectly asserting himself as no longer a supporting character, but an off-kilter presence.
Finally, there's the frustrating element of reversing how we should look at a character halfway through the film. In the beginning, Williams and director David M. Rosenthal positions the scene where Leah breaks up with David as if we're supposed to side Leah, for she is unsatisfied and is looking to advance her life while David is treading water and keeping things simple. However, when Carter, the rebound, turns into a persistent stalker, all of a sudden, we are supposed to quietly condemn the actions of Leah, right after we were positioned to root for her in her ability to impulsively give up financial and relationship security. The same mistake is made in Tyler Perry "Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor," albeit to a much greater extent.
At the end of it all, "The Perfect Guy" still serves as competent entertainment, particularly when it disregards a lot of the acting and screen writing shakiness for consuming suspense in the final forty minutes. It reminds me a lot of last year's "No Good Deed" (which came out this same weekend), in that the film takes a familiar story, but through a couple of solid performances and a strong dose of suspense, the film winds up being serviceable entertainment with a bit more to offer than mindless energy.

How on earth this has got any good reviews is beyond me it was utter trash! The music that was on constantly sounded like it was from a bad 70s horror film!! I was constantly waiting for some axe murderer in a mask to show up as that's what the music made it sound like.
The acting was awful and the writing terrible some of the cheesy lines the main characters were spouting off seriously was making me cringe, and I like cheesy movies!
Ican't comment on the ending as I turned it off before the end, and I NEVER do that I always watch things to the end even if I don't like the film as I always want to know how it ends but I couldn't bring myself to watch any more as it was so boring so cringe and I couldn't take any more, it was that bad! Don't waste your time watching this.

All those thrillers are not only predictable, but sort of by the numbers most of the time. So it's not that bad if a movie can surprise you a couple of times. And while this never promised "steamy hot scenes" like the one with Jennifer Lopez, that were too hot for the rating board (self proclaimed and don't fall for that), it does have other winning factors. For guys it's the main actress and for women it's the two main guys, for various reasons (of course some men will like the male talent at hand and some women our female hero, I was talking majority).
Still there is some saving factors, though not so much the ever so good Charles S. Dutton who doesn't have much to do in this. No nudity involved but "steamy" situations, if that is something you are looking forward to. Also very nice eyes (Mr. Ealy that is)

This felt like watching a middle-school play as far as the script and acting goes. I gave it a shot as it came up on auto-play after watching a different movie on Hulu (read: I was too lazy to change the "channel" so I left it playing). The beginning wasn't awful, so I'd hoped it would turn out to be a decent film.
It got bad quickly, however. I just could not get over the awful acting and horrendous dialogue. The plot itself was a bit ridiculous too: although not entirely implausible, it was just over-the-top.
I won't spoil anything just in case, but I can't recommend this movie.

The premise is of course very cliché: a woman falls for a guy who turns out to be less perfect than he looked like, with serious anger issues and psychopathic behavior, and after she breaks up with him he begins to stalk and threaten her (and far worse!). Personally I don't mind a cliché that much, if it's done at least in an involving way, with a qualitative solid story and some fine acting. That's all the case in this movie. Leah (Sanaa Lathan) is beautiful and sympathetic, so you really care for her, and she gradually turns into this determined not-to-mess-with power woman, while Mr. (not so) Perfect (Michael Ealy) is at first smooth and charming, but soon after turns into a very convincing and blood chillingly dangerous creep. The movie has a good pace, there's some serious violence and the acting in the few supporting roles is fine.
So you care less that - as always in this type of movies - there are several illogical things. Like why didn't this intelligent and sophisticated woman do some internet research about this guy, before getting involved. Or change her locks. Or install a security system. Or hire a private detective. I could go on like this, but in the end it hardly marred my pleasure.

The perfect guy is the kind of flick your girlfriend is half way through watching when you get home and even though you know exactly what will happen scenes before they do, you sit down and watch the rest with your partner as it chugs along.
This was a flick I always said to watch when I wasn't there and I found myself enjoying it.
It's well paced, some solid supporting cast and the escalation of the antagonist doesn't feel forced.
Give it a shot.... When there's nothing else.

This movie was slow, boring and predictable. Good actors but poor storyline. It wasn't worth the cost of admission. The story line had a concept with potential that should have been developed more. Morris Chestnut and Michael Ealy as leading men were good eye candy. The interaction between these two should have been expanded. Issues involving stalking, technology, domestic violence, opposing expectations & irresponsible sexual liaisons could have been explored more. Unfortunately, the writers or producers went for cliché instead of giving the viewers something new and exciting or socially responsible.
On a positive note, the sets were beautiful. Overall, I really didn't like this movie.

I recently watched The Perfect Guy (2015) on Tubi. The storyline follows a woman who is ready for children, but her boyfriend isn't, leading them to break up. As she reenters the dating scene, she meets what seems to be the perfect guy, only to discover he has anger issues and becomes a stalker. Can she escape his clutches before something terrible happens?
Directed by David M. Rosenthal (How it Ends), the film stars Sanaa Lathan (Alien vs. Predator), Michael Ealy (Barbershop), Morris Chestnut (The Bestman), Charles S. Dutton (A Time to Kill) and L. Scott Caldwell (The Fugitive).
The acting, storyline, and overall setup of this movie feels authentic and well-executed. While some scenes may come across as a bit overboard, Michael Ealy's portrayal, though occasionally on the overacted side, effectively establishes an intense and conniving character, at times subtly and at times overtly. While there are predictable moments, credit is due to Ealy for creating a character with depth and intensity. Lathan and Chestnut deliver solid characters too. The film also delivers some enjoyable twists and turns toward the end, along with unexpectedly ruthless scenes.
In conclusion, The Perfect Guy is an entertaining thriller that may not be outstanding but is certainly worth a watch. I would rate this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

My review is on a drama, thriller movie that took you on a roller-coaster ride. In the movie Leah (Sanaa Lathan) a 36 year old lobbyist in L.A breaks up with her boyfriend Dave (Morris Chestnut) because of a decision they couldn't agree on. She moves on to find what she thinks is a better man named Carter (Micheal Ealy) thinking he is the man of her dreams. As days pass and their relationship grows stronger, true sides of their personalities begin to show and the man that Leah thinks Carter is turns out to be the complete opposite of her hopes. You won't believe the ups, downs, twists, and turns of the movie called "The Perfect Guy" directed by David M. Rosenthal. David M. Rosenthal did a wonderful job in directing. From picking great actress to having a good script and also having the movie relate to other well-known movies, in my opinion this is the best movie I have seen in a long time. Talk about David picking good actress, Sanaa Lathan, she is one gorgeous eye candy for me who love women and is very talented. As for Morris Chestnut, he plays a very good role at being a family man. He plays the family man in many familiar movies such as "Not Easily Broken" and "The Best Man Holiday." And That Michael Ealy, can you say one of a kind. Michael can play many different roles like stalking, to cold-hearted, to even being a loving, kind man. These 3 together in a movie is like a dream come true. No matter what type of movie they are playing in together the movie is going to be off the chain. Any script that's handed to them is acted out with all they got. The script that they acted out in this movie was awesome. Most movies have a lot of profanity or unpleasing words that makes you disgusted and not want to watch it anymore but this movie was very enjoyable and entertaining to watch. It reminds you of so many different movies with twists of love, thriller, and drama such as "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate" directed by Martin Lawrence and "Obsessed" directed by Steve Shill. In conclusion, this is my favorite movie of all time. In my opinion, the movie was great and there need to be more movies to come out just like this one. I feel if you have never seen this movie that you need to go see it as soon as possible. It just came out this year, September 2015, so it is not too late. If you aren't one of those people to go to the movie theater make sure you buy it on DVD because this is worth money and the trip to Walmart, Target, Kmart, etc. You can miss any movie in the world that comes out after this one but be sure not to miss this one. "The Perfect Guy" will have you on the edge of your seat with anticipation.

This movie is so bad that it was hard to watch. There are two kinds of bad movies, one where everything is so bad that they are not trying to hide it, and second when it is bad and they are trying to be serious at it makes it 10 times more worse!
I am not speaking about actors or quality of movie, I am speaking about scenario! Seriously who has written the scenario? Even me who have seen only a few C.S.I. TV show series can tell that this movie is really badly made, police looks like monkeys who has no idea what they are doing nor what to do. And even some characters are made so dumb that it makes me ask questions about their sanity, and not because of their personalities, but because of their actions or well lets better say, no actions! Well it is not like it is a giant waste of time it is actually a giant screw up!
I am not speaking about actors or quality of movie, I am speaking about scenario! Seriously who has written the scenario? Even me who have seen only a few C.S.I. TV show series can tell that this movie is really badly made, police looks like monkeys who has no idea what they are doing nor what to do. And even some characters are made so dumb that it makes me ask questions about their sanity, and not because of their personalities, but because of their actions or well lets better say, no actions! Well it is not like it is a giant waste of time it is actually a giant screw up!
