 The Perfect Man , starring Heather Locklear and Hilary Duff, is being offered up this weekend as "counterprogramming" to Batman Begins, which opened on Wednesday. Many critics suggest it really amounts to no competition at all. "The Perfect Man takes its idiotic plot and uses it as the excuse for scenes of awesome stupidity," writes Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times. Lou Lumenick in the New York Post scores it for its "sticky, straight-to-video caliber." Likewise Jami Bernard in the New York Post describes it as "this nondescript piffle." And Jan Stuart in Newsday proffers this advice: "If you are planning on seeing the new Hilary Duff comedy over Father's Day weekend, show Dad how much you care. Leave him home." |
