Perfect Opposites Audience Reviews

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Sherazade As much as I love the perpetual eye-candy known as Mr. Martin Henderson, I couldn't stomach this movie at all. Piper 'Julia Roberts wanna-be' Perabo is a very irritating excuse for an actress (I've only liked her in one role from her entire career thus far and I've forgotten the title of that film so don't ask) trust me I gave this one my all but I stopped watching after 15 minutes because I felt like I was wasting my time. I didn't like the fact that Martin's character was doing a voice-over either as that sort of thing is flipping' clichéd. He kept pausing and rewinding scenarios as if watching it once wasn't torture enough. Please save yourselves and watch something better instead of this fluff.
Claudio Carvalho In the Midwest of USA, the sweethearts Drew (Martin Henderson) and Julia (Piper Perabo) are graduating in the college. Drew convinces Julia to move with him to Los Angeles, where his sister Terri (Kathleen Wilhoite) lives and got a job for him. The young couple become close friends of their neighbors Elyse (Jennifer Tilly) and Lenny Steinberg (Artie Lange), who owns a small real estate business. However, the immature Drew breaks the relationship with Julia, afraid of the consequences of their commitment."Perfect Opposites" is a little gem in the genre of romantic comedy. The cute story presents funny, romantic and dramatic situations in right doses and pace, and has a very appropriate inconclusive end. The chemistry of Martin Henderson and Piper Perabo together of the humor of Jennifer Tilly and Artie Lange and good lines make this sweet movie a surprisingly great entertainment, and therefore highly recommended for fans of a delightful romantic comedy. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Opostos Perfeitos" ("Perfect Opposites")
mich317-1 I loved this movie! Usually these test screenings are painful for me because I am a critical person. This movie worked for me on so many levels-chiefly the casting was flawless and their performances hugely satisfying. What is most surprising is that the movie succeeds in creating that old fashioned romantic comedy where the leads are true 'movie stars'. You love them because they have charisma, screen presence and chemistry and you simply can't look away! In these movies, the supporting players are true character actors that, due to the generosity of the leads, steal every bit scene they're in. It's been years since a romantic comedy has had any success or appeal to me. Usually these are tortured films with post-Freudian/post-modern angst attempting to re-invent the genre by making the leads as unattractive and neurotic as filmmakers think audiences can relate to. "Love and Sex" is a case on point of the nadir post-whatever romantic comedy. This film stars the improbable coupling of the ex-bond girl/Woody Allen alum/model Famke Jansen struggling to be modern in NYC and having a warm and fuzzy time with Jon Favreau the once favorite anti-movie star. Or "Happy Accidents" the Marisa Tomei-Vincent D'onofrio romantic comedy which suffers from and even greater desperate need to attenuate the genre by making its lead a space alien without having watched the wonderful "Starman" with Jeff Bridges for pointers. These and others like them represent the soulless grasping of clueless filmmakers trying to re- invent the wheel only to end up with a sloppy, narcissistic acting exercises on tape.It seems to me that these "quirky" indie romances have a chip on their shoulder; as if they had been backed up into an angry corner, screaming their head off. Their look and style is usually suffocating and claustrophobic. I found "Piece of my Heart" refreshing and familiar, the way old fashioned movies with their movie stars and predictable formulas always promised a good time, a true escape. At the screening there were a group of fourteen year old girls. The film had been an obvious success with them and someone commented that they were the true audience of this film. I disagree. I have sat through films designed for this demographic, replete with ribald fart jokes and enough stupidity and insincerity to last them through High School. " A Piece of my Heart" is too sincere and guileless too do that. It succeeds despite the obstacles of a jaded 'post-modern' audience because it truly has the elusive ingredient that love stories (no matter when) have always reached for-Chemistry!And yet, as old fashioned as it seems it has such verve and modern flair. The characters are totally contemporary. The look is a fun kaleidoscope of LA living. The editing has all the wit and modern vernacular youth culture has come to expect and love. All that is no simple achievement in my estimation. What comes through is true movie magic!
Christopher Nash Recently at the movies, there hasn't been a lot of GOOD romantic comedies without either being 1) cheesy and predictable, or 2) sappy and not funny. A Piece of my Heart (aka My Last First Date) not only has some great scenes about the 'truth of dating', it also provides some comical fillers and connections between the lives of all the characters. Based from the play 'Heart', this script had many truthful analogies about what each sex is thinking. It covers both sides of a relationship (Martin Henderson and Piper Perabo) and then gains more insight from the friends watching the relationship. This movie is brutally honest and I believe that EVERYONE who goes to see this movie will say (at least once), 'That's happened to me before'. Finally, it's a good romantic comedy since last year.
