Reviews

Adam è un giornalista sempre in cerca di un buon "scoop" per la rivista "Rolling Stone" per cui lavora. Mentre è lanciato sulla pista di un uomo d'affari di assai dubbia reputazione - Joe Mckenzie - al quale riesce a strappare una esclusiva ed esplosiva intervista (con tanto di nastri registrati), il suo direttore lo invia in California per vedere che articolo si può fare in materia di aerobica. Così Adam, messi al sicuro i nastri relativi al primo e ben più impegnativo argomento, si dà un gran da fare negli ambienti del culturismo alla moda. Egli scopre un mondo in buona parte inesplorato, molto meno sportivo e pulito del credibile, contatta un'istruttrice dello "Sports connections", una palestra dove si fanno allenamenti massacranti (ma anche proficui e disinvolti incontri), si innamora di lei e ne è ricambiato, ma deve prometterle, comunque, che nel futuro servizio lei non comparirà nè con dichiarazioni, nè in fotografia. Jessie, infatti, la bionda docente, già in passato ebbe a fare spiacevoli esperienze per indiscrezioni giornalistiche. E Adam le fa una promessa formale. Tuttavia, proprio mentre all'udienza della Corte contro Mckenzie, Adam, rifiutandosi di esibire i nastri (che fanno gola anche al Servizio segreto), viene incriminato, la "Rolling Stone" ha la spregiudicata idea di pubblicare il suo servizio californiano, in un testo manipolato, deformato e, soprattutto, lesivo della sfortunata Jessie, la quale si ritrova tradita una seconda volta dalla stampa. Ma la coerenza e correttezza palesate da Adam nel processo, la convincono che il giornalista è stato vittima di una macchinazione. Assolto Mckenzie e rimesso Adam in libertà, i due si ritroveranno ai cancelli della prigione, più sicuri l'uno dell'altro e più innamorati che mai.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blow the dust off your gym equipment! 31 Jan 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Oh how I miss the eighties! a light-hearted, easy going, fun film with a few serious moments thrown in. It's an enjoyable blast from the past. Jaime Lee Curtis is just breathtakingly gorgeous and if you find the film a little cheesy, then the music should keep you entertained and in good spirits. '(Closest Thing To) perfect' by Jermaine Stewart, 'I Sweat (Going Through The Motions)' by Nona Hendryx and 'Hot Lips' by Lou Reed are just a few of the tracks on offer. You may even enjoy this film better if you watch whilst using that rowing machine or treadmill you bought a number of years ago. You know the ones gathering dust unused in the garage at the moment! A pleasent, enjoyable film. Enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Perfect is not perfect 12 Jan 2011
By The CinemaScope Cat TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A journalist (John Travolta) for Rolling Stone magazine works on two stories simultaneously. One, the case of a businessman (Kenneth Welsh) busted for drugs by the federal government and two, on the Los Angeles health club phenomenon which have turned into the singles bars of the 1980s. Based on an actual series of articles from Rolling Stone, PERFECT was much maligned when released and not undeservedly so, I doubt if anyone who has not lived through the L.A. gymrat obsession of turning working out into a social life in their quest for the body beautiful, will appreciate the film's ironies and wit (which granted, are few and far between). The film is weakened by splitting its focus into the two plot lines, both suffering and adding an already unnecessary length to the film. There's an amusing sequence with Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis (in sensational shape) as an aerobic instructor simulating sex while working out but the sequence goes on for far too long eventually wearing out its welcome. A little goes a long way. Directed by James Bridges (THE CHINA SYNDROME) and with Laraine Newman (who steals the film), Marilu Henner, Anne De Salvo, Jann Wenner, Lauren Hutton and Mathew Reed.

Fortunately, unlike its pan and scan U.S. counterpart, the British Sony DVD is in the proper anamorphic wide screen (2.35) ratio and a solid transfer.
