What makes it different from others?

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Having read the book by Sisman, it's such a shame that they wasted such talented actors.The script and some of the overly crazy idea camera shots are completely wrong and do not do the novel justice.Anna Friel's funny looking California tan (odd with the slightly red brown hair)looks about as authentic as the the scriptwriter..was it their first job? One has to wonder.It is overly sentimental in parts, some additions make the movie much more interesting in detail such as additional animals.The novel gives little nuances of romance that the reader falls for and the same small hints do not completely convert to screen well..the sofa-bed conversation in Picture Perfect was much better conceived and carried out.Anna Friel is also in need of a very American wonder bra in parts- they could have incorporated an appropriate/not-so-subtle advert into the movie.The essentials are nevertheless there but if you love the book I advise caution.. I didn't mind it, would I watch it again? Maybe, if I was incredibly bored and stuck without anything to do after 36 hours - yeah, then I would. Obviously after watching other good-better movies I own I might give it a go but to be honest I'm more tempted to watch Ghostbusters or My Girl...Watch and decide for yourself!

The movie is funny and exciting, really delightful.. I was in Santiago, Chile last January for 3 months.. I bought this movie from a street vendor never heard of it before and with good reason, no DVD exists.. I can't believe this movie never made it to theaters.. I'd consider this movie better than any movies being advertised now.. well except for "The Eye" but then even that isn't original, an americanized version of the truly brilliant Cantonese version.. anyways sidetracked.. like I said Perfect Strangers is just about the cutest movie ever a must-see.. It's not sappy it pokes fun and is witty.. and I personally can't get enough

Perfects Strangers is no more than a typical, predictable, and nonsense romantic movie that I have seen million of times. Staring Rob and Anna Friel as an advertisers that get to swap job between New York and London. There they consult each other through the various phone conversation before they fall in love along the way.The main reason to watch this movie got to be the casts, they are all too good for this movie. The main reason I watch because it got Anna Frail and Rob, this movie doesn't do them justice. The directing is too blame, it was not not good at all and the cinematography make this movie look like as if it has been shot in the '80s. And the story was not very consistence, it s just too sense less and going no where. And some of the character are just too shallow. And the music doesn't go along with the movie at all.Overall, despite a low expectation – the movie is even lower than that. But it is all that bad, half way into the movie it started to get a little better and it become more watchable. But in the end you won't miss a single thing if you haven't seen it and if you seen it you will forget about it in next hours.Reason To Watch: Anna Frail Reason Not To: Seem Like A Waste Of Time.Rating: 3.5/10 (Grade: F).Please Rate After Read (Y/N) Thanks

The book is called "Summer in the City" by Robyn Sisman. It's pretty good. I had actually seen this movie on TV, and thought it was pretty cute. (I like Rob Lowe, I think he's underrated as an actor). ANYWAY, I had read another book by this author, "Weekend in Paris," and picked this one up not even realizing it was the basis for the TV movie. The movie keeps the two main character's names, the advertising agency, the co-worker sabotaging the Rob Lowe character--the basic plot, but the details differ somewhat (such as the ad account that is jeopardized). It was a cute movie, and pretty good read as a book. If you like "chick-lit."
