I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

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

I absolutely loved this film! I have watched it time and time again! It has romance, comedy and a sense of fighting spirit between two people who have never met in the cut throat advertising world. In parts I felt I wanted to jump up and punch the sky in satisfaction! I felt this film was on par with the likes of Nottinghill and Four Weddings. The actors were well chosen for their roles and suit their parts terrifically. This film builds your enthusiasm for the pair to win the day and it cleverly takes you to the couple winning the day and the guy gets the girl! When I find a good film I love to watch it over and over and this film definitely falls into that category. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD!

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."

Lloyd and Susie both work for the same advertising agency, but he is in New York and she is in London. The company decides they need to trade places. Both have problems when they get to their destination, and their contacts with each other give no indication they would ever like each other. This isn't a case of two characters hating each other in such a way you know they will fall in love. I mean they really hate each other. But someone doesn't want this experiment to succeed, and once the discovery is made that they didn't plot against each other, the warmth between the characters develops.There was some frank sex talk which I felt was unnecessary. This came primarily from a relationship between Lloyd and a London friend of Susie.I don't like Rob Lowe to begin with, so it took me a while to warm up to this movie. But the investigation of what went wrong finally makes the movie interesting and enjoyable.
