| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekCouldn't the studio have done the decent thing and released it directly to slumber parties? |
| Denver PostMichael BoothDuff has found a formula that works, on TV or on screen, as a loving, loyal and slightly confused high schooler. |
| NewsdayJan StuartBoys get Batman and Luke Skywalker. Girls get Little Suzy Matchmaker. If I had to subsist on a steady diet of Hilary Duff and Amanda Bynes, I'd be looking into sex-change specialists. |

| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyHollywood cranks out another prosaic teen-girl-romantic-comedy from its bottomless cultural vacuum in this Hilary Duff vehicle that no non-female person over the age of 12 should suffer through. |

| ComingSoon.netScott ChitwoodThe Perfect Man does have some amusing moments to offer thanks to a good supporting cast and a story that sets up some fun scenes. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyTyler HanleyDespite a charismatic turn by Heather Locklear and comic relief from Carson Kressley, The Perfect Man is far from the perfect movie. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovThis is a monumentally bad film, the kind that only comes along once in, oh, I don't know... Three years? Five? |
