1985….Like a Jackie Collins novel….a bad year
SPOILER: “The Hitcher” (young C. Thomas Howell) and “Risky Business” came out, Wes Craven was doing his “Nightmare on Elm Street” series…so what did we young people have for drama? This.

If you need a laugh now, you may want to tune in. While Jamie Lee Curtis tries to elevate this, it is simply not elevate-able.

Laraine Newman and Marilu Henner are gym groupies with no self-esteem, (Marilu gets the Chippendale man though, so it’s all good). John Travolta as a semi-literate writer at “Rolling Stone”. (We know he is good, because in the end he goes to jail for protecting a source). There are some scenes with Jann Wenner and Lauren Hutton, apparently the then in-crowd, at a party.

The really sad part about this is that there really were people like this; the gym was a sense of self-esteem;(along with anorexia). Aerobics class became the next singles hang-out as the song “Masquerade” blares out, while everyone obsesses over plastic surgery and the perfect body (The Laraine Newman character is particularly pathetic).

We see the superficiality. Has anything changed? Indeed, they could remake this with Jessica Simpson as the lead. Someone get on the phone to CAA!.

Come on, its not that bad!
Really, “Perfect” is not the tactical warhead everyone seems to be implying. This is not on the same level as 80s catastrophes like “Megaforce”, “Grease 2”, “Howard the Duck”, or (heaven help us) “Staying Alive”. “Perfect” is nothing more than tragic misfire from extremely talented director James Bridges (“The Paper Chase”, “Urban Cowboy”) that makes the dire mistake of treating the aerobics, health club fad of the mid-80s as a serious cultural phenomenon (ugh).

It also helped to derail John Travolta’s career for the better part of a decade – sad, because all one has to do is take a look at his outstanding performances in “Blow Out” and “Urban Cowboy” and realize that his acting in “Perfect” was just fine (if a bit low key). It’s a shame, he could have made a lot of great movies while he was stuck in dreck like “The Experts” and strange late 80s Altman theatre pieces like Pinter’s “The Dumb Waiter” (with Tom Conti!).

Travolta plays a Rolling Stone journalist hot on the trail of a big story about how health clubs are the new pick-up joints, replacing singles bars. He meets “The Pied Piper of aerobics teachers” Jamie Lee Curtis, a former Olymic swimmer who was once burned by a journalist over a piece about how she was having an affair with her coach. Of course, she and Travolta hook up and Travolta meets some other folks who frequent the gym, who are like supporting characters in a David Lynch movie (I’m unsure if the director intended to portray them as weird as they come off).

Real-life Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner shows up to essentially play himself (not very well) and, in the film’s most laughable detail, Travolta writes a version of his story portraying health clubs as Emersonian watering holes of the future (or something like that).

It’s all kind of bloated and weird, but really not that bad. Travolta’s actually pretty good. Jamie Lee Curtis looks great but comes off as slightly grouchy, but she was probably directed that way.

Don’t miss Travolta’s notorious pelvic thrust sequence (you can’t miss it).
