Looking for a way to waste an evening? Do you like films that lack any pretense of believability? Do you like having everything explained to you in the final ten minutes of a movie? Do you enjoy watching movies that are all about the plot, even when the plot doesn't know where it's going?

If so, Perfect Stranger may be the perfect movie for you. I tell you, there is more believability in any one episode of Perfect Strangers than there is in this movie. If you desire a movie that throws out the idea of suspension of disbelief and goes straight to the disbelief, this will likely top your best movies of 2007 list. However, if you are a little more discerning in your movie selection, you are going to want to look elsewhere.

For some reason, I was under the assumption that this was going to be halfway decent. Sure, I was exhausted of seeing the trailer at just about every movie I've seen over the mast couple of months, but it looked like it had an interesting concept going for it. Not a terribly original concept, mind you, but a concept does not have to be entirely original to be a good movie.

What we are faced with is a movie that sports poor acting in an effort to purposely mislead the audience. It sets up the shocking twist ending which successfully negates everything that has come before it, essentially rendering the viewing of the movie to be completely unnecessary.

The movie opens with the obligatory scene that sets up just who Halle Berry is and what her character does, which sets up what she is going to be doing for most of the movie. Halle Berry is Rowena, an investigative reporter who has made a career out of donning false identities to uncover her stories.

The story goes south from the beginning. Rowena immediately finds herself confronted with another opportunity to use her skills of deception, only this time on something of a more personal mission, but one that also holds the potential for a great news story - her ticket back to the top.
