...Despite its problems, entertaining snippets abound to counter the disappointing moments and clich‚s. Perfect Days is a romantic comedy blessed with some very witty lines-Barbs describes her uninterested male neighbor as having PGL, or Pointless Good Looks. Her mother Sadie and her friend Brendan have the funniest roles, a fact that neither actor takes for granted throughout each of their great deliveries.

Perry plays the nervous neighbor to perfection, but too often resorts to the antics of Chandler Bing on "Friends," and he is unwholly suited for the heroic turn he makes later in the movie. Bruce Willis plays the glamorous hitman a little too glamorously, and his comedic style appears to be to speak as little as possible while still looking glib and threatening. Having appeared...
