The Perfect Man is a 2005 American romantic comedy film directed by Mark Rosman and written by Gina Wendkos.

Single mother Jean relocates every time she gets her heart broken, much to her teenage daughter Holly's dismay.

After moving to Brooklyn, Holly devises a plan to invent a secret admirer for her, so she will be happy and not need to relocate again.

Overhearing her friend Amy's uncle Ben ordering flowers for a woman, Holly uses his advice on women (which she gets by telling him she needs help for a school project on romance), sending her mother orchids, other gifts and love notes, and is soon communicating with her mother as a fictitious admirer (who Holly names Ben) via the Internet.

Shooting for the film began in May 2004 and was based on screenwriter Heather Robinson's life in Tucson, Arizona, and ended the following July.

Carson Kressley missed two days of shooting on his reality makeover show, Queer Eye, due to filming on The Perfect Man overrunning.

The website's consensus reads: "Preposterous and predictable, The Perfect Man manages few laughs with its poorly paced sitcom script, cookie-cutter characters and contrived plotting.

"[3] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 27 out of 100, based on 29 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.
