The weight of being “perfect”
is about to catch up with thirty-something Vanessa (Kelly Hu — White
Frog, Vampire Diaries, Army Wives, etc.) and crush her like
a bug in writer/director Bertha Bay-Sa Pan’s delightful romantic comedy, Almost
Perfect … due out on DVD this coming Oct. 22 from Virgil Films &
Entertainment.
Imagine waking up one day
and looking in the mirror and not really recognizing the person staring back at
you. That’s pretty much where Vanessa
finds herself these days. She’s been
living in an echo chamber of familial adulation — you’re amazing, you’re
perfect, you’re wonderful.
Everyone suddenly turns
to her for solutions when her high-strung sister, Charlene (Christina Chang),
starts to come unwound, her slacker brother, Andy (Edison Chen), ends up on her
couch and a parental crisis blows up after her do-this, do-that mom tosses dad
out of the house.
Each one would be manageable (oh god, I’m not becoming my mom, am I?), if it weren’t for a friend from her past suddenly entering her life — Dwayne (Ivan Shaw). Things begin to click between them and it is then, and only then, that the load gets too heavy and the “who-am-I” crisis really kicks in and the fun begins (for the audience that is, not for poor Vanessa)!
Vanessa, hint: just be yourself,
it will all work out! Almost
Perfect is well-written, keenly observed and the ensemble cast is
outstanding.
