Did anyone else notice how much of the plot was borrowed from the movie Mermaids? I thought it was really similar, but lightened up a bit.

I was going to post the same thing -that I liked this movie a lot better when it was called Mermaids. The only difference is the hair color.
shareJust saw Mermaids and was going to say the same thing.

I thought mermaids was an awful film.
I have nothing to say and I'm saying it and that is poetry
You know, I've heard a lot of people say the two movies are similar, but I just don't see it. The Perfect Man was definitely a lot lighter, and in Mermaids, the mother and daughter had a much more abnormal relationship. That's not to say that Holly and Jean didn't have their issues, but it was just different.
Also, in Mermaids, the much younger sister was the person who helped keep the mother and older daughter together, since they both loved her, and she was "the one thing they agreed on." That wasn't a main premise at all in The Perfect Man. To say nothing of the fact that Hilary Duff and Winona Ryder did not play the same kind of character at all.
I'm not trying to bash those who find some similarities. Heck, I haven't even seen Mermaids in a really long time, so maybe I need to watch it again to form a better opinion.
