PERFECTLY SINGLE

Cinemavixion Review

Van Elder's "Perfectly Single" (2019) offers a charming, albeit familiar, exploration of self-discovery through the lens of romantic misadventures. The film centers on a socially awkward optometrist, brought to life with earnestness by Erica Hubbard, who, under pressure from her friends, embarks on a quest for happiness. This journey, peppered with comedic encounters, notably includes a dalliance with a younger love interest. However, the true heart of the narrative lies not in the romantic entanglements, but in the protagonist's personal growth and self-acceptance. While the plot treads ground well-worn by romantic comedies, the film succeeds thanks to its relatable portrayal of vulnerability and the eventual triumph of self-love. The supporting cast, featuring talents like J. Alphonse Nicholson and Omar Gooding, adds depth and humor to the proceedings, making "Perfectly Single" a feel-good watch that champions individuality.
