Trailer Synopsis Cast

Perfect Timing is the story of Harry Crane, an infamous photographer whose sublime and evocative images single-handedly reshaped and rebuilt the boudoir and fitness industries. But, having made his mark, allowed the artist within to be released. Creatively and artistically, Harry has moved on; his work now consisting of portraits and interpreting rock wall fractals. Of course that meant leaving the professional schlock of commercial advertising behind him. Sounds good. Except there's that pesky issue of money. And Harry and his buds are quickly burning through large quantities of it. Bottom line - he's nearly broke and faces eviction.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

IMDb mark: 7This movie, and everything it stands for, is one of the reasons why I am sad that the '80s are gone. It's a silly little comedy, which shows every single attractive female in it naked or, at least, topless. Now, how can a man not like this?-Humour: Surprisingly, there are some nice, funny lines in this skin flick. I guarantee, you will chuckle, at least a couple of times. 13/25-Physical Comedy: 'Perfect Timing' isn't that bad in this department, either. Just wait till you see Ziggy lighting a cigarette with a blowtorch! Actually, just wait till you see Ziggy! I'm kidding, he's not that funny-looking. But you be the judge... 11/20-Plot: A nice girl, Charlotte, is trying to help two brothers raise the money they need to keep their loft, in which they had and have many amorous adventures. But the older brother is giving her a hard time, because he's an eccentric artist. 11/15-Ending: I liked the ending a lot. I thought it was perfect for the movie. Of course, taste varies. 10/10-Theme: Well, what do you know, 'Perfect Timing' has a theme, too! Sometimes, all you need is right in front of you. Doesn't blow you away but, in the case of this movie, who cares? 7/10-Nudity: In order of disrobing: Judy, Karen, Bonnie, then Bonnie again, Judy again, Lacy, Judy once again, Bonnie once again, Salina and Charlotte; and then there's the final orgy (read: music video), where you can see even more women topless. Also, there is this girl, Leslie, who is stuck naked inside a body cast, and spends the entire movie in various stages of 'progress', if you wish to call it that. 8/8-Cast: Michele Scarabelli is the only member of the cast I had heard of. 1/8-Genre: This is a comedy. 4/4-->Overall: 65/100You may think the mark I gave this movie is too high. It sure is, if you always want to see Oscar material. But, as a guy, I have to say that this is quite funny at times and pretty enjoyable if you have nothing to do. From Swordlord, 2 swords up!

For a long time it seemed like all the good Canadian actors had headed south of the border and (I guessed) all the second rank ones filled the top slots and that left the dregs for the sex comedies.This film was a real surprise: despite the outlandish plots that are typical of farces, the actors seemed to be trying to put something into their characters and what we, the viewer, got back was almost true suspension of belief. When the extras from the music video attacked the evicting police, you almost believed it was possible.If you are a fan of some of the better sex farces (Canadian or not) you should definitely seek this one out. And the big surprise, this sex farce is also loaded with some very good nudity.

This movie reminds me of the popular films of Spanish director Pedro Almodovar (sic). His films were like this: ribald sex comedies filled with outlandish characters, mundane plots turned ridiculous, and surprisingly good taste. This was job well done by the Canadians who created this one.The story of two brothers, one of whom is trying to prevent the loss of his home by eviction while the other one just uses the pad to get women to sleep with him when his girlfriend is away, is well done. The acting is quite good. Still, the excesses of the 80's are apparent: Music is heard 70 percent of the time in the background. There are a couple of musical numbers. The people dress in crazy outfits. Still, not a bad time waster. I will say this, I wouldn't blame the Lothario Crane brother for cheating on his girlfriend; if I had to deal with someone with an annoying voice, a smoking habit, and an affinity for not wearing underwear, I'd be looking elsewhere, too.
