Memento Meets Dinner For Schmucks - I Loved it!

Warning: Spoilers
What can I say about this movie? I had not heard of it before last week. I know of David Hyde Pierce, and that he's from the show 'Frasier', but I don't remember him in any movie that I've seen. Some positive reviews(for the most part from sources that I've heard of) were on the cover, and I grabbed this off the shelf to round out my "4 new releases for 12.99" special. So, needless to say, I was anxious to see the movie, but did not have the highest expectations.

"The Perfect Host" is one of the most entertaining movies I've seen this year.

I thought the fun might be over after the first plot twist was revealed, but boy was I wrong. This film keeps spinning its' web for the duration, and you'll get a lot more out of this film than you would ever expect.

All I ask for with a movie is solid acting, keep me intrigued, and it would be a bonus if it was re-viewable. The Perfect Host delivers on all fronts. Pierce is fantastic, and should get more roles on the big screen.

Each character is constantly going through changes. The audience is still trying to figure them out long after the credits roll. The film covers its' plot bases even though some aspects of the film are a stretch to say the least.

This is a real hidden gem. Highly Recommended. Going on my 'B movie marathon' immediately.

You'll like this if you liked: Hard Candy, The Cable Guy, After Hours.
