5 Things You Can Expect From 'The Perfect Guy'

September 11, 2015 - 1:40 pm by Ashley Monaé TWITTER

A preview of the sexy stalker movie 'The Perfect Guy'

With September kicking off cuffing season, Sony and Screen Gem's The Perfect Guy will have you thinking twice before stamping someone your new boo.

Leah Vaughn (played by Sanaa Lathan)  has it all, at least from the outside looking in: a high brow job and a man–two things that are hard to come by these days it seems. But even with her promising position as a lobbyist and long term boyfriend Dave (Morris Chestnut), she still imagines more for herself. In her case, a family is the next life phase she's ready to enter but marriage and children aren't in the plans for Dave. After growing old of his shortcomings when it comes to commitment, Leah RIPs their relationship.

Shortly after, Leah rebounds with a sexually-charged relationship with Carter Duncan (Michael Ealy), a handsome IT guy who truly seems to be the perfect guy. Could it be after wasting so many years with Dave, she's finally found Mr. Right?

VIBE Vixen traveled to Beverly Hills, Calif. for a private screening and chatted with The Perfect Guy trio. Click through the slides above to peep five things you can expect from the film and stay tuned for the interview.

The Perfect Guy is in theaters nationwide today, Sept. 11.

The film offers an IRL glimpse into the creepy world of technology and dating. In one instance, Carter uses his undeniable looks and suave demeanor to mask his inner psycho. With all of the information shared on social media, no one is safe.

Lathan can take on any character handed to her, but we've mostly witnessed her in dominant, self-assured female roles. As Leah, we see Lathan flaunt her versatility and vulnerability as the victim.

Director David M. Rosenthal, Sanaa Lathan, Morris Chestnut, and Michael Ealy send you on a thrill ride of highs and lows. The film showcases both the dark and enlightening moments of the eery love triangle, including a few WTF scenes.

Ealy is known for playing the wholesome hearthrob in most movies, but for The Perfect Guy, he takes off his cool. Basically, he's the villian you hate to love. Watching Ealy take charge in his new role made it hard to turn your gaze away.
5. Serious levels of sexual tension

5. Serious levels of sexual tension

As if Ealy and Lathan weren't already two hot specimens, their hypersexual relationship goes from 0 to 100 real quick. One moment they're grinding in a reggae club and then, well, you know the rest.
