In 1985, Hollywood had high hopes for Perfect, a film designed to blend star power, cutting-edge production, and a culturally relevant storyline. With a $20 million budget, an A-list cast featuring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis, and direction by James Bridges, Perfect was expected to make a major impact. Instead, it became one of the decade’s most talked-about flops, grossing only $12.9 million worldwide.
