AMAZON REVIEW: My mom used this movie in teaching junior high students nearly 20 years ago, and I've remembered it ever since. Now that I am a middle school teacher, I ordered the video to use with my students. Most kids and teens can relate to a boy who seems to do everything wrong, he just has the worst luck ever, and can understand his desire to take a class in perfection. Through the completely crazy stunts he has to pull to "become perfect," he realizes that perfection isn't all it's cracked up to be. All in all, this is a movie about appreciating yourself and finding out what you are good at. It's perfect for a homeroom class, an advisement group, or a counseling group on self-esteem. Although it's clearly an early '80s movie, teens today still enjoy it!

Based on the novel, "How to Be a Perfect in Just Three Days." A very young Ilan-Mitchell Smith ("Weird Science", "The Chocolate War") stars as accident prone Milo Crimpley, something that seems to have gotten worse over time.

Milo, however, finds an opportunity to get rid of embarrassing accident-prone nature when he stumbles across an advertisement from Professor Silverfish (the hilarious Wallace Shawn), who has a sort of seminar on "How to Be a Perfect in Just Three Days." So, Milo signs up.

Basically, it is just a test in self-esteem, though Milo expects to be an absolutely perfect kid. Silverfish's little three day assignments are meant to make Milo a bolder person, one with will power, and one who is willing to accept challenges when he doubts his abilities most. In actuality, the assignments are just intended to get Milo to accept himself. Because, as Silverfish says: "Why would anyone want to be perfect, anyway? You can't do anything wrong. So, then you don't do anything."
