John Travolta stars as a Rolling Stone reporter who travels to Los Angeles to investigate a drug case and decides to write an exposé of the health-club craze of the 1980s. Reporter Adam Lawrence (Travolta) sets out to trash the fitness craze as just a replacement of the shallow singles bar scene of the 1970s. He even has a title in mind: "Looking for Mr. Goodbody." As he researches his story, Adam meets Jessie (Jamie Lee Curtis), a sexy fitness instructor who has little use for scribes like him. Adam charms the reluctant Jessie, and before long the hot couple is working out together--in more ways than one. Suddenly Adam is faced with a quintessential dilemma of journalism: Can he be Jessie's lover and still ridicule her friends and workplace? PERFECT features a lead performance from Rolling Stone's real-life editor in chief, Jann Wenner, as Lawrence's gutsy editor. The film is an intriguing drama that combines the glamorous world of magazine journalism with the seductive world of 1980s super health clubs.

John Travolta is a writer for Rolling Stone; Jamie Lee Curtis is a beautiful aerobics instructor. When he investigates health clubs as the singles bars of the '80s, sparks fly and a sizzling romance heats up. Marilu Henner, Laraine Newman and Jann Wenner are also featured in "Perfect." Director James Bridges goes behind the scenes at a high-powered magazine where nothing stands in the way of a story, even someone's life. He explores a world where love is a dance played to a pulsing beat and the attainment of physical beauty is everything. A hit-filled musical score by Jermaine Jackson and other top artists plus dynamic aerobics sequences are among the film's many pleasures.
