If You Like Seeing Olivia Munn in Sexy Nighties, You Still Might Not Love Perfect Couples
The fact that NBC has titled a midseason replacement about three incredibly imperfect couples Perfect Couples shows that the network understands irony. So maybe irony was what the network was also going for when it cut together this completely unfunny preview devoid of any romance to promote what is being called a romantic comedy. On the plus side though, it does feature Olivia Munn, Kyle Bornheimer and four other attractive young actors in bed a lot.
"You're going to feel like somebody took a page out of your diary," Olivia Munn promises in this preview. And maybe that is true if your bed-hogging girlfriend literally kicks you onto the floor at night. And your house is haunted by a possum with nine lives. And you keep having to convince your girlfriend that no, she should not audition for American Idol. Then maybe you will feel like somebody took a page out of your diary. But even if that was the case, wouldn't you want some television producer to at least enhance your material for comedic effect?
VERDICT: Olivia Munn completists, and fans of Mary Elizabeth Ellis's work on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia might be tempted to give it a shot. Otherwise, Perfect Couples could be the next My Generation -- which means that it will get a lot of subway ad space, even after it is canceled within two episodes.

I hate these kind of previews. Why would I want to watch an actor talk about their show/film with bad music and random scenes? Just cut a trailer. Honestly.
