A distinct lack of directorial oomph prevents "Almost Perfect" from feeling anything but regrettably middlebrow.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Overview
Anne has given up trying to find a man who will fit into her sensible and controlled life. Therefore she has chosen to become pregnant with an anonymous sperm donor who has been carefully chosen. But as her hormones get the better of her she realizes that the child may come to resemble the father and possibly get his less flattering characteristics. Anne feels compelled to find the sperm donor and ensure that he is as perfect as she imagines.

Hackneyed and forgettable though it may be, Almost Perfect is also pretty watchable until its breezy first half gives way to ill-advised melodrama.
