James Bridges directed the comedy drama Perfect which was released on June 7, 1988 by Columbia Pictures. The screenplay was written by Aaron Latham. The movie, like John Travolta's earlier film Saturday Night Fever, was based on a magaxine article. In this case, the film was actually based on a series of articles in the Rolling Stone magazine. The health club was patterned after the famous Sports Club LA which was frequented by many singles.
In this movie, an aerobics instructor, played by the very fit Jamie Lee Curtis, meets a reporter, John Travolta, who is trying to do a story on how aerobics clubs have become the new singles scene. The movie cost $19 million to make and grossed $12.9 million.
