The film dwells a bit too much on North's unpleasant campaign strategist, Mark Goodin.

Rating: 78/100 --
An interesting, if uneven, documentary.
Apollo Guide
Rating: 3/4 --
Personalities are being sold, not parties or philosophies, and A Perfect Candidate makes that process even more interesting because one candidate, Robb, apparently has no personality at all, while the other, North, has two.

...You won't find a wittier or grittier guide to the electoral process than this documentary, a wicked dazzler...
Rolling Stone
Product Description:
A wryly humorous documentary focusing on the 1994 Virginia Senate race, which pitted incumbent Charles Robb against "American Hero" and former Marine Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North. Commentary from the North camp is provided by strategist Mark Goodin; Washington Post political reporter Don Bakes provides a counterpoint.
