Watch Perfect Parents For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

When the family man and mechanic Stuart (Christopher Eccleston) finds that his beloved only daughter Lucy (Maddy Garrood) was beaten and humiliated by her schoolmates in a public school, he decides to take Lucy out of the school and give home schooling to her with his wife Alison (Susannah Harker). Then they seek another public school since they can not afford to give a private education for Lucy, but all the places are worse than her original school. When they find the wonderful Catholic School St. Mary of the Veil, they prepare the application of their daughter. However, due to the high demand, one of the basic conditions to be accepted is being Catholic but Stuart and Alison are atheists. Stuart meets the smalltime crook Ed (Brendan Coyle) that charges an amount to provide the necessary documentation proving that Stuart, Alison and Lucy are Catholics including the testimony of Father Thomas (David Warner). Lucy is accepted St. Mary of the Veil, but the life of her family changes when Father Thomas is killed and Ed blackmails Stuart, while the mother of a rejected applicant does not believe that Lucy and her family are Catholics."Perfect Parents" is a surprisingly good and original movie. The story about parenthood, religion, competition and education has a simple beginning with a family pretending to be Catholic to get a better education for the young daughter. However, the simple lie complicates in a big twist, with murder, blackmail and greedy. With the exception of Lucy and Emma that are pure girls, all the characters are amoral and have serious deviation of behavior. Stuart is cynical and together his wife, they corrupt a priest, use false documentation and lie to get the aimed spot in the school. Ed is simply a scum. Jane is a woman that claims to be a religious and faithful Christian, but eagerly seeks a spot for her daughter, and does not show sympathy of mercy with Lucy. Father Thomas is a former pedophile and corruptible to afford to pay the blackmailer. Sister Antonia in the end shows that is a fair woman. The acting is excellent and gives credibility to the plot, and it was great to see the great David Warner again. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "O Segredo – Pecado em Família" ("The Secret – Sin in Family")

I recently watched flesh and blood in my media studies lesson and was impressed with seeing Christopher Eccleston's moving role of how working class families handle with "disabled" children.This encouraged me to watch more of Christopher's performances. Perfect parents did not disappoint. With a believable performance and interesting plot twists the story is engaging. The gun was a huge surprise for me. While sections may seem mellow dramatic that can be part of the fun when watching drama. Interesting camera angles used appropriately and plenty of aesthetically pleasing scenes which are both believable and eye catching.Recommended for anyone who wants more from Christopher Eccleston.

I thought this was a great drama, a bit far-fetched maybe but very well acted and full of suspense. I am a big fan of Christopher Eccleston and always watch stuff that he's in. I'm also a teacher and have a young child so was very interested in the stuff to do with choosing schools etc. I do agree with the comment saying that they had tried to include an awful lot of themes e.g Religion, Education, Murder, Paedophilia etc.I was really enjoying this drama, having recorded it. Unfortunately I got to almost the end and it hadn't recorded so I missed the end. Would anyone be kind enough to tell me what happened after the Mother Superior arrives at the house? I'd be very grateful, Thanks.

what a preposterous story ,murder blackmail,child sex allegations ,gays and the catholic church.....absolute tripe. How is it that most UK based TV dramas ,sit coms etc have to include the obligortory Gay,its really getting tiresome now. Everybody accepts that there are Gay people in society just has there are other minority groups,but we don't want it ramming down our throats(i'll pass on this one) in every single show. Apart from the above, the drama went from what could have been an interesting little story into a pantomime,the priest was a paedophile and there are gays running about every where,oh yes just to be totally PC one of the gay couple was black.i am surprised at c ecclestone for even contemplating this when he read the script.
