How to Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days is a 1983 film produced by WonderWorks, based on the children's book Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days! by Stephen Manes. A family-friendly comedy starring Wallace Shawn, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, and Hermione Gingold, it is about a twelve-year-old boy named Milo, a hopeless klutz who happens upon a mysterious advertisement in the paper for becoming a perfect person. A three-day course devised by a peculiar man, Dr. Silverfish, Milo enrolls and manages to complete the strange tasks. Only after completing the course does Milo realize perfection is not all it's cracked up to be.
The film first aired on PBS on October 4, 1984[1] and was regularly shown on The Disney Channel in the mid-1980s.
