'How to Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days' is a 1984 American television family comedy film directed by Joan Micklin Silver and written by Bruce Harmon, based on the 1982 children's book 'Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days!' by Stephen Manes. It stars Wallace Shawn, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, and Hermione Gingold, and 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, as part of the series 'WonderWorks', and was regularly shown on The Disney Channel in the mid-1980s.
