The One About
Matthew Perry
Before the spread of social media and easy access to online porn, Joe Francis’ multi-million dollar “Girls Gone Wild” franchise, a series of tapes sold on late night television that featured young spring breakers baring their breasts for T-shirts and hats, had a shocking grip on popular culture. Including Francis’ first in-depth, in-person, on-the-record interview with a journalist in almost a decade, as well as exclusive access to his former employees, enemies, and survivors, Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story offers an astonishing and wide-ranging account of a man whose impact on American culture cannot be overstated, whose alleged sins are numerous, and who now lives in exile on a sprawling estate in Mexico amidst the rubble of his once mighty empire.

“This unexpectedly candid, thoughtful, genuinely intimate film gives it nuance and depth, and gives a voice to wider sorrows.”


“With all due respect to Chandler Bing, Perry’s greatest contribution was his vulnerability, even when the image of him it exposed wasn’t flattering. In its honesty, this documentary continues that work.”


“The one about Matthew Perry, it seems, could really be about someone you know and love right now.”


“Let Netflix's The One About Matthew Perry wreck you.”
“This must-see doc differentiates itself by supplementing events … with the POV of those closest to him … This raw openness, triggering as it may be, is what makes the doc land.

“The One About Matthew Perry’…allows his friends, family and admirers to remember the whole, complicated person: a gifted comedian, an ambitious kid, a loyal friend, a generous advocate.”


“His lasting legacy can be found in the people who felt less alone because he made them laugh, and in the people who survived because, at some point, he reached out and said: Come live with me. We’ll try to get through this together.”


“Mia, you were there for him, and along with director Mary Robertson you have done Matthew proud with this documentary.”
Matthew Perry’s sister and friends remember the generous, funny and larger than life man who rose to global superstardom — and share how the actor’s honesty became his greatest legacy.
The One About Matthew Perry, an intimate documentary series, premieres October 27 only on Netflix.
