Absolutely the worst movie.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Josie Davis does a fantastic job in this as "Rachel", an assistant who is obsessed with her boss. Even though she is crazy as a loon, there are aspects about her character that are quite likable. She's got more than one side to her, unlike some of the nuttier one-dimensional lifetime villains I've seen. Sophie Gendron's character as the meddling, goody-goody aunt, Mary-Beth, was annoying. I thought she was a horrible snob and cannot figure out why she is praised as a good person in this movie. When she first meets Rachel, she snidely says "Oh yes, you're the Secretary.". Rachel corrects her and says, "Actually, I'm an Executive Assistant" and Mary Beth just smirks at her in a really condescending way. I thought, what a rude *#^%$! Sophie is much more likable in other lifetime movies IMO. Rachel Hunter's acting as Judith was boring and plastic. She has the personality of a doorknob. However, I thought the boss (Chris Potter) was perfectly cast and did a superb job in his role. His acting is real and very believable.

Extremely boring movie: The the story is "seen before" - all the script is like written to morons. The acting is under the Zero- "thinking loudly" is typical for a weakly acting in a soap opera or "if i can't express it, let me say it"; too much overacting. Few good looking faces (but not future stars), some intrigues, a stupid husband and stupid doctors not questioning the curious death of a "getting better" patient. At the end, it seems to me as the movie has been made in "give me something to sell" way. Too bad. There are many enough and good enough new novels to make a movie on them, or even many enough interesting news and stories from all over the world. But they need to be found and read over.

I got to see this film a few times on on the Movie Network and I really enjoyed every second of the film which featured two stars Joesie davis & Chris Potter who as some of you may remember him from Kung-Fu (Peter Caine) The Legend Continues & Queer As Folk (Dr. David Cameron) I had met Chris a few times back in the early 2000's down at club called Blues On Belair and he is also a great musician. Josie Davis I remember her from Y&R playing the original Grace Turner who had a love interest for Nick Newman. Anyway the most outstanding of the two goes to Josie who played Rachel a assistant to David Wescott (Potter) who is going through the lost of his wife and she simply want Wescott to be with her but unfortunately he simply doesn't feel like having affair with Rachel would not heal his lost to his wife. So Rachel would go to lengths to be more closer to David so she can have him to herself. This is the best I seen Josie in and she looks even more beautiful now.

If you haven't seen it already, avail yourself of the opportunity to see "The Perfect Assistant" on Lifetime. This movie combines an excellent cast with a taut and fast-paced script. Josie Davis is sparkling in this movie, and Rachel Hunter gives a solid performance. And Chris Potter's tender, nuanced performance as David Wescott may well garner an Emmy. Potter has established himself as one of the premier leading men in Lifetime TV movies. With this film, director Douglas Jackson has established himself as a leader in made-for-TV suspense. Under his able direction, the actors turn in brilliant performances and Christine Conradt's script translates beautifully onto the screen. And the climax is the most thrilling ten minutes in made-for-TV cinema. I can say confidently that this is the best Lifetime movie I've seen in years. Don't miss this one!
