Une assistante presque parfaite

I have already commented on this film at great lengths- The perfect assistant- and it was never printed on your comments page, and I followed all the required rules -------- so don 't waste my time. Why 10 lines? I saw this film several times, it is a good film, but it had too many loopholes, parts of the plot of the story made no sense at all- for instance , how on earth can a woman walk into a hospital, kill someone and walk out without anyone seeing her. And David Wescott must have been a very STUPID man to say the least, as he failed to see how deeply in love his assistant was with him- then he takes her to NY on a business, trip, plies her with champagne sweet words of praise plus a gift of a watch, overwhelmed she gives him a big hug an kiss on the mouth, he turns on her immediately, won't accept an apology or explanation from her- oh come on. - MEN!!!

I actually really enjoyed this movie...and Sophie Gendron is a great actress! Check out DEMONS FROM HER PAST and A LOVER'S REVENGE. She is fantastic in both of these films.

(Actually DEMONS FROM HER PAST is one of my favorite Lifetime films to date).

I also thought Josie Davis's character in TPA was very believable. I haven't seen her on screen in awhile and thought she played a great psycho.

I watch a lot of Lifetime movies...and this was actually one of the better ones.

Check it out...see for yourself.

I liked Nora, the good cousin. Josie Davis had crossed eyes a little bit. Look closely. Chris Potter did a superb job portraying boss David Wescott. Sadly, he didn't suspect her crush on him until that kiss in the New York City hotel. Josie Davis was strange. She spoke angrily out loud in a bathroom. I've seen great movies better than this. Chris Potter did best. Nora too.

I enjoyed the plot though. The cousin of David Wescott s wife was beautiful looking. She was a bit not too dynamite.

A tiny role for her. Everyone else did great, but my top favourite one was Potter. And the small actress who played Isabel.

This movie was terrible. The lead character Josie Davis was about a C- throughout the entire time. There was not one scene in which I found her believable or even interesting. And as soon as I saw Sophie Gendron walk on the screen, I groaned. Having suffered through a movie with her once before, I was hoping her role would be very brief. Ms. Gendron is badly in need of a coach, or perhaps another profession.

While these two roles were desperately in need of recasting, Chris Potter was absolutely fantastic. He played a difficult part, and did it exquisitely. Every scene of his had just the proper amount of inflection and purpose. He was completely believable and his contribution kept me from giving this movie fewer stars.

I also enjoyed Judith Manion, and think she did a great job. She and Chris Potter completely outshone the others.

However, this movie is not worth the two hours it took to watch to the end. Save your time and do something more worthwhile.

Perpetually perky and seemingly psycho Josie Davis (as Rachel Partson) works as a secretary for attractive executive Chris Potter (as David Wescott). "Actually, I'm his executive assistant," she corrects. Once tragically orphaned, and displaying a compulsive use of anti-bacterial hand lotion, Ms. Davis is extremely devoted to Mr. Potter. She wants to take the place of his hospitalized wife and be a mother to cute little Veronique Natale Szalankiewicz (as Isabelle). Suspicious co-stars like Rachel Hunter (as Judith) and Jason Harper (as Wally) provide fun watching but, compared to several similarly-titled "The Perfect…" cable-ready TV movies, "The Perfect Assistant" is tragically slow.
