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.**** The Perfect Assistant (2008) Douglas Jackson ~ Josie Davis, Chris Potter, Rachel Hunter, Jason Harper

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 can't believe I watched the whole thing. For fans of any kind of thriller or suspense films, or any kind of drama, you are going to be seriously disappointed with this one. We have all seen the "trusted assistant is nutty stalker" movie a hundred times, so we expect something different when a new version is foisted on us. Every single second of this movie was predictable, from the start to the finish. There is not one surprise. Based on other comments here I stuck it out to the end, but oh did I regret it. We've seen it all before. And on top of that, the dialog was just horrible. Nobody speaks that way, no, not even to themselves. I will remark that Chris Potter was one of the few good things about this movie. He is actually an actor with talent. I really don't know what his agent was thinking when they got him mixed up in this mess. He needs to fire that person ASAP.

I chose an 8 rating out of ten even though I enjoyed the movie intensely because the lead male character did not do as I would have done and "go for it", the young and smoking sexy hot and very beautiful Executive Assistant. He chose instead to remain monogamous to his very deceased wife. Bearing in mind that no one knew Rachel assisted her boss's wife on her way "out the door" so to speak. I literally found myself rooting for her to "get her man". "Why?" you ask. Because there is nothing sexier than a woman who will do "whatever it takes" to get her man and will do "anything and everything" to please him and keep him pleased. Yes, she is a closet nut case. But that's okay because she's crazy about him/me. Which means I do not have to worry about her fidelity and loyalty to me because she's out of her mind crazy about me. She would never allow another man in her bed or betray my love to her nor let another woman move in on her territory because as she so aptly said in the movie "She can't live without me." And her actions backed up her words. Josie Davis executed her seductive role so well I could literally taste her sweet and succulent womanhood in my mouth. I wanted her sooooo bad. The way I saw it she was seducing me. Which is why through out the movie I could not fathom why David could not figure out she wanted him, and when he finally did realize it how on earth could he resist her charms, her beauty, her passionate desires. Rachel would surely give him a night he would not soon forget. And he would definitely know beyond doubt that she belonged to him, only him, and no other man could swoop in and take her away from him because she was crazy beyond reason about him. He has all the power, because she would do whatever he asked/directed/told her to do. She was already primed to succumb to his will at work, and would do anything to keep him once she got him. I would surely have maximized the benefits to that truth about Rachel both in and out of bed. Knowing I could never sleep with another woman again because Rachel would surely put her, and possibly me, in a permanent sleep (a by-product of insane obsession). I also rated the movie an 8 because I did not feel it perpetuated reality. If the events of this movie happened in real life he would give way to her advances and she would surely rock his world in ways he had never dreamed possible. Now who's hooked on who? I would have loved to see an R-rated version of this movie.
