MTV's "MADE" creates a celebrity assistant by cultivating a newbie to work for a major TV star.ĭownton Abbey ( 2010 - 2015 ) Inspired by a real-life aristocratic family in Europe. I Want to Work for Diddy ( 2008: aka Sean John Combs) A contest about getting to win a spot working for the icon. What this all boils down to is that "The Perfect Assistant" ends up a bad take on the psycho woman storyline which brings nothing new to the often used story of an obsessed woman and in fact goes over the top when it comes to how obsessed she is.Assistants to the Super Rich ( ABC News 20/20) Documentary about PAs to UHNW families. It makes Rachel such an over the top character that you do end up laughing at how bad she is and are really just waiting for her inevitable breakdown when her evil plans are uncovered. You can't place the whole blame on Davis because director Douglas Jackson decides to let us into Rachel's mind and hear her evil thoughts which are sublimely bad. When it comes to Davis' actual performance it is so over the top that you half expect her to let rip with an evil cackle when she sets about dealing with a threat to her plans. Talking of Rachel well Josie Davis is the movie's one positive and that is purely because she has captivating eyes. And David is no better because he must be blind not to notice that Rachel is both clingy and unhinged. When David's business partner looks annoyed at Rachel she pouts and glares in a way which is hilariously cheesy. But then we have other issues starting with a lot of terrible and flat characters which almost feel like they have come out of a pantomime with over the top facial expressions. The irony of this is that whilst in storyline "The Perfect Assistant" doesn't offer anything new it could have worked as an average take on this sort of obsessed woman drama. The fact we have a storyline which starts with David's wife becoming seriously ill and Rachel stepping in to look after his daughter isn't new either because all this means is that she manipulates her way in to the child's life as well. That means she murders, manipulates and schemes her way into her boss's life, silencing those who are a threat, poisoning those who could get in the way and becoming so pivotal that her boss can't function without her. The fact that here we have Rachel being the assistant to the man she is obsessed with is of little consequence as this is a text book obsessed woman movie and nothing more. So "The Perfect Assistant" is your text book made for TV movie about a woman who is both obsessed with and delussional about a man and will go to scary lengths to make him hers. Now with an opportunity to make her move she plans to wheedle her way into David's personal life, ruthlessly dealing with anyone who dares to get in her way or ruin her plans.
