The Perfect Boss Audience Reviews

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
guil fisher Once again we are forced to watch this 46 year old female strut around with this bush of hair on her head. Attempting to be a sex symbol (NOT) and making just about everyone miserable in this loser of a flick. I have never liked this actress. I think she looks ridiculous and desperately needs a haircut and to act her age. In everything she does she looks the same. I, for one, am not a fan as you see. Her looks kill any acting she might do, which is mostly one level. Please, please LMN no more Jamie Luner.
Desertman84 I have seen Jamie Luner in two TV Lifetime "The Perfect ________"- type movies. The first one was entitled "The Perfect Boss" that has her playing a beautiful and successful executive Jessica,who recently got hired by Mickelson Pharmaceutical,to be in a fast-track project that would produced a drug to help the company that is on a brink of a bankruptcy survive.She does this by sleeping with FDA officials to get a fast approval of the said drug and to kill employees who are going to provide an obstacle to its approval.Jessica and his fellow executive Cameron were successful in the fast-track project of a wonder drug.Too bad that it was later discovered by Dr. Don Renfro that this could kill a lot of people.Jessica and Cameron had Don killed but unfortunately,Don's pre-med daughter and a clerk from the pharmaceutical company Renee was able to solve the puzzle behind his father's murder that brought the guilty ones down in the end. Ashley Leggat,Linden Ashby,Cameron Finney and Gary Hudson co-stars with Luner in this Lifetime TV movie directed by Curtis Crawford.No question that this TV movie deserves only an average rating.One reason is the implausibility considering that executives are presented as murders themselves.Even Jessica herself was proved to be one as she killed her mother themselves.They could have hired killers themselves with the money they are earning.Another worth mentioning is Don's pre-med daughter managed to be smarter than the detectives in solving his father's murder.Other worth mentioning is Jessica trying to sleep with FDA authorities of gain favor instead of bribing them.These events that unfold definitely will astound the viewer. And there are more to mention such as the prostitute being able to view the plate number of a car many miles away.LOL Aside from implausibility,other things worth mentioning are predictability and average performances by the cast involved.Overall,there are other "The Perfect _______" movies that are a lot better than this one.
music_maniacs I don't think this Movie was completely bad, but I think it could have been so much more. I feel it had a good premise, but the idea's needed to be developed on more. I won't write plot as this has been covered already but what I will say is development in a story is very important. Although the story line still progressed I think it would have made the movie more suspenseful, which I feel it needed in order to rate better. There were some good Scene set ups, but again they seemed to fall short in development before moving on, I was thinking I want e.g. more close calls. I enjoyed the relationship between Jessica and her Mum, the manipulation that was apparent. I think It had the most development in the story and helped me to understand Jessica's Character. The main antagonist in the film. I think what I wanted from this movie was more of a showdown between Jessica, Renee and Cameron. I think Characters whose reputations were on the line would have fought to cover up more, they weren't as intelligent as you would expect for corrupt characters. It had all the makings for an excellent Crime drama. Jessica had so much more potential, and while she was good I don't think she was excellent.
punishmentpark I watched the trailer on 13th Street and was looking forward to a bad film that would still have a true milf in it, namely Jamie Luner. It turns out they put in only the most becoming shots of her in the trailer, because mostly she looked very tired throughout the film. Tired, as in: not such a good nip and tuck job. And there a couple more such people in the film, none of them being very good actors (understatement).For the rest of it, this wasn't the bad TV-movie as expected, it was way worse. Boring, silly, unbelievable, those kinds of adjectives, and lots of them. I don't know how exactly Canadian tax dollars are involved here (read that in another review here on IMDb), but that would truly have been unfair to the hard working people of Canada, for sure.2 out of 10, because of my sympathy for Jamie Luner in spite of it all.
