If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

I have seen Jamie Luner in two TV Lifetime "The Perfect ________"- type movies.The first one was entitled "The Perfect Boss" which was shown back in 2013. I just found it to standard despite being implausibility considering that they simply become parts of TV movies.The other one is this TV movie known as "The Perfect Marriage" which was shown more than ten years ago in 2006.William R. Moses, James Wilder and the beauteous Canadian actress Sophie Gendron co-star with Luner.As we all know,any Lifetime TV movie with the title "The Perfect ________" deals with a criminal main character who is ironically far from being perfect.In it,we get to see Luner portrays a woman who is into murdering her husbands to accumulate the inheritance they have have left for her.First,we get to see Annie murder her husband Martin to get $250,000 in California whom he shared with her lover Brent.Later,we get to see her married again and now known as Marianne in Philadelphia.But Brent goes back to her and tries to work with her into killing her present husband who happens to be a real estate tycoon's Richard,who is worth $30 million dollars.Brent and Marianne kills the father of her present husband and tries to kill her present husband as well but the executive secretary Tia Montgomery have other things in mind.Obviously,this is a better TV Lifetime "The Perfect ________"- type movie made by Jamie Lumer as compared to her 2013 film considering that there is more tension as a thriller and unpredictability as well especially on how Tia managed to stop Marianne. The conclusion was also exciting at the end as Tia managed to elude Marianne who was trying to kill her.As a TV movie,it definitely delivers to be a standard one. The presence of Sophie Gendron,who portrayed Tia and who very attractive and sexy when the movie was made,added bonus to the viewers as well.

Why do I even watch this dribble? Sometimes the films are soooo bad and the actors (mostly the leading ladies) are soooo bad it makes you watch. Sort of hypnotizes you into seeing the movie. Once again Janie Luner never disappoints me in being the worst actress on television. Here she prances around in outfits that don't flatter her rather overweight torso and hair all over the place. Her hair makes me want to throw up. Totally out of style for a woman her age. And believe me she's over 40. Her scenes with Sophie Gendron (in a flattering short hair style and looking much prettier then Luner) show her up as an older person. Then we have William R. Moses, who is always stuck in these hopeless and clueless husbands, playing opposite Luner. He does what he can with terrible lines. I liked Lawrence Dane as his father. He had some good scenes. James Wilder as Luner's lover, is sooo young she looks like his mother. Funny watching him making love to her. He must have acted with all he had to make it look believable. Lisa Langloria and Allison Graham in smaller roles fared better than our leading lady. Terrible flick due mostly to writing and Luner in it.

These Lifetime flicks are a lot like your favorite junk food. Big Macs, Twinkies, Oreos, etc., are satisfying while they're going down, but they don't provide much in the long run.Movies like this one can provide a couple of hours' entertainment on, say, a bleak Sunday afternoon - but there is little with which to empathize or recall or reflect upon after they're over.However, this one did provide an added bonus. William R. Moses is to the male side of this genre what Meredith Baxter is on the feminine counterpoint -- both have played the betrayer and "betrayee," both the villain/villainess and the one being menaced. Seeing either of them on Lifetime (as well as a few others whom we may recognize by sight if not name) is like meeting an old friend.If I were an actor, I'd rather be Mr. Moses than, say, Tom Cruise, or Harrison Ford or Tom Hanks. You wouldn't be on the "A" list, getting $20-mil or more per picture. But you'd still make, probably, something around low-7 figures, get to have a lot of expense-paid trips to Canada, and be able to move around with minimal bother from the paparazzi.As far as the plot of this particular offering - it contains a "plot" which is one of the two main staples of "Lifetime" dramas: the spouse with the hidden past, which comes-up to bite everyone in the ass {the other, of course, is the neighbor (or student or teacher or co-worker) who turns out to be a raving, dangerous, obsessed psychotic sociopath}.Again, two decent hours on a gloomy Sunday afternoon.

First and foremost....kudos to Jamie Luner for a great performance as a she-devil Dr. Jekyl and Mrs. Hyde character. ( A HUGE improvement from her two previous Lifetime flicks where she was the resident heroine-in-peril.) This outing made a good bookend to the other end, "Blind Injustice". I posted on these very IMDb message boards that she should cease with the heroine-in-peril scripts, so I now feel vindicated...she is a heroine about as much as Theresa Russell was in " Black Widow". This was a pretty good effort on Ms. Luner's part.The short saga of this flick is a greedy wife Annie (Luner), with the help of a equally conniving back door man Brent( James Wilder in sleepwalking mode) scheme and kill Hub #1 for 250K in insurance money. Predictably, back door man Brent burns through about 90% of her share AND his. Fast forward several years and Annie(now known as Marianne)has new identity, new hub Richard (William R. Moses), high social status, and loads of money. Life is a bowl of cherries until back door man Brent shows up through the front door and Marianne returns to her scheming, murderous ways. Hint: This closet psycho loves potassium chloride and syringes....watch out for those nasty air bubbles! The body count is up to three by the time she sets out to waste her hub's co-worker Tia who is on to her nasty past.(Unbeknownest to Tia, Marianne is out to waste Richard too) Above average chase scene at the end in a parking garage. Jamie Luner does some great, open field running in boots for a gal of her height, 5'9".(I swear she could run the 50 yard dash faster than some guys) Credit the director for NOT having her character fall several times and bust her tush on a slick parking garage floor....which is predictable in some scripts.Catch it on Lifetime when it repeats, it was better than most thriller TV-movies you will see on any of the big three networks.
