Erika (17789 KP) rated The Assistant (2020) in Movies

Feb 29, 2020

The Assistant is a thinly-veiled Harvey Weinstein inspired film... Funny how it didn't get as much attention or promotion as Bombshell.
This film was quiet, and follows an assistant of a film producer, who is never shown on screen. She performs monotonous tasks, attempts to eat (though, she always ends up throwing out the food - if you're a lowly assistant low on money, you don't pitch food), and gets lectured by her coworkers and boss. She sees indications that her boss is a dirt bag, but when she attempts to report these concerns to Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen), they're not really taken seriously.
The theater was about a quarter of the way through, and I was probably the youngest person there. One of the elderly gentlemen said in a loud voice, "That's it?" It was definitely a frustrating ending, but that was very much true to life, so I thought it was fitting.

My wife wanted to see this, because she loves Lucy Hale. Having seen parts of it from working in a movie theater, I knew it wasn't goin to be great, but I decided to bite the bullet and rent it.

I'm glad I used the points I accrued from my Redbox rentals instead of spending actual money to see it. It was exactly what I expected, a movie about young, attractive, and utterly milquetoast characters bumbling from scene to scene and a marginally interesting hook for why the bad thing is out to get them.

The acting is fine, and it's not terrible visually, but this movie lacks any kind of soul. Just your basic Friday night junk food horror flick. And don't get me wrong, I love junk food. But it's the difference between potato skins from TGIFridays and those terrible TGIFridays potat skin flavored chips.

Of course, my wife loved it.
