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.

***SPOILERS*** It's when rich Philadelphia socialite Marrianne Danforth, Jamie Luner, threw a fund raising party for the homeless and orphaned children of the city that her shoddy past back on the west coast suddenly caught up with her.Showing up at the big event unannounced and uninvited is pretty boy Brent Richter, James Wilder. Brent's got some very pressing business matters to iron out with a shocked and outraged, in seeing him for the first time in four years, Marrianne who's anything but glad to see him. It was Brent, together with Marrianne doing the dirty work, who was responsible for the murder of Marrianne's first husband Martin Grayson, James O'Regan, back in California four years ago. A greedy and two timing Brent later screw things up for himself in splitting the life insurance money on Mr. Grayson's life. That's when he was caught with his paths down in a motel room with another woman by Marrianne who was then known as Annie Grayson. Now he's back for his share of the loot, $250,000.00, Brent will gladly rat Marrianne out to the police if she doesn't come up with it!At first not wanting anything to do with Brent Marrianne soon realizes that she's trapped in going along with his plan to not only get the 250 G's that she owes him but to likewise murder her now rich husband the doodled brained, in him having no clue to what his wife is planing for him, Richard Danforth, William R. Moses, and his father the head of the multi million dollar cooperation Danforth & Son Donald Danforth played by an elderly Huntz Hall, of the famous "Bowery Boys" series, look alike Lawerance Dane.The one thing that sidetracks Brent and Marrianne's plan is Richard Danforth's faithful personal secretary, that Marrianne treats like dirt, Carrie Holdings, Lisa Langlois, who smells a rat in what her boss' wife is planing for him. Carrie ends up paying with her life by snooping around in the bar where Marrianne and Brent secretly meet up and make their plans to do in her boss Richard Danforth. In the end it's Richard's business partner the sharp classy and on top of things Tia Montgomery, Sophie Gendron, who uncovers Marrianne and Brent's plan to do both the, father & Son, Danforths in! But that's not before old man Danforth ends up getting poked from behind with a deadly dose of potassium chloride by Marrieann when, drinking his morning coffee, he's not looking!***SPOILERS*** In the end Marrianne double-crosses her lover and partner in crime Brent Richter in order to keep all the money of Danforth & Son, some 30 million dollars, all for herself as well as keeping Brent from turning evidence against her if he's caught by the police. The one person who turns things around and puts Marrianne in her place is Tia who, after refusing to believe what she knew was true, was about to expose Marrianne's crimes to the D.A's office. This lead to a vicious and knock down and drag out cat fight, in a basement garage, between the two women that ended with Marrianne getting all that she's got coming to her. Not from Tia or a court of law but from a perfect stranger who unwittingly showed up at the right time and place to save Tia's life!

My two least favorite LMN actresses, that seem to work all the time are Jamie Luner and Sophie Gendron. One looks like she's the mother of most of her leading men and the other, with those thick lips that you feel would suction her to any surface. Hard to watch them.The plot is typical and reminds me of many other LMN film plots where the husband gets it from the bitchy wife who in turns either takes on with a younger man or the son of the husband, etc, etc. This movie is no different except it's hard to watch. Ah, Jamie and her hypo killing machine. And Sophie and her woeful looks. Better to watch the men folk, a bit more interesting. William Moses as the husband and James Wilder as the poor young fool who buys the bull she gives him. How many of these "perfect" film titles are there? LMN seems to conquer them all. For almost every day we see one or another.

The ironic title "The Perfect Marriage" gets the viewer in the right mood to expect the worst. It seems that successful and rich entrepreneur, Richard Danforth (William Moses), has the perfect wife in Marrianne, aka Annie (Jamie Luner), who is adept at party mixing. She appears to be the ideal spouse for her clean-cut aspiring husband. Adding to Marrianne's blissful state is the fact that her father-in-law is president of the company where Richard works. All is going well for the happy couple when suddenly Marrianne's deadly past catches up with her in the form of a slimy leach called Brent Richter (James Wilder). Some time ago in another state, Brent and Marrianne had engineered the death of her aged husband. The good wife, Marrianne,had jabbed her old man in the neck with a fatal dose of potassium chloride. But poor Marriane finds her partner in crime with another woman. Even worse, she learns that Brent has squandered the old fellow's money on wine, women, and bad debts.Marrianne attempts to buy Brent off. When he refuses, she decides that she loves him once more. Together they concoct a scheme to get her father-in-law's fortune. This time around, however, Richard's secretaries become suspicious, leading to complications involving murder and mayhem. Most of this is routine at best, but there are a few novel twists and turns thrown in from time to time, especially in the way the writers deal with Marrianne at the end of the film. The acting is not bad for a made-for-TV flick. The direction is adequate, though at times the film is a bit talky. So though the viewer has seen most of it before in a different guise, there is enough excitement to please fans of the genre.
