The Assistants is a new movie opening December 3. It's a story about a group of Hollywood assistants who use their positions to lie, con, and blackmail their way into producing their own movie. Though it's funny, certainly, there's also great truth in it. In the film, all these twentysomethings - wannabe actors, writers, directors, craftsmen, etc. - yearn, dream, hope and pray to one day be a success in the film business like those they work for and see all around them. Be careful what you wish for - particularly in Hollywood. --© Official Site

Critic Reviews

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
This movie about wanting to make a movie doesn't make for much of a movie.

Dennis Harvey, Variety
There's no novelty or flair here to even briefly transcend overall predictability.
