Plot Summary
Life in the corporate world can be murder. At Mrs. Appleby's, some people would kill to get ahead. Peter Derns (Timothy Hutton), a junior exec at Mrs. Appleby's cookie company, is afraid his future prospects are crumbling faster than the product he markets. Hope appears in the curvaceous form of Kris Bolin (Lara Flynn Boyle), his new temp. Gorgeous, bright and efficient, Kris helps Peter develop a deliciously successful marketing campaign. But after two executives meet mysterious deaths. Peter fears his job security may end permanently due to the one person he needs to trust—his temp.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: As written by Kevin Falls and directed by Tom Holland, The Temp starts well and runs into trouble about midway through.
Rotten: Some of the movie plays as if it were intended to be tongue-in-cheek, but other parts are played straight, making it appear that Holland and his screenwriter Kevin Falls couldn't make up their minds about what sort of movie they wanted to make.
Rotten: The Temp is as unimaginative as thrillers get, with a plot-by-numbers script and insipid direction.
