THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS was an amusing and deliciously entertaining 1987 comedy that can provide laughs as long as you accept from jump that it's a complete fantasy and that this could NEVER happen in real life.

Fox delivers one of his most charming performances as Brantley and gets solid support from Jordan as his uncle, Margeret Whitton as Jordan's wife and Fox's aunt, and John Pankow (MAD ABOUT YOU) as a mail room buddy.

It's a fast-paced comedy that is great fun as long as you don't think about it too much. It also helps to have a soundtrack powered by the likes of Bananarama, Night Ranger, Pat Benatar, Restless Heart and the multi-talented David Foster.
