Review of Working Girl (1988) by Originaldanger — 14 Sep 2020

Working Girl is a romantic comedy film made in 1988 by director Mike Nichols (Wolf 1994). Working Girl stars Melanie Griffith as probably the main character of Tess and also stars Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver and even a short appearance from Kevin Spacey and Alec Baldwin is also present.

Working Girl is full of guys having affairs, backstabbing to a degree, business deals, love, romance, the issue of trust and chit chat.... Tess (Melanie Griffith) loses her job after calling her boss a pimp and gets another chance but is in a new job and is working as a secretary for her boss (Sigourney Weaver) I think but Weaver has an accident whilst skiing and breaks her leg and is recovering in hospital.

Whilst in hospital back at the workplace Tess takes charge and even steals Katherine Parker's (Weaver) love interest played by Harrison Ford and tries to make her life better by reaching the top however when Katherine (Weaver) gets released from hospital she tries to put an end to Tesses dreams and hopes.

Working Girl is well acted but it's too long a film so patience is required and Sigourney Weaver is great and very beautiful, it's fairly funny but contains bad language, nudity, drugs, scenes of sex but all in all a decent film.
