Review of Working Girl (1988) by Dawdlingpoet — 05 Jun 2022

This is very much a dated film. Its categorised as a comedy, a rom com I think but I didn't find it funny. Watching pervy men flirt with an 'ambitious secretary', nah, not my thing. Sigourney Weavers character, Katharine Parker, was probably the most stand out, if any.

I don't think Tess was a character I found it easy to feel too sorry for, even though its clear she's subject to a certain amount of misogny. The female stereotypes are too cheesy and annoying and the chemistry with certain cast members didn't feel or seem especially genuine, so it didn't really work.

Oh and also, some of the dialogue was a bit hushed, which I find frustrating. I wouldn't recommend it, no.
