Review of Working Girl (1988) by Jon C — 23 Mar 2015

Such a sweet watch.

Not a Harrison Ford movie per-se but still a wacky look at business and mixing it with social living.

Melanie Griffith is a so-serious woman looking for a promotion in the line of Wall Street and her boss played by the awesome Weaver gives her enough guidance to make it big.

But after running into a handsome executive things start to escalate sometimes uncomfortably and hilariously.

But Griffith gets in too over her head when she pitches an idea she came up with that's not hers.

The cool thing about the movie is that she takes a big risk pining for a dream job.

And she points out the stress of making it to the top.

She is the ultimate 'working girl' as it were juggling a double-life with this charming man and pretending to be her own boss.

The 1980's was the age of circuit boards and Griffith proves it's a challenge to get by.

A modernized 'Cinderella' tale along the lines of 'Pretty Woman' and many others that so funny and sharp.
