Protraph Lack of good storyline.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Tweekums Early in this film secretary Tess McGill has moved to a new job. Her new boss is Katharine Parker, who works in Mergers and Acquisitions at a New York company. She seems friendly and encourages Tess to pitch in with her ideas. Tess does this when she suggests that a firm which is looking to acquire a television station might be better off getting a radio station instead. She is soon told that the company weren't interested but is still complimented for the idea. After Katherine breaks a leg while skiing Tess learns that far from dropping the radio plan Katherine had stolen it. Tess then sets about setting up the deal by contacting investment broker Jack Trainer; of course she doesn't tell him she is 'only' a secretary. All goes fairly well but inevitably Katherine eventually finds out and accuses Tess of stealing the idea. This film is a lot of fun; the plot holds few surprises but that isn't a problem as it isn't the stort of film where one expects twists. Despite only appearing third on the cast list this is definitely Melanie Griffith's film; she is rarely off screen and is a delight as Tess; a character one can't help rooting for. Harrison Ford is on fine form as Jack and Sigourney Weaver impresses as the duplicitous Katharine. The romantic subplots are handled well and don't feel forced; they also provide quite a few laughs. The film has aged pretty well; only the huge '80s hair really dates things! Overall I'd say this may be fairly light weight but it is a lot of fun and well worth watching.

adonis98-743-186503 When a secretary's idea is stolen by her boss, she seizes an opportunity to steal it back by pretending she has her boss' job. Working Girl benefits from it's strong Cast and it's excellent story. Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford are brilliant and except their great chemistry they both give 2 excellent and strong perfomances in the leading roles and the same goes for Sigourney Weaver. People who love a good romance/drama won't be disappointed.

ericventura The epitome of cliché, Working Girl takes your typical rags to riches story taking place in the male-dominated business world, inserts strong female characters, and turns the film into a particularly good feminist anthem. While the movie does have strongly developed themes, it is not good. It's a funny romantic comedy, but that does not excuse the blatant, overdone stupidity of the whole production.There is nothing special about this movie. Nothing technically appealing, visually stunning, or cinematically special. So the screenplay, in order to make this banal movie more appetizing, flips the gender roles, making this rom-com more interesting, but ultimately the same movie. Better and more sophisticated than Clueless (1995), it still falls far short of When Harry Met Sally (1989). The people making this film must have patted themselves on the back for their clever film, failing to see the façade that it truly is. They put a masquerade mask to hide the pathetic truth of this movie. But it's really just a bland and unseasoned chicken with a little salt sprinkled on top.The acting of a few of the primary characters is quite good, while others fall as short as the film. Both Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford act well for the role, but not much more. However, their dynamic together is truly felt and earns the film at least one point for some authenticity. Sigourney Weaver's performance seems tasteless and stiff, typical of the mean boss. Joan Cusack is the only true star in this movie, capturing the energy and eccentricity of her character, creating humor and making her scenes enjoyable.There's not much else to this bland film. At least, it was funny.

slightlymad22 An Oscar nominated Joan Cusack steals this move out from under the lead cast, all of whom are excellent. Especially Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver, both of whom were Oscar nominated too. Ford is Excellent too in a rare romantic role.Plot In A Paragraph: When a secretary's idea is stolen by her boss, she seizes an opportunity to steal it back by pretending she has her boss's job, when her boss breaks her leg in a Skiing trip.I'm surprised at the billing of this movie having Harrison Ford (who does not appear till half way through the movie) first, Sigourney Weaver (who disappears after about ten minutes of screen time) second and Melanie Griffith (who is the core and heart of the movie) third.
