It is a performances centric movie

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Forget about all lack of accuracy how create a person from nowhere,it's too dummy,comedies are to be enjoy instead convince if is true or not,too easy and amuzing it's driven to breaks the walls of the men's offices,make a conterpoint to self called unfair men practices,the target is that....all remains is just for fun!!!ResumeFirst watch: 1999 / How many: 3 / Source: Cable TV-DVD / Rating: 7

Women's lib would really go for this 1996 film about a woman who loses a promotion to her fellow worker despite her better experience and seniority.Since she will now be a subordinate to this guy, she quits and forms her own investment group. She is aided by a very frumpy Dianne Wiest.When she can't get anywhere due to her sex, she invents a male partner to get her ideas accepted.The film is a funny one and when Whoopi is forced to "produce" this partner, she gets a costume with the white face of a Marlon Brando mixed with a Thomas Jefferson profile and hair-do. That part is really hilarious.Of course, there is more fun ahead when Whoopi is accused of killing this partner and Wiest is accused of being an accessory to murder.With all this, the film is highly predictable but go enjoy it anyway.

While I would like to say that I'm sure the producers of this work had no intention of ripping off that iconic television show, I'm sure any fans of the show will agree with me when I say that it did just that.Without the rip off factor, this work is quite cute. It's empowering to women, and demonstrates how the premise of Remmington Steele's whole premise could actually happen. And you thought it was silly! Bah! Whooopie is awesome in this feature, and really commands the presence of an executive, but just beneath that corporate demeanor, lies the bad-a$$ who beat the snot out of "Ray" in Burglar. In spite of that, I loved it. Though it'll never win even a nomination, it was fun.Whoopie? Work more in FRONT of the camera! I miss you! This rates a 5.8/10 from...the Fiend :.

Never having seen this film, we decided to take a chance with it. We were quite surprised to learn this Hollywood film is based on a French one, "L'associe", written for the screen by Jean Claude Carriere and based on Jenaro Prieto's novel "El Socio". Daniel Petrie, its director is working with Nick Thiel's adaptation, which appears to have been a vehicle for its star, Whoopi Goldberg.Some comments have compared this movie with "Working Girl", a film that also dealt with a smart woman working in the financial world, one of the themes in "The Associate". We are introduced to an intelligent woman, Laurel Ayers, who happens to have three things going against her, she is black, a woman, and is intelligent enough to merit a promotion in the Wall Street firm she works for. Unfortunately, it comes as no surprise that Laurel is passed and her co-worker, Frank, gets the good job and becomes her boss.The film is mildly funny, as Laurel goes to make a name for herself by creating a "silent" partner, Mr. Cutty, who is never seen. The financial world is all in a frenzy to meet him, and the hilarious appearance at the Plaza Hotel, instead of making things clear, contributes to his myth.Ms. Goldberg is delightful to watch. Dianne Wiest makes an impressive appearance as the loyal Sally, who is an under appreciated woman. Timothy Daly is perfect as the egotistical Frank. The supporting cast is good. Bebe Neuwirth, Eli Wallach, Austin Pendelton, and a funny Lanie Kazan as a financial gossip writer.While the film is predictable, it offers some funny moments.
