It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

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.

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.

This is arguably a masterpiece, it embodies everything good about the 1980's. It has a sentimental idealism about love and makes you remember the fame era New York that we all remember along with leg warmers from our youth. This film has excitement, interest, and excellent humor. How good is this movie? Even a gifted director couldn't hurt it. Mike Nochols does a fantastic job of making these varied talents meld into magnificense. Sigourney Weaver does a fantastic job being someone the viewer will detest by the middle of the movie, and soon disdain will turn into anger. Harrison Ford does his part very well too. 'Mr.Trask' is very well played by the actor doing his role. Acting is very good in this movie.This film has uplifting music, a Cinderella-esque story-line and some great views of New York. Needless to say, this is the film that made Melanie Griffith's career. She became an A-list star after turning in this moving performance. With her very pretty original face, she plays the working girl with a realism, sweetness, and vulnerability. Most importantly, her character is smart and tough, but endearing. Alec Baldwin is hot in his supporting role. Joan Cusak is hilarious. Old fashioned by today's standards with no CGI, just good story, dialogue and acting. Has a memorable song by Carly Simon. Every inch an 80's film.Overall rating: 9 out of 10.

I really adore this movie and good Lord, so many people with big hair back then! Joan Cusack didn't look too bad with that hairstyle, she really looked so hip back then! Who knew she would be known as the voice of Jessy in Toy Story within the next decade?! Honestly I'm happy she was discovered and of course, part of my childhood. Anyways I love how Sigourney Weaver was just the bad sexy villain in this, she is just stunning like, why did Harrison have to deny her? Haha I liked how the story was set, especially the beginning where we can see a close up of the Statue of Liberty and the whole view of New York in the 80's. It's such a shame that the twin towers are not there anymore and the fact, it said some of the scenes took place in one of the towers offices. It's just amazing in movies on how you don't mind the background set, unless you read it somewhere to find out that there's a history behind it all!I loved the acting, the romance and the humour in this film. It deserves a 9/10 from me definitely ;)
