    All I remember is that he bones his aunt and then realisticaly climbs the corporate latter. (Update) It turns out its not his aunt at all and it was just a horrible 80's movie. Damn you nostalgia!!! The flexing scene is the only funny thing still.

    80?s movies. And did anyone involved in this ever have a real corporate job? Or is this actually how business worked in the 80?s?

And I loved Helen Slater as a kid. She was supergirl. And Michael J. Fox was great in all his roles. He picked well. I even liked him in Casualties of War. Never saw Bright Lights or Light of Day though. I need to see them. Joan Jett and Trent Reznor? C?mon!

    A classic movie from the 80's. Michael J. Fox is excellent in this. This is a funny film. About a young man who tires and move his way to the top of a company. The look, clothes and the music all give it that 80's feel. A fun film that I have always enjoyed watching.
