    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? Now that I actually have a corporate type job, I think working back then kicks ass and I?d be a star. But this movie does have charm to this day. Unbe...( read more)lievable scenarios and morally sketchy, but fun, and sometime funny. Nothing I ever really reach for or sit around for everytime its on, but this time I did. 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.

    Michael J. Fox is the epitome of sweet, but his acting is pretty non-existent. This film had a crazy plot that has been re-used again and again, and the quirky soundtrack didn't make much difference. All quirk, but no worth.

    A typical 80's Michael J. Fox movie, complete with dated looks and music.

    michael j fox, an 80's icon.

    a funny and witty film, with great sequences, its got it all

    centred around fox's character who wants to become an executive and finally show his talents, but has to start at the bottom, so he decided to make soem new rules and pulls a shortcut ...( read more)and pretends to be an executive.

    love squares!, business, love and good fun is in this film.

    a brilliant film with my favourite sone, walki8ng on sunshine.

    one of the good films of the 80's. the light hearted comedy. a sweet story with a romance within it. is a film worth seeing and will appeal to anyone.

    Wonderful film, still good after all these years, a sort-of male version of "Working Girl"

    Country boy makes good and not only does he get what he wants, he also gets the girl too.



    I had forgotten how cute Michael J. Fox was in those days, especially as he stri...( read more)ps off a lot in this film.



    The bedroom chase scene is brilliant and the music for the whole film is wonderful, it may sound a little dated now, but heck I'm an 80's kid at heart!

    Ha! I went and saw this when I was about 10, based on the fact that Marty McFly was in it. Baaaaaad marketer. Kinda difficult to rate so....

    An enjoyable but terrible movie. Really weighed down by the crossed up love side of the movie. Very funny, in a cheesy 80s sort of way.

    Vera Prescott: What, you're going to charge me? Oh ho, you're getting awfully cynical - does your mother know about this?
    Brantley Foster: Ohh, no, I am not available.
    Vera Prescott: Oh, good, you're not going to charge me.

    Brantley Foster: Whoa, whoa, listen, I'm going to need your help, both of you.
    Fred Melrose: Is it something I could get fired for?
    Brantley Foster: Absolutely.

    Brantley Foster: My lunch.
    Fred Melrose: Your lunch? In a briefcase?
    Brantley Foster: Yeah. I ran out of brown bags.

    Hasn't aged well, but Michael J. Fox is well on form in this corporate ladder lite film.

    Despite an unrealistic plot, capped off by a completely ridiculous ending, Michael J Fox never fails to entertain. And who doesn't love the 80s montages?
