Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

bheadher I'm actually surprised that Working Girl didn't have far more reviews than it got here. It's an all around story, that touches on a variety of subjects, and makes them funny, sad, uplifting, and heart warming, all at the same time...Without going into too many details, Working Girl also demonstrates a bit of the topic of high level Corporate wheeling and dealing...weaving that into a delightful couple hours of popcorn munching fun...

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.

Davis P Classic 80s Melanie Griffith movie Working Girl is a very well acted comedy that will entertain. Griffith does a wonderful job with the lead performance, and the supporting cast shines as well. Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, and Joan Cusack are all very good in their roles. I especially enjoyed Cusack and her comical performance as Griffith's's best friend. She has many clever funny lines of dialogue that fit the essence of Joan very well. Weaver turns in a good, believable performance as the boss lady, and Harrison isn't bad? I wouldn't say that his performance is quite to the level of the others, but that certainly doesn't mean he is lackluster. Oh and I almost forgot about Alec Baldwin, he is a supporting character here too, one of his earliest roles. The writing is pretty good, it's comical the majority of the film, with occasional scenes that are serious. The film is very 80s, hopefully you know what I mean when I say that. Complete with many 80s pop culture references, the style of the clothes (especially Joan Cusack), and music filled sequences, meaning the nude vacuuming. I think that if you are a fan of movies from the 1980s, and of the cast members, then you'll enjoy this film. 7/10.

csimpkins53 If Katherine and Jack are so close to being married why does Jack not know that Tess is in Katherine's office? I would think that if a couple is that close to being married they would be quite familiar with each others offices. Anyway, I do like this movie. I've probably seen it 7 or eight times. I'm a heterosexual male, I love women and consider myself to be a gentleman and I feel so sorry for Tess in the horrible way that nearly everyone treats her! The character of Tess is that of a good woman and it hurts me to see a good woman mistreated. With the exception of Jack and her fellow secretaries almost everyone treats her like dirt! Including her sleazy "boyfriend" played by Alec Baldwin, her low as pond scum male co-workers not to mention the quintessential bitch Katherine! All of this, of course eventually results in a great "feel good" ending which causes me to cheer for Tess's triumph!
