WORKING GIRL

Hey everyone. I'm here to tell you this: I saw this movie about a year ago (it's September of 2004 now) for the first time. When I first saw it, I had to see it for a class I was taking. And usually I'm quite disappointed with the movies assigned in classes these days. For the first 20 or 30 minutes, I thought Working Girl was going to be another boring movie. However, as time went on, it not only grew on me, but I found myself watching parts of it over and over again (especially the music parts - excellent songs!) before I'd even finished the movie entirely. The heroine is an excellent actress for this part - she's sweet and has big dreams, and that makes it extra special because she's just a low-level worker with a lot of knowledge. Villains! 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. What strikes the viewer most is how emotional he will get while watching this film. I found myself crying on more than one occasion and it's just a very good movie! I really feel this film should have won a few oscars - it's that good. If you haven't seen this movie - SEE THIS MOVIE TOMORROW! I'm quite serious good chaps. Working Girl is in the same class as 'Ben-Hur', 'Doctor Zhivago', 'Who Shot Liberty Valence', 'The Guns of Naverrone', 'Dances With Wolves', 'Ladyhawke', 'The Great Race', 'Excalibur', and 'The Pink Panther' series. As you can see, I like a gamut of movie types and most of them are from the older styles (pre-1992). Being 24 years old myself, I was born in that period where western films were 'not so good, not so bad'. However, I can assure you of this: Movie quality has definitely gone down since the early '90s. An example of this: Batman (1989) was an excellent action movie, though not a classic by any measure. Nevertheless, as an action film it excelled, while nowdays, it's hard to get anything of Batman's calibre! WORKING GIRL is an excellent family movie, to watch with friends, or to just view alone. I guarantee you will like it if your taste is anything like mine. So far, everyone I have shown it to agrees it's VERY GOOD. I hope the audience will do me and itself a favour by seeing it :)

Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver, Harrison Ford, Joan Cusack, and (surprisingly) Alec Baldwin all deliver spot on performances. A great movie that shows you don’t judge a book by its cover.

I love this movie, it has Harrison Ford, Melanie Griffith, and Sigorney Weaver. I think about lot of people can relate to Griffith character, and what it takes to climb to the top. A great film about success.

I have seen this movie a few times. Aside from the 80/90s fashions, it is timeless. The acting is superb and the plot is fantastic.

Wonderful movie. Melanie Griffith & Harrison Ford were great in this. Good story line. I have watched it several times over the years.

It's a sad fact of life that many beloved films don't age well; what seemed funny in the 80s can seem trite and contrived two decades later. Mike Nichols' "Working Girl", thankfully, is NOT in that category...it is as bright, witty, and endearing today as it was when 'big hair' was in fashion, and the World Trade Center was the pinnacle of the New York City skyline. The continuing appeal is due, in no small part, to the exceptional cast. Melanie Griffith, whose acting skills had been buried in minor 'nymphet' roles for a decade, seized the chance to finally display them, as a beautiful blue collar worker with the talent and drive to be much more. Signorney Weaver, equally good, has a field day as the manipulative, spoiled, 'silver spoon'-fed executive who arrogantly walks over everyone around her, making Griffith's decision to take advantage of an accident seem entirely justified. As the object of both women's desire, Harrison Ford, despite top billing, is really a supporting player to his two co-stars, but he fills the bill with a sweetness and charm that he seldom got to display in the Han Solo/Indiana Jones days. With the three leads in top form, and Mike Nichols at his most audience-friendly, the film had all the elements for an enduring classic. If you haven't seen "Working Girl" lately, check it out again, not only for the leads, but as an opportunity to enjoy Joan Cusack's "Way-80s" take as Griffith's best friend, a young, slim Alec Baldwin as the less-than-faithful boyfriend (TRIVIA: Tom Clancy's first two 'Jack Ryan' actors, Baldwin and Ford, appear in this film), and watch for small but memorable performances by Oliver Platt and Kevin Spacey (who NEVER seems to age!) And enjoy Carly Simon's Oscar-winning anthem, "Let the River Run", as rousing as the film, itself. This is a 'Cinderella' tale that doesn't lose it's charm!

A great movie, one of the better works of Mike Nichols, and he has done a lot of great work. This is ultimately a film about human relationships, ambition, truth, taking risks, and being fearless in the corporate world. There are lots of ups and downs in this film, the character Tess risks it all... and you don't know until the end how it will work out. The acting and directing are superb. It can be argued that Trask would be ultimately concerned that the deal would work out, he would purchase his network, and not be so concerned about who's idea the transaction really was. But it is possible that Trask ran a life with such integrity, that this was very important to him. There are such people, they are rare, but they do exist. It appears that both of the owners (leaders) may have been such people... and in that case, this could be a realistic outcome. A great movie. If you haven't seen it, watch it.
