Plot: Rich but repulsive teenager Jessie (Ally Sheedy) can't stand the notion that the whole world doesn't jump to the crack of her whip. Her overindulgent father, millionaire Charles Montgomery (Tom Skerritt), wishes he could teach his daughter a lesson, but can't bring himself to deny his little darling everything her heart desires. Unfortunately, she gets her comeuppance when, after finding out that Jessie has been arrested, her father mutters a wish that she'd never been born. Zap! Enter fairy godmother Beverly D'Angelo, who grants the girl her wish. With no name, no friends, and no money, Jessie has no choice but to look for work. She is hired as a maid by a filthy-rich Malibu couple (Valerie Perrine and Dick Shawn), whose selfish excesses make Jessie look like Pollyanna. Worse still, Jessie is compelled by circumstance to meet up with her father, who doesn't even recognize her. The key to the film's success is the wonderfully many-sided performance of Ally Sheedy. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Maid to order, masterpiece

This movie is just great! Actually I'm a huge fan of popular-romantic-teen movies like this, but spite their aparentely silly plots they are not so easy to make. It is hard to find one with such great costume design, music, timing and script all directly in harmony! All the outfits and dialogs are divine speaclly jessie's navy blue ball dress and Georgette outfits. Beverly D'Angelo is wondefull as jessie's fairy godmother. And there is a clip of "too bored to die" in the beginning of the movie, witch was a great surprise to find.

This is a story about the switch in lifestyle that so many people really need to go thru to have a better understanding for the other side. This girl really have to walk a mile in somebody elses shoes. With warmth and a lot of humour you really get a feeling for this young girls road to a more understanding young woman. Ally Sheedy makes a great perfomance in the role of the maid.

Cinderella????

Does it seem right for a spoiled, rich girl to lose everything in order to find what she really wants? Her fairy godmother thinks so. Cinderella move over...you've got help on the way. Being a maid is not exactly Jesse Montgomery's dream, but in order to find love and real happiness it's got to happen. The ending is predictable but would you have it any other way?
