Great Movie Great Score
Added 8/27/2009
The great Mike Nichols directed a perfect cast in this top notch romantic comedy with a Women Rights message to boot. Griffith in her best most appealing role ever. Ford is funny, handsome, and charming, what's not to like. The supporting cast is phenomenal, Weaver is dynamite as Griffith's mentor and rival and Cusack is just plain hilarious. The Carly Simon score is inspired.

Romance At It's Best!!
Added 6/3/2009
The movie itself had a good story line, with a perfect touch of romance.
I love Harrison Ford and Melanie Grffith, they are perfect together in this movie, not to mention Alec Baldwin, Sigourney Weaver and Joan Cusack.

an office drudge to climber Cinderella story?
Added 5/31/2009
This movie is a breaking down the glass ceiling movie about developing a profitable idea, getting it past the dragon lady boss,and finding Prince Charming. A Jersey side secretary puts in the hours, but gets no respect because humble origins; her Jersey boy friend is a "snake"( her words).
This is the 80's resurgence of the American Empire as a romantic comedy.
Actually Melanie Griffith is more than a pretty face her,
but the concept of a climber is not all that new.
Doing an end run around the bad guy ( girl) , she gets the whole deal.

The Bottom Line:
One of the most dated movies I can think of and a thoroughly overrated piece of filmmaking that somehow scored Melanie Griffith an Oscar nomination for her grating, word-by-word line readings, Working Girl is only of interest for people with misguided 80s nostalgia or very strong feminism.

Melanie Griffith is Tess McGill, a very ambitious secretary, when fortune gives her a once-in-a-liftime break - her boss(Sigourney Weaver), classy but a real pain, breaks a leg while skiing and Tess steps in and takes over her office, her apartment, even her wardrobe. In this guise, she proposes a daring plan to an investment banker(Harrison Ford); this daring proposal will either shoot her right to the top or finish her off for good. You will become enamored with Tess and wish her all the success that she deserves which makes this film always fun.
