Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

When a secretary's idea is stolen by her boss, she seizes an opportunity to steal it back by pretending she has her boss' job. Working Girl benefits from it's strong Cast and it's excellent story. Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford are brilliant and except their great chemistry they both give 2 excellent and strong perfomances in the leading roles and the same goes for Sigourney Weaver. People who love a good romance/drama won't be disappointed.

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.

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.

Tess McGill (Melanie Griffith) is a smart, plucky, investment worker. She tries to climb the corporate ladder, but she's constantly held back by the sexist environment, and her night school college degree. When she is assigned to be Katharine Parker (Sigourney Weaver)'s secretary, she hoped that things would finally change. She shares a business idea with Katharine. When she finds that Katharine is claiming the idea for herself, Tess takes matters into her own hands.The subject matter, the style, and the humor is pure 80's. The hair is insane. And there is no accounting for the fashion. It is jaw dropping and unintentionally funny.As for the story, it's a fairly good happy rom-com from veteran director Mike Nichols. This is possibly Melanie Griffith's best work. She has just enough pluckiness and is a complete sweetheart. Sigourney Weaver is showing her comedic chops. And Harrison Ford is actually a great rom-com leading man.
