Description

Can a kid from Kansas come to New York to conquer the business world and maneuver his way from the mailroom to the boardroom in a matter of weeks? Michael J. Fox proves it can be done in this very funny lampoon of corporate business life. Fresh out of college, he's determined to climb New York's corporate ladder in record time by masquerading as an up-and-coming executive, even though he's really the new mail boy. However, Fox's plans begin to go awry when the boss's wife falls in love with him and he falls in love with a junior executive, who also happens to be the boss's mistress.

    Have lost count how many times I have come back to watching this film over the years. Michael J Fox was perfectly cast and Helen Slater was mesmerising in the female lead role. The supporting actors (special mention to the actress who plays Auntie Vera who is a stand out) are all spot on in their roles. A true 80s gem. But it still stands up today and so much fun to watch. Can’t sell this film enough, it truly is amazing and hilarious in the situation comedy it portrays. Another massive shout out to the soundtrack too. David Foster is one of the greatest modern composers and no surprise following this film he has gone on to have such an impressive career. You won’t regret a purchase or rental of this film. Uplifting and a true classic of its time.

    This is such a lovely movie, such feel good factor and innocence in it. You can watch again and again and never get bored. Michael J Fox at his peak of his career. They don't make movie like that these days. Enjoy it.
