About this movie

Tess McGill is smart, gorgeous and struggling. Her life seems to have become an endless round of Staten Island Ferry commutes, lecherous bosses and low pay. However, she's determined to use her brains and talent to pull herself out of the secretarial pool and into the upper echelons of New York's brokerage industry. Before long, Tess realizes that she's in combat zone, and that she'll have to use commando tactics if she wants to survive. Mike Nicholos' WORKING GIRL is a comedy-drama that takes the sweet, but street-smart Tess (Melanie Griffith) on the trip up that treacherous corporate ladder. Harrison Ford plays Jack Trainer, a white collar Prince Charming who becomes Tess' ally, and Sigourney Weaver is her high-powered boss.

First off, movies don't have gender - no such things as chick flicks or prick flicks so Gavin can shut his sexist mouth. Anyone can watch whatever they want, and indeed guys should watch this get an idea what it's like for women and also learn how *not to behave. The payoff and to see how the Big Apple looked in the 80s was worth sitting through this; but honestly, it's not something i want to watch again: It was mostly just kinda gross in a way, and when Tess and Jack were declaring their love for one another after one night of sex, that just killed any credibility. So... meh.

Funny, silly and easy to watch movie. It may have some dated gender stereotypes but its feel good theme should warm anyone's heart. Brilliant one liners particularly from Joan Cusack - "coffee? Tea? Me?" With the Carly Simon soundtrack it's a must watch.
