Tame remake of "How to Succeed.." with the songs or energy. Typical proto yuppie 80s movie. Unfortunately it is right for these times of unparalleled excess.

I think movies like this is what killed Rock & Roll.

I enjoyed the last 1/3 of the movie more than the first 2/3.

Movie is not bad, however I have NEVER watched a movie where the sound track music is so over bearing. Simply stated it ruins a decent story. I would immediately fire the sound director and perhaps make this a decent production, which he ruined by loud obnoxious music.

Imagine Alex P Keaton (Family Ties 온라인카지노추천 show), finally enters the workforce after college. Michael J Fox delivers in a role that inspired many Gen Xers into corporate positions. If you were lucky to work on Wall Street back in the day then you knew this movie. It's utter nonsense plot but Fox makes it believable and likeable in a 1980s kind of way (if you liked Mannequin you understand). Music track was good, good chemistry between actors, the attitude of "if you can make it here then you can make it anywhere" NY slogan... Best inspirational scene is brief clip of Fox in his hometown telling parents he's determined to make it.

I remember seeing this movie in the movie theater when it was released back in the late 80's as a 20-something college student. It was a corny, feel-good movie back then (typical 80's) and a much cornier movie today. The movie has a strong 80's sound track and a great performance by Margaret Whitton as Vera which saved the movie from disaster. So I watched it when it was brand new, watched it once again after 35+ years, and I do not feel the need to ever watch it again.

Michael J. Fox and Helen Slater were fantastic, but Margaret Whitton stole the show every time she entered the screen. This movie is a classic that stands the test of time.

I like it a lot. It has aged very well. From the awful hairstyles of that era and the making fun of the yuppies. Its a bit madcap and silly but good fun. A pleasant diversion from the serious stuff. The boss's wife got the best part which she plays very nicely. Fox does Fox.

It's a great film if you lived during the 80th yr. Otherwise is nothing particular.

Typical mid-80s film, with sleaze, mega-sized shoulder pads, sexual innuendo and the ideal of chasing capitalism like it's a fluffy-cloud dream. Some humour, but not much. The story is fun enough. The acting is not great

Loved it! A fun flashback to the 80's music, fashion (those horrible shoulder pads!) and Yuppies trying to make it on Wall Street. A young Michael J. Fox is adorable.

Yep, the music is dated and it's corny in some spots but overall a good fun movie with great acting performances. Also for anyone with ambition you'll definitely enjoy the movie, a great reminder to be ambitious but not take the corporate world too seriously. I first saw this movie when I was a twenty something in my first few years working in Manhattan....reminds me of what a great time it is when you're having your first successes......

A great cast having lots of fun in a throwback screwball comedy, that contemporizes the story with issues that the youth were beginning to face in the 80s. When wasn't Michael j Fox fun though?

Michael J. Fox needs a time machine to rethink doing this film.

I love Michael and this movie is one of his best! It's funny, witty and gives an air of hopefulness. It is an 80s movie and they're different from new releases. If you can go into it understanding the era you'll love every second. Love you MJF!! Keep fighting and inspiring us!

If you like 80s movies this is a great movie to watch

An unremarkable watch, not planning on watching again, and can't recommend. I just checked out in the 3rd act (where all the action was). In 1987, maybe there weren't a lot of movies like this, and someone had the idea to make the kid from "Back to the Future" (Michael J. Fox) work really hard for his next paycheck, but today we have lots of comedic actors that work as hard or harder (not that Mr. Fox ever did not put his all into his work) for bigger results and better written movies. So not only did I not care about the characters, the chaos, or the result, its a little bland. It was well produced and performed, I'm just not sure why they did it on this story. Today, watch "Wolf of Wall Street" instead: its just a better use of your time.

This movie is a classic! If you love the 80's, you'll find nostalgia in this movie. Superstar Michael J. Fox gives a captivating performance as Brantley Foster, a recent college graduate who travels from a small town in Kansas to NYC for a new job. After his arrival to New York, he immediately discovers that he's been eliminated from his position due to economic cutbacks and eventually is forced to take a job from his uncle, a shirt tale relative, to say the least. Brantley starts work in the mail room and quickly climbs the ladder to executive when he poses as another employee under the name Carlton Whitfield. He quickly learns that the company needs to expand and is in danger of a hostile takeover. His privy knowledge quickly leads to the secret of his success. Sadly, Hollywood doesn't make movies like this anymore. The film score by David Foster is a key component to the 80's nostalgia. The story is ridiculous and incredibly unrealistic which adds to it's greatness. Highly underrated and deserves to be on every streaming service for the rest of eternity!

I think this is a classic underdog story and its been a favorite of mine for a long time. I have nothing bad to say about it and it being an 80's movie its surprisingly relatable and still funny. 10/10 would reccomend to anyone.

Great story and awesome soundtrack
