Working Girl (1988), 2.5 Stars

Joan Cusack

Another movie found on Netflix. A slow-moving story that took a while to build and resolve about a woman trying to move ahead in the (male-dominated) work force of the financial sector.

You should check out the all-star cast of current (in 1988) and future stars including (but not limited to): Melanie Griffith, who received an Oscar nomination for her work; Harrison Ford, shot after the Star Wars trilogy but in the midst of the Indiana Jones series - it is quite a different character for him and sometimes he doesn't appear comfortable in his role; Sigourney Weaver, in between her Ghostbusters roles; and, Joan Cusack, who was recognized for her comedic work in this off-the-wall role as well as a couple of other films shot around the same time.

Working Girl is also worth a look to see some of the sites and styles of New York City (including the Twin Towers). You might like it.
