Working Girl (1988)
7/10
Entertaining well acted 80s comedy
17 March 2017
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.
