Some good laughs here and there, Melanie Griffin, Joan Cuasack, and Sigourny Weaver all were great in this movie. Harrison Ford didn't match in his part for some reason...... Full review

But Griffith -- at least within the limited boundaries of this movie -- takes Manhattan.
But it's a slow descent, thanks to the breathy, Monroesque Melanie Griffith -- who rolls up her Journal, slips in those shoulder pads and wins everyone over as Tess McGill, a secretary with smarts who's upwardly mobile and can still fall in love between memos.

Working Girl" has a heady '40s atmosphere, lusciously photographed by Michael Ballhaus.
"Working Girl" is a delectable reworking of the ultimate girl's myth, a corporate Cinderella story with shades of a self-made Pygmalion.

Working Girl is a great story about an underdog who makes it on her own talent and determination.
Working Girl is loaded with great lines.
The greatness of Working Girl is that Tess does not just bitch and whine about her circumstance.

That's the setup for " Working Girl ," the new Mike Nichols film, which is one of those entertainments where you laugh a lot along the way, and then you end up on the edge of your seat at the end.
Because we may remember her from those sex-drenched roles, there is a way in which both Griffith and her character are both trying to get respectable - to assimilate everything that goes along with "serious hair.
