Reviews for Working Girl
Griffith's talent, energy, and sexiness give it some drive and punch.
05/27/08
Funny, touching and tremendously buoyant, this is a feel-good movie with smarts.
05/27/08
Working Girl is enjoyable largely due to the fun of watching scrappy, sexy, unpredictable Melanie Griffith rise from Staten Island secretary to Wall Street whiz.
05/27/08
Top CriticA top-drawer romantic comedy with all the right ingredients in place.
05/27/08
In Mike Nichols' fairy tale about the workforce, Melanie Griffith gives a charming performance as an absued scretary who decides to take charge of her life and in the process also gets the lover of her bitchy boss (well played by Sigourney Weaver).
02/29/08
80s corporate hokum rescued by another very funny turn from Sigourney Weaver.
05/13/07
The film lobbies passionately for Tess’s agency, intelligence, and shrewd business-sense and yet still manages to find time to ogle her "bod for sin."
08/01/06
The interaction between the female leads is so funny that you don't care if the leading man never turns up.
