"Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will." - Cynthia

Why watch this? This is really an inspiring film for ladies who should believe in themselves.

Plot Summary: Tess McGill, a determined working-class woman from Staten Island, struggles to advance beyond her secretarial role in the male-dominated Wall Street world. When her ambitious, but unscrupulous, boss, Katherine Parker, breaks her leg on a skiing trip, Tess discovers Katherine's plan to steal her brilliant idea for a corporate acquisition. Tess decides to seize the opportunity, secretly posing as an executive who teams up with investment broker, Jack Trainer.

Dad's Preview: For a small stretch of time in the '80's, Melani Griffith made some really nice films. It started with Something Wild (1986), then came this gem. True, it's a Rom-Com, however, it's more about the determination of a young lady to break out her class (she's a secretary), and her sex (Wall Street is a man's world). Her transformation is amazing to watch. She's supported by her best friend Cynthia, and handsome broker, Jack Trainer.
