Movie Reviews of Career Opportunities
Movie Review: Late 80's & Early 90's Innocence
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie! I see it several times, because it takes away my stress. It's has such funny characters. I would say that it's displays the theatrical bridge between the 80's and 90's. It has an innocence within an ambient of security that small towns had at the time. If you like malls you'll find this movie to be a lot of fun. The fantasy of being in a huge store and playing with all the stuff is very soothing. It's a movie for those who find theft to be wrong, yet recognize that it's tempting. Frank Whaley is a real character; he would make an awesome talk show host! The scenes where the characters save the day give the happy ending a real boost.

If you're a lifetime member of the Jennifer Connelly fan club, you'll be in the passionate minority of people (100% male) who won't care that this 1991 comedy is wallowing in its own oily puddle of lameness. The gorgeous Ms. Connelly is conspicuously put on display in this typically lightweight fluff from writer-producer John Hughes. Frank Whaley does his best to liven up the male-fantasy plot about a semi-nerdy teen who gets a night-watchman job in a variety store, only to find himself locked in overnight with the local knockout (Connelly), who's as rich as she is beautiful. She's also really unhappy with her home life and her bully boyfriend (Dermot Mulroney), so it's Frank's big opportunity to make his move as a sympathetic Romeo. Shallow and contrived, the movie does have its standard moments of John Hughes delicacy, and a cameo by the late John Candy scores bonus points for comedy. Still, it's clear that the movie exists primarily to satisfy adolescent lust--and with Connelly as the object of desire, this otherwise tiresome comedy is a triumph of wish-fulfillment casting. --Jeff Shannon
