Movie Reviews of The Barefoot Executive
Movie Review: Entertaining family comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a "good, clean, family" movie. Nothing objectionable for younger children, while still making my older teen laugh. It has value because it teaches fame and riches are not worth losing your personal integrity; honesty and keeping your word.
There are a number of scenes that made us laugh, especially one out on a window ledge where Wally Cox and Joe Flynn kept us laughing for almost ten minutes with their classic screwball expressions and antics.
Kurt Russell has a girlfriend,but there is not even any sexual innuendo.
The chimp is cute and funny.
This is our favorite Kurt Russell Disney movie, definitely more entertaining than The Strongest Man in the World and The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.
Summary of The Barefoot Executive
In the great Disney tradition of wild family fun, a young Kurt Russell stars as Steven Post -- an ambitious mailroom clerk at a second-rate TV network. With his eye on the boardroom, and getting nowhere with the studio's top dog, he makes a career-changing discovery. His girlfriend's lovable pet chimp can pick a hit show every time! His secret for success turns into madcap monkey business when he makes vice president and jealous rivals want in on the act. Ride along with narrow escapes and a classic cast featuring Joe Flynn and Harry Morgan in a comedic climb up the corporate ladder that will leave you howling for more!A young Kurt Russell stars in this good-natured comedy. Steve Stone is an ambitious mailroom clerk at a third-rate television network when he stumbles onto the fact that his girlfriend's pet chimpanzee, Raffles, can pick ratings winners. Suddenly he's well on his way up the corporate ladder and getting his network to No.?1. Keeping Raffles and his abilities a secret provide the perfect setting for wacky, wicked comedy. The truly funny cast of Joe Flynn, Harry Morgan, Wally Cox, John Ritter, and others make up the executives and their cohorts. Not wanting to be made fools of, the executives try to save their dignity as well as their jobs by relocating Raffles. There's lots of physical comedy and downright silliness. Talk about monkey business! Released in 1971, this film can appear dated at times, but the story still holds up today. A likable, fun movie that harks back to a time of innocent mischief. Refreshingly void of techno gadgets and helmet laws, this film is just good, clean, wholesome fun for the whole family. --Peggy Maltby-Etra
