Movie Review: QUIRKY COMEDY FROM THE EIGHTIES
Summary: 4 Stars
A fairly strong recommendation for a charming feel-good entertainer about a young gun making it to the top, starting of course from the mail roon. We might as well have called it "The secret of how I succeeded without really trying". The script is thus obviously doozy and relies on some major implausible situational gaffes, but the energy of Michael Fox and the brilliant comic timing of Margaret Whitton as his aunt makes it all borderline credible. Plus, the snappy final half hour is the best part of the film, with some thoughtful romance thrown in for good measure. I guess we all have a hint of Bradley (Fox' character) buried in ourselves. A fun rental to lighten things up.Movie Review: Greater Than the Sum of its Parts
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, so maybe it really deserves 3 and 1/2 stars. As someone who went to college in the 1980s and did the New York corporate ladder thing, though, this film, for some reason, captures those times better than any I've seen. The nervous tics, the lack of trust, the yearning for intimacy, overall cluelessness, even the earnest act of pretending not to take any of it too seriously, all very authentic. Is it a put on? Yeah, but so were the 80s. So don't rent "Wall Street" or any of the other films of this genre which take themselves way too seriously. Fox and Slater deliver the goods, though you might forget what film you were watching two hours later.Movie Review: Marty McFly plus Supergirl equal love!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really was smitten with this comedy, and it is now marked as one of my all-time favorite films! Helen and Michael have really good chemistry together as Chrissy Wells and Brantly Foster(a.k.a. Carlton Whitfield)! First Michael is definately smitten by her when he first meets her at the water fountain, and then he grows fond of her more as they go out together! If I had to pick a favorite scene, it would be when they share their first kiss on the boat! True magic right there! It's too bad they didn't make a sequal to this, it would have been great to see the both of them again!Movie Review: Any side fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Producers know better what this story is about-is it a parody on American opportunities concentrated absurdly on NYC establishment or just a realm of possibilities Kansas young opportunistic professional deploys with all his endings actively while climbing a corporate leader an uncle helped him to clinch to, through bedrooms of uncle's wife and mistress up to vacating a top post own uncle was working at for himself?
It is nice movie in any case.

Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very funny movie. It is a classic 80's movie. You have everything from the love stroy to the for the family story. Micheal J. Fox did a very well job in this movie and so did the other actors. This is a good movie to watch on a friday night.
