| Chicago TribuneRichard ChristiansenIt's a lamebrained movie, without much sense in its construction. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonThe structure here is a bit like '50s social comedies but there's no satiric force, just chutzpah and energy. The movie confuses iconoclasm with wit, and bile with guts; it's mostly thin and mean-spirited. |
| User ReviewLisa SAnother funny and slighty underrated Judge Reinhold film. |
| User ReviewAj VStar studded comedy is kind of like an Office Space for the 80s, except not as funny. Heck, maybe they'll say that about Office Space in another ten years. |
| User ReviewMichael WRecent grad gets immersed into corrupt corporate America in this comedy that frantically throws out anything it can but only sporadically scores laughs. Many familiar faces in small roles, including promoter Don King in an amusing cameo in the Board Room. |
| User ReviewRobert ISurrealist comedy about Corporate America... Yet, there's no laughs to be found. Sad given the cast with very minor roles. |
| User ReviewNick MHere a mediocre 1986 comedy that starts out strong with a lot of potential, then hits a dead end where it abandons subplots, wastes characters and waters down its cynical overview. The honorable Judge Reinhold is always cool to watch though, so if you're a fan of his work, then this should be on your see list. |
| User ReviewDanny RNew recruit quickly moves up the corporate ladder for no good reason in a large conglomerate where people regularly get fired or jump from the office window. A bit of a hit and miss affair with the misses winning out more often. The jokes feel like they are just thrown out there to see what works. Often a bit too over-the-top for its own good. Did appreciate the appearance of Don King in the boardroom. |
