“Whenever I see groups of people in suits slaving away at their laptops and wonder what they are doing, I am reminded of this film. The suits who donu0026#39;t talk to the mailroom staff, whose ties cut off the flow of blood to their brains, and who cut down the effectiveness of their company are looked at with a jaundiced eye.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIs it possible for a someone from the mailroom to open up an office, get himself a secretary, and start operating within the organisation as a suit? Itu0026#39;s ridiculous, of course. Utter fantasy. Or is it? I would find it unbelievable, had I not witnessed for myself the kind of conditions that would allow this sort of thing to happen in a large organisation. I dare say anyone who had the nerve could do it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMichael J Fox turns in a good performance as the protagonist. Fred Gwynne is very photogenic, and Margaret Whitton is excellent as the protagonistu0026#39;s leggy, amorous aunt-in-law.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is well worth watching.”
