The Boss' Wife (1986). 1h 23m | R

“Joel Keefer (Daniel Stern) and Janet Keefer (Melanie Mayron) are a married couple having trouble conceiving. Heu0026#39;s a busy low level stockbroker. Louise Roalvang (Arielle Dombasle) is the wife of the boss Mr. Roalvang (Christopher Plummer) who loves image above skills. Tony Dugdale (Martin Mull) is the top analyst despite his incompetence due to Roalvang loving his hair. Joel takes on Tony which gets heated when a department head job opens up. They are going to a resort to battle it out. Carlos Delgado (Fisher Stevens) is an outrageous experimental artist.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis comedy starts fine. I like the couple initially but he starts to annoy me over time. I generally like Daniel Stern, but he is too bumbling and heu0026#39;s a big jerk to Janet in one scene. If heu0026#39;s being idiotic, thereu0026#39;s less reason to pick him for the job. He is still much better than the annoying Fisher Stevens. This comedy rises and falls on Joelu0026#39;s likeability. I donu0026#39;t think I like him. He needs to be much nicer to Janet.”
