A top-drawer romantic comedy with all the right ingredients in place.

In Mike Nichols' fairy tale about the workforce, Melanie Griffith gives a charming performance as an absued scretary who decides to take charge of her life and in the process also gets the lover of her bitchy boss (well played by Sigourney Weaver).

Wait... Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford can be funny? And Melanie Griffith can act? Crazy!
