7/8ths Perfect, 5 December 2003
7/10
Author: Daniel Coffey (mauditeanglo@hotmail.com) from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

This movie, like many in the 1980's suffers from studio slandering. The movie is brilliantly funny for the first half. An original satire on the wall street world. The second half and climax suffers from weak plotting and a silly shoot-out. Like most eighties movies. I still don't understand why they thought every comedy ought to have had one. Definitely watch this movie though. You will laugh alot.
