As much as I like Michael J. Fox then this movie just didn't really sit well with me. Why? Well, simply because it wasn't particularly funny and because the story was just too unrealistic to the point where it was just too much.
The story is about an ambitious young man (played by Michael J. Fox) who has moved from Kansas to New York. But when his promised job fails to come through, he is forced to take on a job at his uncle's company starting out in the mailroom. And while the boss's wife falls in love with him and he falls in love with a young executive, things quickly get messed up.
Sure, the story had potential, but buying into the fact that someone in the mailroom could pass as an executive without anyone raising an eyebrow was just too far out there - too unrealistic.
While Michael J. Fox performed well in "The Secret of My Succe$s", then he actually had very little to work with in terms of script and storyline.
What is impressive, though, is the cast list with so many familiar faces, even in relatively small roles.
All in all, not a memorable movie, and I didn't even laugh a single time throughout the course of the entire movie.
