The Secret of My Success Reviews

A classic 80s movie with Michael J. Fox at his finest. The idea of this movie is as good in execution as it seems on paper, actually probably a lot better than it looks on paper. Whether it's the odd, slightly incestuous relationships or the orchestra of sex, there's never really any dull moments in this at all. The main story is hard not to get into, mainly because it's so funny to see Michael J. Fox running around trying to be two people at once. Obviously if you hate 80s comedies this isn't something you should see because it features all the classic qualities of the decade. Featuring "Oh Yeah" by Yello no less than two times and having a soundtrack number every for minutes kind've shows you how fast paced and kooky this can get at times.

A yuppie trying to rise up to the top has his life complicated by love. This is a great 80s flick, very funny and very timely. Fox is great as usual, and so is Slater. I really like this movie, and I recommend seeing it.

Such a cute movie!!!! Michael J. Fox is just sooooo adorable I think once I started watching Family Ties my obsession began lol! :)

One of my favourite 80?s films. It makes me want to go ?Ooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeah? in a really deep voice just thinking about it!

All I remember is that he bones his aunt and then realisticaly climbs the corporate latter. (Update) It turns out its not his aunt at all and it was just a horrible 80's movie. Damn you nostalgia!!! The flexing scene is the only funny thing still.

I always have great meomories when watching this movie. The soundtrack is "totally" the 80's. Michael J. Fox and Helen Slater (whom I have liked for a long while) are a good team for a romance in corporate NYC. Will success come Michael's way and love..you will have to watch to find out. One of my favorite scenes is of Michael's character being a limo driver for this older woman that he is finiding attractive....the music is perfect....love it!!

Well written 80's comedy with Michael J Fox and Helen Slater.

A fun comedy with Michael J. Fox entering the corporate world. A nice diversion.

Cool 80s flick about a guy trying to get to the top.

One of my favourite Michael J. Fox's movies that is much funniest and romance.

great flick, i sometimes forget how good fox was with all these flicks in the 80's that didnt do well in revenue

Very good movie, funny as all get out.

Hasn't aged well, but Michael J. Fox is well on form in this corporate ladder lite film.

one of my fave michael j fox flicks from the 80's

A great film.

I love M.J.F!!!!

Such a cute movie!!!! Michael J. Fox is just sooooo adorable I think once I started watching Family Ties my obsession began lol! :) The story is brilliant and fun!

Along with Teen Wolf, this movie launched Michael J. Fox into movie stardom. Watching this movie know you realize this is typical Hollywood bubblegum, but I had many fond memories of this movie from my youth. It always made me want to be a business man in a tall building with my own office and secretary. I grew out of that of course. It's still fun to watch and has a lot of memorable scenes.

Classic 80s movie - Love this one! Watched it last night on On-Demand, and got my wife to watch it (she had never seen it before) - Awesome!

80?s movies. And did anyone involved in this ever have a real corporate job? Or is this actually how business worked in the 80?s? Now that I actually have a corporate type job, I think working back then kicks ass and I?d be a star. But this movie does have charm to this day. Unbelievable scenarios and morally sketchy, but fun, and sometime funny. Nothing I ever really reach for or sit around for everytime its on, but this time I did. And I loved Helen Slater as a kid. She was supergirl. And Michael J. Fox was great in all his roles. He picked well. I even liked him in Casualties of War. Never saw Bright Lights or Light of Day though. I need to see them. Joan Jett and Trent Reznor? C?mon!
