Impressed by her no-nonsense style as she sells sandwiches outside his offices, fashion executive Max impulsively offers teenager True Jackson a dream job as vice president in charge of his youth apparel line. At first startled by the harsh office politics she encounters -- particularly with bitter and resentful older colleague Amanda -- True gets a handle on things once she realizes corporate life is no worse than swimming with the sharks in high school.

David Hinckley New York Daily News 02/13/2020
