The Boss' Wife (1986) Reviews

Member Rating:

Daniel Stern plays an up-and-coming stockbroker; Christopher Plummer is his boss; and Arielle Dombasle is the boss' wife. As a sort of litmus test for future executives, Plummer invites Stern and coworker Martin Mull for a weekend in the country. The sexy Dombasle takes a liking to Stern, who wonders if cohabiting with the boss' wife will improve his chances at promotion. This is but one element of writer/director Ziggy Steinberg's Felliniesque script, which throws in all sort of eccentrics and bizarre situations to pad out what is essentially a one-joke situation. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Watch this Movie!! It has unfortunately been overlooked in being released on DVD. This movie has both sublte and over-the-top comedy and is an underappreciated gem. From the 'butter' to 'smoky' to his 'special friend' Carlos, this has more memorable scenes and dialogue than 90% of all movies made in the past quarter century since it's release. PLEASE get this out as a 25th Anniversary DVD! If not, well, you can just "Kiss my johnson"!
