Her unbelievable performance is surrounded by a contrived and silly script that goes no where with what could have been a very clever plot. This movie could have been really good. Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver were as incredible as ever in their roles of the successful members of New York's class, and the idea of a woman who takes over her boss' office in order to prove to the world her worth is good, but this movie just couldn't go anywhere with it. In an attempt at some cheap laughs, the storyline moves through a series of events that makes the viewer laugh at it more than with it, and it takes the viewer to a cheesy ending that resembles hundreds of similar endings before it and has no substance.

Dixie College students are Working Girl did have some great moments, and it begs to be a hit, but the script and the casting of Griffiths in the lead role take away any chance this movie may have had at success.
