Critics Sentiment
Tess proves ownership of idea to Trask board
Katharine comes back and crashes the merger meeting
The film swings from its lowest point when Katharine exposes Tess at the merger meeting to its highest when Tess triumphantly proves her idea's ownership.
Working Girl maintains steady positive sentiment throughout, building from Tess's workplace struggles to peak satisfaction during her climactic vindication. The film's charm lies in its classic underdog story structure, with reviewers consistently praising the performances and 80s period details. While some found certain plot elements predictable, the overall execution and character development earned widespread approval.
