"Ma, will you quit worrying. There is no danger. New York is just like Kansas... intensified."
Review: This is the perfect Michael J. Fox vehicle as well as a classic movie that only could have been made in the 80s. A story of a young man coming to New York to make his fortune and has to use his wits to make it to the top and win the girl, the beautiful Helen Slater. It has a fun rock soundtrack with several well-done musical montages throughout.
"One question: What the hell are you doing?"
"Having a nervous breakdown."
"Brantley, why you lookin' so sad?"
"I don't know. I just thought it would work out better, you know?"
"The job or the girl?"
"The job. To hell with the girl."
"Yeah, you sound real convincing. Well, look at it this way, pal. For a few weeks, you sat up here in the lofty atmosphere of the big cheeses. You had a nice view of Manhattan and a clean lunch room to eat in. Hell, you did more in two months than most people do in a lifetime."
"Yeah, I'm gonna miss it."
"The job or the girl?"
4 1/2 out of 5 Stars
