      Nick D Whoopi is great in this movie. A fun take on finance industry with laughs throughout. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Porter Funny, engaging, and clever! You really can't go wrong with Whoopi. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Drew K One of my favorites. Always puts a smile on my face. Super campy and fun. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Audience Member POWERFUL MESSAGE I got while watching this movie: Woman of color who opens up her own firm while pretending to have a white male partner "Mr.Cutty" helping her succeed in signing deals with wealthy clients and helping her firm grow financially. Sad to think we are still living in a world where the white male holds all power in powerful and wealthy businesses and corporations and woman are still being discriminated against money and gender wise. Must watch if you are a true feminist! Power to the Black woman! Yess ma'am! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Look! Forget the costume for a second and consider what this movie is actually about: how opinions are more valuable (and less likely to be sidelined) if they are male...particularly white male. I mean we still have these issues in 2021. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not Whoopi's best comedy out there, but she's having fun on screen and she's fun to watch as she tries to wriggle her way into White Male Wall Street life by creating a persona who is exactly that, and finds herself wanting him dead pretty fast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
