"There's no such thing as an overnight success. Brantley Foster took two weeks."

The intelligent and educated Brantley Foster is a farmer's son who comes to New York for a quick career. Unfortunately, the applications don't go quite as he expected, but luckily he can start in the company of a wealthy family member.. In the mail room. Because Brantly doesn't feel like starting at the bottom of the ladder, he soon plays both a high-ranking manager and postman. It's a double role that he can barely keep up, especially when the boss's wife tries to seduce him.

Reasonable film about a young man who moves from the countryside to the big city to make it there. The characters and business are portrayed very simply here. But the story has plenty of entertaining developments. Furthermore, a nice eighties soundtrack and Michael J. Fox knows how to get the best out of his role.

The Secret of My Success is a wonderful film that, despite the fact that there are many things to criticize, it is simply wonderful to watch. Nice story with good structure and great for people who grew up in the eighties to see and hear it again. I'm not a big fan of M.j Fox but here he does it really nice!
