The Associate plot
"Behind every great man is a woman... Wishing he'd get the hell out of her way."
Laurel Ayres is an ambitious woman who wants to be successful on Wall Street, but is not taken seriously because she is a woman. So she decides to start a company with the fictional partner by the name of Robert Cutty to give the impression that there is a male director after all. However, the employees are suspicious when they never see Cutty appear.

A somewhat laborious comedy, which has to rely more on the acting performances than on the quality of the story. But Whoopi Goldberg, the old Eli Wallach and especially Dianne Wiest make the whole thing somewhat bearable with their fine acting.

pretty weak undertone in this (otherwise entertaining) film.
as if we should take seriously that in the business world all men conspire to exclude good business women.
This weak feminist undertone spoils the film a bit, because otherwise it is quite nice and entertaining.

Decent film about a woman on Wall Street starting a company with a partner she made up. Clichéd characters and it all goes on a bit too long. And while the premise could have yielded a few more jokes, the film's progression is entertaining enough for a narrow 3.0 stars.
