- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The Secret of My Success still leaves you with a good feeling about the idiocies of Big Business."
-
"The picture is stupid and often perfunctory; at the same time it's moderately enjoyable."
-
"Obviously, no new ground is being broken here, but director Ross keeps things humming in an endearingly old-fashioned way."
-
"A misfiring comic fantasia on business success in the Reagan era."
-
"A bedroom farce with a leaden touch, a corporate comedy without teeth."
