This confluence of dumb ideas emanating from one person was supposed to be a good movie. I think people only watched it because Michael J. Fox was in it. I know that was my reason.
Much like Clark Kent, Brantley Foster (MJ Fox) leaves Kansas for N. Y. to work. Brantley wants to be a successful businessman. He gets hired in the mail room by his uncle Howard Prescott (Richard Jordan). Somewhere along the line Brantley ends up having sex with his uncle's wife, pretends to be an exec in the company named Whitfield which gives him access to having sex with the CFO, and all of this led to this Amos and Andrew type scenario where he played two roles and tried to stay a step ahead of being figured out.
The whole premise was silly and exhausting. This movie never got off the ground. Sex was the pervasive theme and they threw in a little corporate jargon for credibility. They were a couple of boobs and cuss words short of making it rated R.
Going back to the Superman parallel, Brantley ends up saving the day.
The company he worked for was leaking oil and on its way to being taken over unless they could come up with a savvy way of saving it. Naturally, it ended with Brantley saving the company and getting the girl--as if there was a doubt. All's well that ends well in the world of lying, cheating, and sleeping around.
