À propos de ce film

The town con and the town beauty team up to outwit a half-wit pair of would-be burglars in this hilarious comedy from John Hughes. Frank Whaley stars as Jim Dodge, a smooth-talking small-town guy with a knack for putting up a front -but no talent for holding down a job. But Jim's life suddenly takes a turn for the fantastic when he finds himself locked inside the local department store one night with Josie McClellan (Jennifer Connelly), the daughter of the town's wealthiest citizen. And when this unlikely pair is treated to a surprise visit from two bargain-hunting burglars (Dermot Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney), the laughs keep escalating in this delightfully entertaining look at small-town America.

Notes et avis

Frank Whaley navigating the smoldering hotness of an 80s Jennifer Connelly, in an otherwise cute and clever movie. Don't expect the angst and emotional depth of The Breakfast Club, but this movie still carries the Hughes-ian themes of the decade; languid, listless young adults, making their way through life, trying to come to terms with what lies ahead.

Career Opportunities is another good movie made by John Hughes the same man who directed the popular classic film, The Breakfast Club. Frank Whaley is a stylist and characteristic person the way he does in and out the screens. For me, I'm a aspiring and professional person gifted with a lot of skills and talents. As well seeing Jennifer Connelly looking so beautiful, fine, and sexy the way she was young in the film back then. It's cool to know they film Career Opportunities in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

This was a Great John Hughes film released in 1990 in Europe & Asia then finally in America in 1991..The movie was brilliantly written.A nice comedy Film with still that 1980's feel to it. Frank Whaley really did a great job and is such a under-rated actor who is splended in this movie.John Hughes captures the magic with great music,great film location & nice funny store. 2 Thumbs up!
