Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Uninspired piece of high-rise melodrama. O'Neill is the svelte daughter of a hard-hat steel construction boss (Kennedy) who steps into daddy's shoes when he falls to a tragic death. The jokes and the sexual sparring are predictable, sexist, and too lame to redeem themselves with even a minimum of irony. And the cracks at trade union safety regulations look particularly ugly when you think that one of the stuntmen on the crew really did fall to his death during shooting.
