Movie synopsis

Brantley Foster (Michael J. Fox) may come from a small Kansas farm, but he believes he's a New York success story waiting to happen. So certain is Brantley about his destiny that he's packed his bags and headed for the Big Apple, vowing not to return until he's realized the American dream of financial prosperity and romantic fulfillment. Once he's settled in the city, Brantley confronts the adversities of a small pest-ridden apartment, a thankless mailroom job, and pervasive street crime. Working in the mailroom of a powerful corporation, he develops a scheme to fulfill his dreams. All it takes is an abandoned corporate office and a change of clothes for Brantley Foster to become Carlton Whitfield, a new high-powered executive with radical ideas and a charming way with the ladies, including Christy Wills (Helen Slater), the boss's mistress. This delightful comedy keeps Brantley on his toes as as he struggles to keep his new girlfriend, his pals in the mailroom, his boss, and the boss's lustful wife from learning the truth as he fights to fulfill his dreams.

Foster makes the leap from zero to hero in two weeks...

Created: 21/03/08
A 25 year-old Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future & Teen Wolf) plays Brantley Foster who moonlights as Carlton Whitfield in the romantic comedy filled with innuendos--"The Secret of My Succe$s."

Foster (Fox) leaves the confines of his home state Kansas in order to follow his dream of making it big in New York City. However, due to a number of fortuitous events, Foster ends up having to take a job in the mail room of his uncle Howard Prescott.

In the spirit of Hollywood, Foster makes the leap from zero to hero in two weeks wherein he usurps his uncle, gets his girl (executive Christy Wills played by Helen Slater who was cast as Supergirl. Kansas? Supergirl? you make the connection), and lives the American dream.

The Secret of My Success (DVD)

Created: 10/06/08
I bought this DVD movie a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. It is actually one of my favorite old movies that I enjoy watching daily. Since the movie is based upon suceeding in success throughout a professional career, it inspires me to do the same in life and to never give up my future dreams in life. The movie is not only an inspiration in success, but it tends to highlights a comedy as well as finding someone you actually love while trying to succeed in a great career, too. Therefore, you are trying to succeed not only in a great career, but in a fabulous love life with someone you truly love, too. This movie is fabulous!
