The Boss' Wife offers enough unique elements to make it a must-see for fans of 80s comedies

I recently watched The Boss' Wife (1986) on Tubi. The storyline follows an aspiring man trying to climb the ranks within his organization. His successful business pitch sets him on the right track, but the boss's right-hand man, viewing him as competition, does everything possible to thwart his progress. Complicating matters further is the boss's wife, who is eager to commit adultery.

Directed by Ziggy Steinberg in his only directorial project, the film stars Daniel Stern (Home Alone), Arielle Dombasle (Tess), Christopher Plummer (The Insider), Fisher Stevens (Short Circuit), and Melanie Mayron (Clockstopper).

This movie is a delightful addition to the comedy genre. The storyline is entertaining and well setup with the outstanding opening cigarette room sequence and initial boardroom presentation. The cast is well-chosen, and each actor fits their character perfectly. Arielle Dombasle's is gorgeous. The comedic content may have its hits and misses, it is unpredictable and worthwhile. The storyline is a rollercoaster, and the ending is absolutely wild.

In conclusion, The Boss' Wife offers enough unique elements to make it a must-see for fans of 80s comedies. I would rate this a 6/10 and recommend watching it once.
