Does anyone know movies that are similar to this one, which have this unique 80s-atmosphere and the easy-money stories? :)
The only one I can think of right now is "Cocktail" with Tom Cruise.

Working Girl was a more serious version of this,I think.
Obviously it was a comedy,but it tried to make it seem believable,whereas this film just played it for laughs and slapstick,and is much more enjoyable for it IMO.
