Dream Job submitted by SarahRose on February 22, 2010, 7:30pm If I had Bunny Watson's job and I thought I was going to be replaced by a computer I'd be worried too. She gets to come in late, go dress shopping instead of coming in, drink champagne at work, her coworkers are all dreamy men or supportive girlfriends, and she is absolutely suited to her duties. Maybe it's just that I'd love to be Katharine Hepburn no matter what my job was, but this movie makes me ache with jealousy. I love it.

I love this movie. submitted by lisa on July 23, 2018, 12:11pm The best scene's on the rooftop at lunch.

When I was young, films like this and The Apartment and others suggested work would be drunken parties at holiday time, if I managed to get a job when I grew up. I'm glad that part's gone, but it makes for good film switch-it-up times.
