Invest your time in this payback comedy starring Whoopi Goldberg as a Wall Street financial analyst who starts her own company after her deserved promotion goes instead to her backstabbing colleague (Tim Daly). Remington Steele meets Tootsie when, to be taken seriously by the old boy network, she creates (and must later impersonate) a fictional male partner, Robert S. Cutty. Oscar-winner Dianne Wiest is her invaluable self as Laurel's steadfast and super-competent assistant. Recommended. (K. Lee Benson) [Blu-ray/DVD Review—July 24, 2018—Kino Lorber, 114 min., PG-13, DVD: $11.95, Blu-ray: $14.95—Making its latest appearance on DVD and debut on Blu-ray, 1996’s The Associate features a nice transfer with DTS-HD 5.1 and stereo audio, but no extras.
