The Hard Way

For Love or Money
Douglas Ireland is in one heck of a bind. Michael J. Fox (TV's Spin City) and Gabrielle Anwar (Scent of a Woman) star in this sparkling romantic comedy from the director of Men in Black and the producer of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
While he caters to the whims of the super-rich, Ireland (Fox) dreams of building his own luxury hotel and hopes that a wealthy but unscrupulous investor will help. there's one condition: Ireland must "baby-sit" the investor's beautiful young mistress (Anwar). But soon, he must decide whether the love of his life is worth more than the dream of his life. In the grand tradition of classic comedies, this sophisticated and witty film puts a delightful new spin on love, laughter and romance. Also starring Anthony Higgins, Fyvush Finkel, and Bob Balaban.
Greedy
Meet the McTeagues. They've come to stake a claim in their wealthy uncle's will...only he's not dead yet! Michael J. Fox, Kirk Douglas and Nancy Travis star in this wickedly funny comedy of heirs.

The Secret of My Success
Can a kid from Kansas come to New York to conquer the business world and maneuver his way from the mailroom to the boardroom in a matter of weeks? Michael J. Fox proves it can be done in this very funny lampoon of corporate business life. Fresh out of college, he's determined to climb New York's corporate ladder in record time by masquerading as an up-and-coming executive, even though he's really the new mail boy. However, Fox's plans begin to go awry when the boss's wife falls in love with him and he falls in love with a junior executive, who also happens to be the boss's mistress. Also starring Helen Slater, Richard Jordan, Margaret Whitton, and John Pankow.
