Meeting the Boss

A notoriously difficult and demanding boss, played by Don Adams, is convinced by his wife to take a vacation and let his young, idealistic protégé, Victoria Principal, run the company. She tries to implement humane changes but faces resistance from the old guard and Adams's own meddling from afar. The film explores themes of corporate culture, idealism versus pragmatism, and the challenges of leadership.

Meeting the Boss received mixed reviews upon its release. Critics noted Don Adams's comedic performance but found the plot predictable and the satire somewhat superficial. Audiences were divided, with some appreciating the lighthearted comedy while others found it lacking in depth.

• Praised for Don Adams's performance in a departure from his typical roles.

• Criticized for a formulaic plot and predictable comedic beats.

• Seen as a light, albeit unremarkable, attempt at workplace comedy.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce due to the film's age and limited release. Those available suggest a generally mild reception, with viewers finding it an amusing diversion but not a particularly memorable film.

This film marked one of Don Adams's few ventures into feature film acting outside of his iconic role as Maxwell Smart.
