After a night of partying lands the spoiled heiress Jessica (Ally Sheedy) in jail, her millionaire father wishes he had never had a daughter, and he just happens to be overheard by genuine fairy godmother Stella (Beverly D'Angelo), who makes it so. Now, without Daddy's name or money, Jessica is forced to get a job as a maid in one of the mansions where she used to live. It's not all bad, though -- she soon has the hunky chauffeur Nick (Michael Ontkean) to keep her company.

It's simply so cute, it's hard to resist and the supporting cast -- especially D'Angelo and Shawn -- bring it all to wonderful life. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 4 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 20 Funny in 1 hour and 32 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $8,200,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more JANET C May 10 I can understand going into this movie with a certain frame of mind in today’s climate. But it’s a wonderfully cute fantasy. It’s wonderful to see certain actors in different roles, and this was another random example. I’ve always enjoyed singing along to the soundtrack. It’s pretty fun. And it’s really about the great editing and the overall absurdity of the concept, that somehow executes! See more 07/06/2019 I love this movie! It brings me right back to the amazing 80's and has tons of 80's fashion eye-candy! Lots of fun to watch, Ally Sheedy is cute and endearing, even while being a complete spoiled brat. Beverly D'Angelo is always awesome and the Starkey couple steal the show! Has some laugh out loud moments even if its laughing at Ally's almost-mullet or her corny double chin shelf during the piano scene at the Starkey's home. Everyone down to the employment agency lady plays their part well. Everyone is funny. An awesome appearance by Doctor and the Medics playing Spirit in the Sky really puts you in the 80's. Love Love Love this movie! Could watch it again and again. If you love pure classic unadulterated 80's gold, then this is the perfect movie for you to watch! Sit back and enjoy- it's not going to change your life but its a ton of fun. :) Favorite Quotes? " There's nothing to talk about. I did not spend six years in junior college to be a maid." " Jessie, what is the matter with you?! I don't like Charades and certainly not with the help!" See more 02/17/2019 Great 80's classic movie with a awesome sound track. Beverly D'Angelo was a great fairy good mother. Merry Clayton has a great voice. Typical unappreciative rich girl having to learn the hard way how to appreciate what she has. Great life lesson. Must watch. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 05/18/2017 Maid to Order is a disappointing film. It is about a snobbish little rich girl is magically transformed into a penniless nobody after the results of a poorly considered wish. Ally Sheedy and Beverly D'Angelo give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Amy Holden Jones did a horrible job directing this motion picture. I was not impressed with this motion picture. See more Read all reviews
