Everything about Career Opportunities Film totally explained
Career Opportunities is an
American romantic comedy film that was released in
1991. The film starred
Frank Whaley and co-starred
Jennifer Connelly in one of her first lead film roles. It was written by
John Hughes and directed by
Bryan Gordon.
Plot summary
The film stars Whaley as Jim, a lazy slacker who is trying to get a well-paying job but instead ends up as a night janitor for
Target. On his first shift at his new job, Jim is locked, alone, in the store by his boss. Connelly is Josie, the stereotypical "spoiled rich girl". The main action of the film begins when Josie, in a half-hearted runaway attempt, hides in Jim's store after hours. Discovered by the lonely janitor, Josie and Jim identify each other as kindred spirits and proceed to enjoy the freedom of being locked together in the store overnight. But things become complicated when two incompetent crooks (played by
Dermot Mulroney and
Kieran Mulroney) break into the store and hold the two teenagers hostage until the tables are turned.
(Screenwriter John Hughes used the same "kids vs. crooks" theme in his earlier film
Home Alone.)

Alternate titles

Reception
Career Opportunities was a modest success at the time of its release, and (along with
Dennis Hopper's
The Hot Spot) is credited with making Connelly a teen idol (even though she was in her early 20s by this time).
