Maid to Order

Common card · No. 237015

Maid to Order is a 1987 American comedy film with fantasy film elements, co-written and directed by Amy Holden Jones. The movie stars Ally Sheedy as spoiled rich kid Jessie, who is made penniless when her fairy godmother casts a spell to erase her existence, forcing her to become a white live-in housekeeper for a new money, somewhat washed-up executive's family in the music industry, in a reversal of the Cinderella formula. Through the course of the film, Sheedy's character learns many lessons, such as the value of hard work (including when she is finally able to buy a Sony Walkman tape cassette player to listen to music while she scrubs bathrooms), and the value of friendship (such as when she enables a washed-up but very talented black former singer, who also is a housekeeper where she works, to have a chance to "still shine" and perform on stage at the exec's concert when the original act falls through due to some actions on the part of her fairy godmother).
