secret of my success

i enjoy a good 80's movie as much as the next guy, especially if its got michael j fox in it!  this one though, missed the mark.  the movie starts with fox leaving his provincial midwestern home to try and make it big in new york city.  he doesnt find anything because you have to have experience before anyone will hire you, but no one will hire you to give you that experience.  well, he calls in a family favor and gets a job in the mail room of a big business.  he happens across and empty office higher up in the building and starts to do the job of the guy who just got fired.  as he tries to maintain these two different jobs, he (of course) falls for a girl that he works with as a big shot.  can he manage the two jobs?  will he get the girl?  oh, how exciting!
its all well and good, a typical 80's movie and all that, but once it was all done i got to thinking...  the whole movie we are rooting for fox as he tries to trick his coworkers and the girl, but the more i thought about it the more i realized this unexpected twist:  michael j. fox is the bad guy in the movie!  they dont let on at all, in fact there would be no indication from the film itself, but the more i thought about it i realized that everything he did at the company involved him lying, cheating, blaming others, sleeping with a married woman, double crossing the only person in new york who was willing to give him a break, and eventually causing a negative hostile corporate takeover!  i dont know what to think, should i be outraged at how terrible of a guy this is, or should i be impressed that they fooled the audience in to siding with this scummy guy?
