Similar Films

One film which has a similar storyline to ours is The Secret of My Success (1987).

This is a film starring Michael J. Fox as a graduate of a university, who finds a job working in the mailroom of a company. He discovers that the company's employees are making bad decisions and finds a empty office in the building and assumes the identity of a new executive working for the company and making it successful.

The storyline is similar to our film as the main character assumes the role of someone else (in our film it's his brother) and how the main character gets into many impossible situations.

Here is a trailer of the film;



Another film which I see as similar is Richie Rich (1994).

This is a film starring Macaulay Culkin as the richest kid in the whole world, as he is the son of $70 billion tycoon. All the kid has grown up with is money and he hasn't been able to find friendship, until he encounters a group of kids playing baseball which he invites them to his home in a way to bond with them.
However, the greedy CFO of his father's company intends to take the family riches for himself, and goes to his home to steal the riches from his father's vault.

The storyline is similar to our film and it has many similar elements, most notably the money (although not the same scale) and how at the end of the film there's a morale to it. Richie figures out friends are important and in our film Jim discovers that he will work hard to be happy.
