The Worst Film Ever

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Of course, Jim Belushi is committing a major felony, while he was still supposed to be in jail. I couldn't laugh. I kept thinking of someone getting my cell and wallet, then robbing me before I knew it.

I was surprised to see such a low IMDb voter rating for this movie. Silly movies don't get much credit, but this one deserves a lot for making you laugh over and over again at some of the most ridiculous stuff, especially the antics of Jim Belushi, who was a scream in this. (I also think Jim Belushi is underrated, and many of his movies are great, though people seem to miss out on that fact.) Sure, it wasn't perfect, so I didn't give it a 10, but it was still something I can watch over and over again, and in my house, we all laugh repeatedly. Whoops! I can't forget Charles Grodin, who played his usual funny deadpan goof ball role.I love artsy, intellectual movies, tense, smart thrillers, and well-made, beautiful, meaningful films, but a good dose of silliness that I can watch over and over again, is just wonderful.Laughter is the best medicine, and this movie is cheaper than drugs and alcohol, and it makes you feel better fast.

Brilliant movie -especially good as a pick-me-up when you're feeling down. In the 'old days' this film was known as Filofax. Comes highly recommended and in my opinion is one of Belushi's best films. If you're a die hard Star Trek fan, then look out for some of the faces that appear these days in <Star Trek Voyager> and <Star Trek The Next Generation>. I've spotted three, though there could be more -BTW, one of them is really difficult to recognize, despite being one of the main characters -to help you -it's one of the women... ENJO

In "Taking Care of Business," James Belushi escapes from prison to see the Cubs in the World Series. He finds the datebook of overworked Charles Grodin and assumes Grodin's identity. The film is somewhat enjoyable, yet through it all I couldn't quite shake the feeling that I've seen all this before. There's not much that's original here. Grodin, saves the film. As always, he's a treat to watch. A big downside to the movie is that it has about 2 endings too many. But, it's not a complete loss, director Arthur Hiller has certainly done worse...he's also done much better.
