Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Adam-Sternglass 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.
Predrag "Taking Care of Business" is a fairly routine fish-out-of-water comedy, but it does feature some good performances (by Charles Grodin, doing that uptight Charles Grodin thing) and Belushi (doing his streetwise, wiseacre Jim Belushi thing), as well as some nice turns by supporting players Veronica Hamel, Anne DeSalvo, Hector Elizondo and the rather fetching--Loryn Locklin. But the film does belong to Belushi. He carries his good-natured car thief role off with aplomb.James Belushi and Charles Gordin delivers excellent comic performances. Sharply written by Jill Mazursky & Jeffery Abrams. Directed by Arthur Miller (Outrageous Foutune). Watch for actor: Ken Foree (George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead) as a convict and Look also for Actors: John De Lancie & Gates McFadden from Star Trek: The Next Generation. An fast paced entertaining comedy. If you're looking for a good laugh, Belushi hits the mark in this movie! Overall rating: 8 out of 10.
mjp.carino-2 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
critic2-2 Everybody would like to have Jim Belushi as a friend or brother. He truly seems to have fun in everything he does, it shows in this movie. I won't tell you the story but it is almost like some of the screwball comedies of the 1930's. The entire cast does a excellent job. Loryn Locklin as Jewel is a pleasure for anyone to see at the pool. And who has not seen an old classmate like Debbie, played to the hilt by Anne DeSalvo was really funny and sad at the same time.Rent it you will enjoy yourself.
