For some reason, in 1990 they remade the terrible film The Couch Trip. Remember that movie we watched and didn't like starring Dan Aykroyd where he switched places with Charles Grodin and priest suits were involved? Well, they did it again just a few years later with Jim Belushi taking over Grodin's life and they called it Taking Care Of Business. We had high hopes for this one. I mean, the poster has Belushi riding atop an automobile so how could that be a bad movie? Turns out it's a big old turd of a movie. Belushi breaks out of prison, steals Grodin's Filofax and uses his identity to bone a lady and see the Cubs win the World Series. He does at one point pull a Mrs. Doubtfire to break back into prison (upsetting the evil warden played by, of course, Hector Elizondo) but that's not enough to save this movie where everything and anything will work out for our hero no matter how clueless he acts. Enjoy!
