Fun comedy with satire and a pleasant performance by John de Lancie.

A series lame jokes and clunky plot machinations that would strike as cynical were they not so obviously desperate.

Brash Belushi and befuddled Grodin are perfect casting for yarn about a likable escaped con who assumes the identity of a stuffy, overworked ad agency exec.

It's also unexpectedly likeable, thanks to the high-spirited performances of stars James Belushi and Charles Grodin, under the relaxed direction by Arthur Hiller.

Taking Care of Business plays it safe and boring.

Lamely synthetic.

This one is as predictable as sunrise and as stale as bedpost gum.

The roles fit Belushi/Grodin like rubber, but the rest is second-rate.

Typically bland, light-on-laughs mix-up farce

This is a pretty stupid comedy in spots, with holes wide enough to drive trucks through, and director Arthur Hiller is as clunky as ever, but the cast is so funny and likable that they almost bring it off in spite of itself.

Oh, what a couple of seasoned stars can do with a formula.
