Movie Reviews

Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Jay BoyarUnexpectedly likeable, thanks to the high-spirited performances of stars James Belushi and Charles Grodin, under the relaxed direction by Arthur Hiller.
Classic Film and Television - 7/10 by Michael E. GrostFun comedy with satire and a pleasant performance by John de Lancie.
Boston Globe - 6/10 by Matthew GilbertThis 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—above all, costars Jim Belushi and Charles Grodin, and newcomer Loryn Locklin—that they almost bring it off in spite of itself.
Tampa Bay Times - 6/10 by Hal LipperBanal performances -- Jim is still not John and Grodin is playing a second-rate variation of the uptight guy in Midnight Express -- combine with derivative plot to tell us that yuppies are too grasping for their own good.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 4/10 by Rick GroenThrough crass over-emphasis and sloppy continuity errors, Hiller fumbles most of the jokes away. The roles fit Belushi/Grodin like rubber, but the rest is second-rate.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Michael WilmingtonTaking Care of Business is a curious achievement: a laughless comedy starring Belushi and Grodin, two actors who are almost always funny.
Variety - 4/10 by Variety StaffBrash 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.
Entertainment Weekly - 3/10 by Owen GleibermanThe plot is déjà vu all over again, another variation on the proletarian-joker-goes-yuppie formula used in Trading Places, The Secret of My Success, and Opportunity Knocks. In Taking Care of Business, the formula gets boiled down to its bare bones. The movie is nothing but a series of executive signifiers — it should have been called The Trappings of My Success.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Caryn JamesThis is the old, old trading places gag, and while a good idea can always be reinvented, invention is precisely what Taking Care of Business lacks.
Washington Post - 2/10 by Joe BrownIt's also unexpectedly likeable, thanks to the high-spirited performances of stars James Belushi and Charles Grodin, under the relaxed direction by Arthur Hiller.
