Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Taking Care of Business plays it safe and boring.

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

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.

Lamely synthetic.

rotten:
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.
