Great 80's style comedy

Warning: Spoilers
Taking Care Of Business is a fun comedy that riffs heavily off of Trading Places. James Belushi and Charles Grodin team up for some hilarious entertainment. James Belushi wins a ticket to The World Series and asks the warden to get out a day early. The warden refuses and James Belushi breaks out of prison while his homies from inside pretend they are holding him hostage. Charles Grodin is Spencer Barnes, an overworked advertisement executive who loses his fileofax and is late to all of his engagements.. He ends up getting mugged and his only help is a woman who had a crush on him since high school and it's clear Spencer never reciprocated this interest. Meanwhile, James Belushi finds his fileofax and goes to his mansion and tries to return it. When he realizes nobody is home, he decides to stay a while and gets mistaken for Spencer Barnes and ends up going to his business meetings. Taking Care Of Business is hilarious and is still very funny many years later. A great watch!
