Taking Care of Business (1990)

Very soon to be released convict Jim Belushi escapes from jail in order to see the Cubs play in the World Series. On the way, he stumbles across uptight executive Charles Grodin’s filofax and for reasons unknown, takes over the latter’s life. I watched this because of the Cubs connection but there’s sadly barely any baseball shown in the film. Instead, it’s all about Belushi’s hijinks as he ruins Grodin’s life. For some reason, everyone in the film seems to treat Belushi as an attractive, lovable scamp, but there’s no actual evidence shown supporting this. It’s somehow billed as a comedy yet is almost completely unfunny.
