6/10 Nice filofax... ......said no one ever in 2018! A nostalgic trip to a wierd past. I liked it for a 90's movie, and it is cute, but not very funny. But a feel-gooder and everyone is nice and happy, but somehow brain-dead - like it is supposed to be! But I was surprised how sexist and racist it was in comedy movies from the 90's! Not something I had ever questioned before. Like this fun reviewer noticed: > One of the really great qualities of this movie was just how racist, anti-semitic, and sterotypical it was. Did Spencer get lost in a bad neighborhood and ask for directions, only to get mugged? Yup. Was their a talkative, annoying, single Jewish woman? You betcha. Was the President of the company Japanese, leading to lots of references to their culture like being on time, bowing, respect, and politeness? You know it.

Originally released as Filofax it took me a while to find this movie with it's rerelease name of Taking Care of Business. Well worth the search though. One of James (Jim) Belushi's best films along with The Principal. I remember watching the TimeCode VHS (I worked in a video rental shop) about 2 months before it was released on VHS. Still a brilliant movie & even my 14 year old son enjoyed it so stands the test of time well If you like a bit of light hearted comedy with a great actors then I definitely recomend this movie
