    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 ...

    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
