6/10 Nice filofax...

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!

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 … read the rest.
