Review of Taking Care of Business (1990) by Owen Gleiberman for Entertainment Weekly — 11 Nov 2004
The plot is déjà vu all over again, another variation on the proletarian-joker-goes-yuppie formula used in Trading Places, The Secret of My Success, and Opportunity Knocks. In Taking Care of Business, the formula gets boiled down to its bare bones.
The movie is nothing but a series of executive signifiers — it should have been called The Trappings of My Success.
