The life of Jimmy Dworski, a young smart thief, who after winning free cards to attend baseball game show, flees from prison, has been turned upside down, when he finds the lost Filofax of a wealthy man, he takes his identity, the thing that brings terrible for him.
Brash Belushi and befuddled Grodin are perfect casting for yarn about a likable escaped con who assumes the identity of a stuffy, overworked ad agency exec.
It's also unexpectedly likeable, thanks to the high-spirited performances of stars James Belushi and Charles Grodin, under the relaxed direction by Arthur Hiller.
This is a pretty stupid comedy in spots, with holes wide enough to drive trucks through, and director Arthur Hiller is as clunky as ever, but the cast is so funny and likable that they almost bring it off in spite of itself.
