Slow-moving comedy that fails to get much mileage from its tired central idea.
When this originally came out in the UK it was known as Filofax. For whatever reason, the DVD incarnation has been released with the name it was known as in the USA. Same great film though. Good fun, you can't help but like it.
I remember hiring this from Blockbusters Video store way way back. When I hired this it was called 'Filofax' but I take it it was given it's other title as our colonial cousins didn't know what a filofax was!
This is one of those films you never see on TV, and never hear of again, which is a shame as I think it is a great film, albeit a definate 80's one.
James Belushi plays to character and as always you end up rooting for him. You just know it's all going to work out in the end but this is a perfect film to watch on a wet, miserable Sunday afternoon.
