Editorial Reviews

James Belushi (K-9) is Jimmy Dworski, a happy-go-lucky convict who breaks out of prison and finally gets a life ... somebody else's! When Dworski finds the daily planner book that literally runs the life of ultra-organized executive Spencer Barnes (Charles Grodin, MIDNIGHT RUN), all hell breaks loose! With newfound cash, credit cards, and the keys to a Malibu mansion, the imposter Dworski embarks on an all-expense-paid trip to "Easy Street" while posing as the high-powered Barnes. Meanwhile, Spencer's life is turned upside down as he hunts through the jungles of Los Angeles for his beloved book! When these oddball opposites finally meet, it's a comedic collision you won't soon forget!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amusing, worth a look. October 9, 1999
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
An amusing farce with Jim Belushi in a role that highlights his ample comic abilities. An all-around enjoyable movie, definitely worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for the movie, three for the DVD - January 9, 2003
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
Just the facts - from the back cover: Jimmy Dworski (James Belushi) is a happy-go-lucky convict who breaks out of prison and finally gets a life . . . somebody else's! When Dworski finds the daily planner book that literally runs the life of ultra-organized executive Spencer Barnes (Charles Grodin), all hell breaks loose. With newfound cash, credit cards and the keys to a Malibu mansion, the imposter Dworski embarks on an all-expense-paid trip to "Easy Street" while posing as the high-powered Barnes. Meanwhile, Spencer's life is turned upside down as he hunts through the jungles of Los Angeles for his beloved book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, poor DVD July 5, 2002
Format:DVD
I totally agree with some of the reviewers. This movie is great story-wise and acting-wise, but as a DVD, it is poor.
First of all, WHY ARE THERE STILL FULL SCREEN DVDs?
Is it for those TV morons?
When you go to the theater, you see it in WIDESCREEN!!!
Why not put BOTH versions on a DVD so everybody will be pleased.
I bought 'Roxanne' and 'Taking Care Of Business' together.
Roxanne offers full & widescreen formats for the same price.
I know that this is a 'budget' DVD, but I think that DISNEY is rather cheap on this one. No extra or choice of language whatsoever.
Like I said, Great movie but very disappointing DVD, even though it's still much better than VHS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun to see characters
This is a prison-break/trading places romp of mistaken identity through Beverly Hills. Mostly funny and visually entertaining. As usual, Jim Belushi shines.

A desperate, lame, unimaginative, fish-out-of-water farce that consistently goes for cheap laughs and cheap titillation. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars The Title "TRADING PLACES" Was Already Taken
James Belushi will likely always live in the shadow of his older brother. Funny thing though, James is the better actor (as opposed to being an outsized comic legend). Read more
