Caryn James, New York Times: Taking Care of Business plays it safe and boring. Read more

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: 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. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Lamely synthetic. Read more

Rita Kempley, Washington Post: This one is as predictable as sunrise and as stale as bedpost gum. Read more
