Jimmy Dworski (James Belushi), 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! When these oddball opposites finally meet, it's a comedic collision you won't soon forget! (official distributor synopsis)

If I had watched this movie when I was ten years old when I admired Belushi with the German shepherd dog Jerry Lee and Grodin for a change with the St. Bernard Beethoven, I would probably have been excited. Today, the movie is still nice thanks to these actors, but it will not knock my socks off and I won’t be watching it on repeat on a VHS tape, as was the case with other movies.
