Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray releases of Arthur Hiller's
Taking Care of Business (1990) and James Orr's
Mr. Destiny (1990). The two releases will be available for purchase in July.
Taking Care of Business
Synopsis: James Belushi (Mr. Destiny) 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, The Couch Trip), 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.
Arthur Hiller (The In-Laws, The Hospital) directed this screwball comedy written by Jill Mazursky (Gone Fishin') and J.J. Abrams (Super 8) and featuring Loryn Locklin (Fortress), Hector Elizondo (Young Doctors in Love), Veronica Hamel (Cannonball!) and Mako (An Eye for an Eye).
Special Features:

Mr. Destiny
Synopsis: Imagine if one day, out of the blue, your wildest dreams came true. That's exactly what happens to junior executive Larry Burrows (James Belushi, Taking Care of Business) when he bumps into a mysterious stranger (Michael Caine, The Whistle Blower). Instantly, Larry's ho-hum life becomes his ultimate fantasy – huge mansion, beautiful wife, cars galore. But before long, his new lifestyle isn't so enchanting. Ultimately, Larry discovers it's going to take a lot more than wishful thinking to get back to where he once belonged. Mr. Destiny is a delightful old-fashioned rags-to-riches comedy brimming with totally magical entertainment.
James Orr (3 Men and a Baby) co-wrote, produced and directed this romantic comedy-fantasy, featuring Linda Hamilton (The Terminator, Terminator 2), Jon Lovitz (Happiness), Hart Bochner (Die Hard), Rene Russo (Big Trouble) and Courtney Cox (TV's Friends).
