Head Office (1985)
6/10
Rick Moranis's Sons are so lucky they get him all to themselves
12 November 2016
John Issel (Judge Reinhold) gets handballed a cushy job straight out of business school, and gets all up on his moral high ground in a frankly preposterous company. There is a love interest and a bunch of characters (EVEN DON KING) and some banging 80s music. Also there is a bizarre interest in ball bearings, a curious theme that spreads through a number of money films I've noticed.

Rick Moranis and Danny DeVito are DEAD funny in Head Office. The neighbours heard me laughing.

Man Rick Moranis is funny as hell in this, Space Balls funny. And considering there is no more Rick Moranis going around now you might want to get on this one.

***Spoiler Alert***

However both Moranis and Devito die in the first 15 minutes of the film, literally killed off, and it's mostly awful after this (mostly). I mean you can keep watching, but instead just watch walking dead or a MASH rerun or something. Did HBO just offer them some lovely contract, you know; be stars, act like crazy, get paid, we can just fumble through finishing the rest of this film while you go back to making real films?
