Light comedy about taxes

My review was written in May 1990 after watching the movie on Prism video cassette.

This old-fashioned topical comedy has a familiar target: income taxes. Some laughs and okay twists make it an adequate video offering.

Fritz Bronner is personable as the nebbish from Cleveland who buys Arte Johnson's fifth-rate L. A. tax office and relocates to the City of Angels with his nagging mother.

Typical comic twist is a mixup: when tycoon James Hong brings in his company books, Bronner inadvertently winds up with Hong's real books, documenting a vast cocaine empire.

Before degenerating into silly chases, pic is on-target with its satiric jabs at both lotus land and accounting. Bronner and leading lady Jana Grant are refreshing ingenues while Hong and his henchman, former wrestler Prof. Toru Tanaka, get the laughs.
