Warning: there is colourful effects/rainbow community element/medical

I am going to the ball game, I just have to get out of here first: briefly; Jimmy Dworski/other characters [James/Jim Belushi:] is currently a convict prison that has won the once-in-a-lifetime tickets to see if his beloved Chicago can win the big one in the final of the World Series of baseball, but that would require having an early release of some days, I mean he even asked the Warden Frank Toolman [Héctor Elizondo:] he is a warden is very strict and he rules this prison with an iron fist. Meanwhile we have Spencer Barnes/other characters [Charles Grodin:] he is a very regimental character that works for Bentley Advertising, but one thing is for certain for the next couple of days it is going to be a rough ride for him.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, character developments framework and pacing; the storyline/script and character developments is broadly speaking is one of those types of trading places and situations; where Dworski gets to experience the high life, whilst Barnes gets to experience the standard of let's just go with it difficult and relentless standard of life; the framework and pacing of this 108 minutes film as we have this kind of back and forth thing going on, for some strange reason it does take some time to find itself, don't get me wrong after this is all good and it works really well, but before this things feel really slow and dry; it is a good thing that eventually its find its groove.

Action and comedy; a game of double tennis doesn't exactly go according to plan, when one player holds a tennis racket like a baseball bat, whilst another character in desperation to return the ball runs into the back of the court and then sometime later at this dinner meeting; they have this very frank discussion about these products and admire a chest and finally a little later on we have this showdown between Dworski vs. Spencer; but let's be honest it goes away you expected it going; but it is all very good fun really.

Character developments and performances; as I referenced earlier we have a trading places outlying going on, with other surrounding good character types of what they are meant to be, with good chemistry throughout the cast; but between Belushi and/or Grodin they lead the cast excellently and on reflection based on that I am going to award this film another mark

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; this film is good fun, yes it does take this film sometime to warm up, but it is harmless good fun and there is an ongoing sequence underneath the closing credits
