But when Jimmy wins a pair of tickets to the World Series from a radio call-in show, he can't resist walking out of jail, particularly when the warden won't even let the inmates watch the series on television. Grodin plays rich workaholic Spencer Barnes, who, when his wife walks out on him right before a long-planned vacation, leaves his datebook in an airport telephone booth. Happening upon Spencer's datebook is Jimmy, who simply intends to return the datebook to Spencer for a 1,000-dollar reward. But when he finds the datebook contains his credit cards, Jimmy assumes Spencer's identity, living the good life and dating the boss's daughter, while making his way to Malibu to return the property to Spencer.

Seller's Description:
James Belushi, Michael Caine, Shelley Long. Run time: 5 hours 14 minutes. 2 discs. Language: English. Factory Sealed Brand New 2 Disc DVD Mr. Destiny-Would you give up everything you have for everything you've ever wanted? That's exactly what junior executive Larry Burrows (James Belushi-New Year's Eve, Hoodwinked) does when he encounters a mysterious stranger named "Mr. Destiny" (Academy AwardŽ winner Michael Caine). Instantly, Larry's ordinary life is transformed into his ultimate fantasy-a huge mansion, a beautiful wife, exotic cars galore! But before long, he discovers that the good life isn't all it's cracked up to be, and goes to outrageous extremes to retrieve the life he left behind. MR. DESTINY is a delightful rags-to-riches comedy brimming with magical entertainment! Hello Again-Lucy Chadman (Shelley Long of Outrageous Fortune and TV's Cheers) comes to an untimely end while nibbling on an Oriental chicken ball-but says HELLO AGAIN when her wacky, mystical sister Zelda (Judith Ivey-Flags of our Fathers) brings her back from the great beyond. Only one year has passed but oh, how things have changed! Lucy's miraculous return creates laugh-filled pandemonium with everyone she re-encounters-especially with her upwardly mobile husband (Corbin Bernsen-Major League), who is now wed to her "former" best friend! Suddenly solo, Lucy must piece together a new life-in a riotous odyssey that bewilders her ex-husband-and bewitches both press and public alike! Taking Care of Business-James Belushi (Underdog) 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-Beethoven's 2nd), all hell breaks loose! With newfound cash, credit cards and the keys to a Malibu mansion, the impostor 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!
