I never never thought about it until I read your post. Yes, they are similar but not the same. A look at the surface yes but the acting is so different, the motivation and love interest differ too. Both great movies!

I saw both movies as a kid and have always thought they were very similar. Glad to see other people picked up on it. Dana Carvey is one of the most underrated funnymen ever.

Both were enjoyable and funny films I can say that much.

I was a teenager at the time when I watched both films. At the time when Opportunity Knocks came out I was 18 years old and remember going to see it at the movie theater along with Taking Care Of Business as well. Both movie theaters were empty with not that many people there to watch the films. Yes Dana Carvey is hilarious all right.

Yes it does seem similar to Taking Care Of Business with James Belushi in the film all right. James Belushi also plays a conman in the film also who cons people out of money and all. I have not seen that film in ages and remember going to the movie theater to watch it.
