Rental of the Week: "The Barefoot Executive"



Kurt Russell stars in today's rental recommendation alongside a chimp! I actually really like this movie, and I hope you will too! It follows the story of Steven Post (Kurt Russell) who is a mailroom clerk at a fiction television studio called UBC network! One day, Steven notices that his girlfriend's chimpanzee can pick which TV programs will receive the highest ratings each day! Okay, so how can a chimp do that? Well, if he claps his hands while watching a program, then the show will be a hit, but when he "blows a raspberry" during a show, the program will receive low ratings! Steven uses this to his advantage and pretends that he can predict hit shows! When a show that he predicts will become a hit... becomes a hit... Steven is promoted and eventually becomes the company's vice president! But unfortunately some folks are curious about how Steven is predicting these hit shows and decide to do some hilarious investigating! But how long can Steven hide his secret from not only the world, but also his girlfriend? Yeah, so the plot may sound cheesy, but this is a great comedy that actually takes some thought! Henceforth, the younger crowd may not understand the business side of the film, but they will laugh their heads off at the movie in general!
