career opportunity start off promise enough and but after an hour it slip into home alone territory and become silly . the cast be very good in their part and especially frank whaley and who a very funny and charismatic lead and the gorgeous jennifer connelly . it also have a slick direct job by bryan gordon and a fun cameo by john candy . i enjoy the film first half and which be really funny and clever . it the film last half and which be a bummer . when the two robber come in and the film lose mosts of it laugh and become pointless and silly . it seem a if john hughes just run out of idea and rip off his home alone concept and like all of his 90 family movie . overall and it a failed and but entertain and sometimes funny attempt for hughes to make a comeback at teen movie .
