One might interpret Michael Dinner's "Hot to Trot" as a mockery of the corporate world, with Dabney Coleman essentially recreating his role from "9 to 5". Whether or not it got intended like that, it's mostly a silly comedy, as the protagonist's equine friend plays tricks on the company. Not the most original story. It should entertain the under-twelve crowd.
I would've liked to see John Candy get to branch out from this (his roles in Oliver Stone's "JFK" and Michael Moore's "Canadian Bacon" notwithstanding). Co-star Cindy Pickett is best known as the mom in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
