Vague recollection tells me that this Dudley Moore vehicle actually had something going for it. If someone were to put a gun to my head and force me to rewatch one Daryl Hannah movie I would probably choose this.

Film tries to create a screwball atmosphere blending a Preston Sturges-like satire of business with Frank Capra-ish sentiment. The mock commercials are funny, but that's about all that is.

I remember thinking this was funny. I'd watch it again. I remember one of the ad campaigns they come up with as being hilarious to this day.

The love story is totally contrived and messy, and honestly, so is most of the mental instituition stuff. The movie can't really decide if it wants to empathize with the patients or take pot-shots at them. BUT, this movie is still recommendable, in large part because the initial advertising concepts that get Moore's character institutionalized are so fucking funny that I still remember them vividly, though I haven't seen the film in years. I can't look at a Volvo without thinking of this.

Totally hypocritical film that tries to get us to feel sorry for these mental patients but takes lots of cheap shots at them anyway
