In Tony Bill’s humourless satire, Dudley Moore plays Emory Leeson, an advertising copywriter so desperately out of slogans that he winds up in a mental hospital.
Satirical commercials in the film provide a chance to parade a number of real-life products.
Daryl Hannah offers one bit of relief as Kathy Burgess, a doctor with a liberating degree of nuttiness that shows up the sappy conventions of the rest of the movie.
