A lot of fun.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This movie is incredibly funny when the Hello song is verbalized (and it is never done enough times for me:-) I like the plot and all the characters! It is quite emotional and extremely funny!! I believe (unlike most people who have not seen it or have no sense of humor or emotion) this movie should be rated as a classic comedy! However it is not shown more than once a decade on the all of the 129 movie channels I am able to view!! I love this movie... Hello Hello Hello:-) I will see this whenever I can...Hello, Hello, Hello...I will love it wherever I go. If you miss this movie tomorrow you won't see it for nearly a decade. Oh well just rent it and watch it and you will be delighted!!
[Possible spoilers] The general plot is that an advertiser, Emory (Dudley Moore), is sent to a lunatic asylum. His work is exposed and everyone loves the advertisements, so he does his work with the other patients inside the asylum and is a hit. You have to watch the rest to find out what happens! I like the story, and I find it even sad at some stages. 7/10
Top-notch advertiser Dudley Moore is committed to an insane asylum after he comes up with some whacked campaigns for famous products. However his work is accidently exposed and everyone loves the new advertisements. Thus the agency convinces Moore to come up with more ideas with the help of the other patients at the institution. Daryl Hannah, J.T. Walsh and Paul Reiser are good in supporting turns. The film is a hit-and-miss comedy that has some really great moments, but in the end there is just nothing really above average when all is completed. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
This is just one of those movies that you can just enjoy. A very pleasing movie with a ton of memorable lines. If only advertising was really like this. See "The Freak", this movie will not only scare you, it will f**k you up for life! A classic.
