Plot:

I watched this because I like Darryl Hannah. I think it was a "nice" story with a few fun moments.
No thinking required.
It might have been released in 1990 but the script was definitely written in the 80s.
I'm fond of Daryl Hannah but now I have to wonder if I've inflated her acting skills in my mind. She came off as petulant instead of neurotic.
I've never been a huge Dudley Moore fan but I've liked things he's done. This felt like a phone in job for him.
It really felt like the leads were all thoroughly bored and distracted. They'd 'wake up' and realize it was their line and deliver it and then zone off again.
It was mildly amusing to see Paul Reiser playing a similiar character to the corp hack in Aliens.
The only thing I would recommend this movie for would be the funny "honest advertising" campaigns that the movie's plot centers around.
Daryl Hannah: 1 star
Daryl acting badly: -.5 star
Funny ads: 1 star
It's an 80s movie and I love the 80s: 2 stars
It's a dated 80s movie that fails to enchant: -1 star.
Summary: 2.5 stars
this movie makes me love advertising more than before. this movie is cool. i do not know whether it told the truth story of many companies or not but the movie is very funny till the end. brilliant!
i havent seen this for years but absolute classic. very saft but equally as funny.
dudley moore is great.
Dudley Moore finds out that crazy people write better ad copy than sane people. Sort of condescending.
Being an advertising/marketing man, I have a soft spot for this film.
"Can someone give me an example of a feeling?"
"Scallops?"
"Eskimo pie?"
"Hello?"
Rated R and I saw it when I was 8 with my cousin. I went home after and asked my parents what a hand job was. I got in trouble. No good.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Crazy People" !
