    While the mental patients are clearly actors, the idea for this film is great! Very entertaining :)

    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'v...( read more)e 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
