An embarrassingly bungled comedy which started life with the best of intentions (to satirise the glossy excesses of the advertising industry) but which slipped heavily on its own banana skin by using the vehicle of mental health. Dudley Moore, hamming it up with relish, is the ad man who is thrown into a luxury sanatorium after he launches a campaign of slogans which tell the truth. He meets, among others, kooky Daryl Hannah in a vast array of frayed cardigans. This is a variation on the old chestnut “we lock up the sane”, but it is so ineptly handled that it veers on the offensive.

Genius shines through
This movie in the hands of another cast would be atrociously bad but for some reason it just works.
Dudley Moore shows us is manic side which in my opinion is when he is at his best and conducting the rest of the 'Crazy People' actually had me crying with laughter in places.
What it boils down to is a romantic comedy with its peaks and its troughs but at the end of the movie you WILL be singing the hello song and if you take something like that away, then you know its hit the right notes. -
