  • 4 stars out of 5

    A light-hearted spin on One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, with a group of inmates from a psychiatric hospital slipping the leash while on a day trip to New York. Michael Keaton, in the year he became a superstar in Batman, has a role here that gives him the chance to do what he does best — the silver-tongued, lovable rogue. He also benefits from a gallery of accomplished supporting players, most notably an anally retentive Christopher Lloyd and Peter Boyle as the reformed advertising executive with a Christ complex. Director Howard Zieff makes an occasional attempt at seriousness, but, for the most part, keeps the laughs flowing smoothly.

    What a team!

    Loved, loved, loved this movie! When four psychiatric patients are abandoned in New York after crooked cops attack their therapist, they must solve the crime to prove their innocence.

    What ensues is a buddy movie with hilarious consequences as a schizophrenic (Michael Keaton), an obsessive compulsive (Christopher Lloyd), a Jesus fanatic (Peter Boyle) and an almost catatonic individual try to blend into the Big Apple.

    A great comedy that leaves a smile on your face after watching:)
