Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Uriah43 It's been 3 weeks since 4 mental patients were taken off of their medication and the psychiatrist in charge of them has decided that it would be good therapy to take them into nearby New York City to see a Yankees baseball game. What he doesn't count on is being assaulted in an alley for witnessing a crime and being taken to a local hospital there while his 4 mental patients are left to their own devices. Neither does he realize that these 4 clinically insane individuals are all that stands between him and some rogue cops who are determined to tie up any and all loose ends by killing him. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that this turned out to be a decent comedy all things considered. Although I was somewhat disappointed with the performance of Michael Keaton (as "Billy Caufield") he still managed to contribute some comic relief here and there so I suppose his talent wasn't totally wasted. On the other hand, I thought Stephen Furst (as "Albert Ianuzzi") was absolutely hilarious and in my opinion he essentially stole the show. In any case, despite its uneven nature I happened to like this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

anchoreddown Out of no-where at Best Buy I found this movie. Liking all four of the actors that play the characters in the nut house, I bought it.You basically have the baseball nut who can't talk, the imaginative one who can fib just about anyone, the doctor who is extremely tightly and the Son of God who walks around the institution naked.Put these four together and you get a riot of laughs.Personally, Christopher Lloyd and Michael Keaton are the funniest.Peter Boyle alone can take the show, no doubt. One of his funnier scenes is when he starts taking his clothes off in front of a church congregation AND thankfully was escorted out before he could finish.Stephen Furst I haven't seen as much and I have NOT seen Animal House yet. However I did see him in Midnight Madness and thought he did a good job.for comedy at its best and for something completely random, like Monty Python is, this is the movie for you

ccthemovieman-1 This was a humorous film about a small group of mental patients who are let loose in New York City for a day. They are "Jack" (Peter Boyle), "Henry" (Christopher Lloyd), "Billy" (Michael Keaton).and "Albert" (Stephen Furst). Actually, they are taken to a ballgame and the doctor in charge of them is kidnapped there, after he witnesses a crime. The boys are are now on their own in a "lost in New York" scenario.Mainly, this film is a bunch of sight gags more than a cohesive story. Boyle, Lloyd and Keaton are all, by now, well-known actors who bring a lot of life to their characters here. It's a lot of silliness but, for the most part, works and provides a lot of laughs. As a baseball fan, I appreciated Furst's performance best.Peter Boyle ("Jack McDermott") plays one of several insane people who are "lost in New York" and are out on the streets having a good time. He is a "Jesus freak," which the screenwriters consider nuts, of course. He and other churchgoers are pictured in the movies as lunatics. Gosh, what a shock Hollywood would do that. They also have crooked cops in here - another shock.The film still had a lot of funny moments, thanks to the actors and the interesting premise of mental patients fending for themselves in the big city. It's total lunacy.

michael-wollman This is a film that had the right elements,but a comedy about supposed mental patients is very difficult to pull off without it being insulting-this wasn't insulting-it just wasn't interesting, realistic, and for the exception of Michael Keaton, no one here was funny. Michael Keaton is great star who deserves a strong comeback.The story is about patients from a mental home who are on an outing, when their psychiatrist in charge is harmed after witnessing a murder, and the patients are left on their own. They ultimately discover the doctors situation, and must protect him from those still trying to kill him. Meanwhile authoroties are looking for them as suspects. If the plot seems dumb-well..it is. But humor and good writing can overcome that. This fails on every level except the acting-though Michael Keaton is the standout. Not even worth a DVD rental.
