Crazy People
A Comedy About Truth In Advertising
He's Dudley Moore (10, Arthur). She's Daryl Hannah (Splash, Roxanne, Steel Magnolias). Separately, they're two of Hollywood's most popular stars. Together, they're Crazy People.
When a stressed-out ad exec (Moore) propose a "truth in advertising" scheme, he is promptly shipped off to a mental institution. There he teams up with a kooky blonde (Hannah) and a slew of nutty patients. What happens next is absolutely crazy because the public goes absolutely nuts for the new way of advertising. You'll crack up over the advertising slogans you've always wished Madison Avenue would use!

A very postive and nicely acted movie. I enjoyed the characters and the cute storyline, it gives a very nice message to people, and I love Dudley Moore period!!He's great in the Arthur movies with Liza minelli as well!! Very funny actor, if you haven't yet, check out "like Father Like Son" also an 80's flick which Dudley is hilarious in.great movie - PoWhtBoY
just because your old does not mean you do not have a lot to offer. The story line is funny and the characters are lovable. I seen this movie when it first came out and was thrilled when I stumbled over it here on zip. This movie will entertain you and leave you looking at product in a new light - insert and enjoyHow about a little truth? - Film_Prophet1
In this small but hilarious formula comedy, Dudley Moore plays an advertising agent who is thrown into the mental institution after giving his truth-in-advertisements. It's a formula
film, obviously,but it is still funny.
I'll be honest, the only thing about the film worth watching is the Advertisements. Dudley Moore's honest adds are over the top and hilarious. Some of the adds include "Metamucil will help you go to the toilet. If you don't use it, you'll get cancer" and "Forget the french, they're annoying. Visit Greece, we're nicer."
I wished they had sticked to the advertisements. The scenes in the mental institution just do not work. The crazy people are mere charactures. Daryl Hannah is just wrong for the role of a crazy person.
It would have worked if it was all about Dudley Moore taking on the world of adverstisements and turn it into a satire on the media.
