Howard Zieff directed this amusing comedy that stars Michael Keaton as Billy Caufield, a new inmate at the New York state sanitarium where he is admitted for observation. One day, his group psychiatrist decides it a good idea to take Billy and three other inmates(played by Christopher Lloyd, Peter Boyle, and Stephen Furst) into the city for a baseball game. While there, he is witness to a crime and hospitalized, leaving the four men on their own, looking for their doctor, and also being pursued by the criminals. How will these guys cope? Clearly inspired by "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"(there is a similar sequence in that film too) this film still works moderately well, with a good cast and funny scenes, even if it is predictable and unlikely.
