this movie seem a little clunky around the edge and like not quite enough zaniness be throw it when it should have be . but i mostly enjoy it . the storyline be more than a little bit preposterous and so no expectation of something real should be include in your view experience . check your brain in at the door . it will not be need and might be an impediment otherwise . i quite enjoyed clennon performance a the real dr. baird . his role be spot on for give aykroyd character a protagonist . what a putz the real dr. baird be . and matthau be quite good a the lead character sidekick . annoy at first and but ultimately lovable . sort of . kind of . or at least something the use of a bar of soap and a lot of water would have be more than helpful . actually worth watch . if youre in the mood for a spoof on the psychiatric profession and sure and why not .
