i be surprise that this and well above average 80 comedy score only a 5 . 2 from all the imdb voter . dan ackroyd do his usual satirical turn a a con who seize a great opportunity to steal a contract from his prison physician . he retreat to california to start his work give advice on a radio show pretending to be the infamous dr lawrence baird . the only person that know he an imposter be the drunken priest ( walter matthau ) who come along to be pamper by ackroyd new find wealth have blakmailed him . charles grodin throw in a good supporting performance too . for it genre i think this film deserve the same crediblity a ferris bueller or trading place . 7 . 5 or 10 .
