Storyline
Emory works in advertising, and is beginning to crack-up. His latest idea is honesty, e.g. "Volvos, Yes they are boxy, but they're safe". This doesn't go down too well with the boss, so Emory is sent to a psychiatric hospital to 'recover'. Meanwhile, back at the office, Emory's work is accidentally sent to the printers. His ads are a huge success. But now Emory has fallen for Kathy (another patient) and so doesn't want to leave. Written by Rob Hartill

Trivia
Four of the advertising blurbs in the movie said (1) "SONY. Because Caucasians are just too damn tall" ; (2) "CONTINENTAL EXPRESS. We'll Screw Them To Get Your Package There On Time" ; (3) "METAMUCIL. It helps you go to the toilet. If you don't use it, you'll get cancer and die" and (4) "QUAKER OATS. Does This Cereal Taste Great? Who knows. But At Least The Box IS Cute. Quaker Oats. Old Fashioned. 100% Natural". See more »Quotes

This is definitely one of the movies that portrays the best the way advertising should be... or shouldn't be! It made me laugh a lot. My favorite slogan from all is "Come In The Bahamas" :-)
