Dudley Moore as a burnt out advertising executive whosemental breakdown lands him in a psychiatric hospital. With time on his hand, the man quickly recovers his mental health and is inspired to make truthful advertisements, such as in an ad forVolvo , which proclaims "Buy Volvos. They're boxy but they're good." In the sanitarium he falls in love with Kathy (Daryl Hannah ), a fellow patient, and transforms the place into a branch of the advertising industry, where other mental patients come up with wild, often funny advertising slogans, like "Forget Paris. Come to Greece. We're nicer," for a Greek travel agency and "Come... in the Bahamas" for the island nation's national tourism board. The movie closes with George (David Paymer ), a patient who speaks only in variations of "Hello" (e.g., "Hello, how the flip are you?"), singing the "Hello" parts of "Hello, Hello, Hello! What a wonderful word, Hello."The movie was released on
