John Burns (Dan Aykroyd) is a prisoner patient in a state mental hospital in Chicago. He escapes, steals his doctor's identity, and flies out to L. A. where he takes over from radio host Dr. George Maitlin (Charles Grodin). Dr. Laura Rollins (Donna Dixon) is Maitlin's assistant. Donald Becker (Walter Matthau) is a crazy guy at the airport.
This is mildly amusing. I'm ambivalent towards Aykroyd and his character. I'm ambivalent to almost everybody in this movie. The best hope is the pairing of Aykroyd and Matthau. That seems to be a promising pairing but they don't have much time together. One has to wait until the midpoint before Matthau shows up. It's a lot of setting up and meandering plot. I can take it or leave it with this movie.
