The breakdown:  After an adman is a little too honest with new ad campaigns the company puts him in a mental hospital to get some R&R.

An advertising campaign man is a little burnt out and decides to tell the truth about some products.  Unfortunately, the boss doesn't think it's a good idea to tell people things like - Volvo's.  They're boxy, but they're safe.
So the adman gets put into a mental institution for 3 weeks time to get himself straight.  While he's there, his ads accidentally get put into production through a misunderstanding and they are a big success.  The boss wants him out, but while he's been institutionalized, he's made a girlfriend, and found some real friends who care about him, so he doesn't want to leave yet.

Overall, it was a cute and entertaining movie, but not the best Dudley Moore film I've seen.

I give it 3 and 1/2 out of 5 for being original and heart warming.
