Story

A small-time swindler facing legal trouble attempts to dodge conviction by feigning mental illness during his court hearing. His plan backfires when he's admitted to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. During a blackout that night, a case of mistaken identity sees him suddenly positioned as a doctor within the hospital walls, leading to a chaotic chain of events.

Why watch

  • Richard Pryor leads this 1987 comedy with his distinctive comedic style
  • Directed by Michael Apted, known for his work across varied genres
  • A lighthearted premise built around mistaken identity and hospital chaos

Good for: Comedy fans who enjoy playful, character-driven humour; not specifically a family film given the unknown certification.
