From the Zucker Brothers, the brilliant brains behind the Airplane! And Naked Gun films, comes an outrageous laughfest featuring the zaniest screen screwballs since the Brothers Marx the Brain Donors! High society meets high hilarity when rich widow Lillian Oglethorpe (Nancy Marchand, TV's The Sopranos) hires fast-talking, ambulance-chasing lawyer Roland T. Flakfizer (John Turturro, Barton Fink) as her legal advisor. His first assignment: to fulfill Mr. Oglethorpe's dream of founding a ballet company. Flakfizer recruits two unable assistants: Jacques (Bob Nelson, Kindergarten Cop), a Harpo-like jack-of-all-trades and master of none; and Rocco Melonchek (Mel Smith, The Princess Bride), a cab driver moonlighting as a pool cleaner, liposuctioner and toupee salesman. What ensues is an off-the-wall, fall-down-funny assault on culture and good taste, as the Brain Donors make merry while driving everyone else mental! Deliriously directed by Dennis Dugan (Problem Child, Happy Gilmore).
Starring: John Turturro, Mel Smith
