Brought to you by many of the same folks who make the films of Woody Allen, this cinematic delight stars many great comic character actors who rarely are given the opportunity to strut their stuff. Austin Pendleton, (Who originated the role of Motel the tailor in "Fiddler on the Roof" on Broadway),Fred Gwynne (from TV's "The Munsters"), Wallace Shawn, Max Wright, and Adolph Green, are led by Alan Arkin in this romp which lampoons the influence of Television on contemporary culture, as well as ...

It is not very well known, which is unfortunate, because it should be. Its style is somewhat like Monty Python meets Woody Allen and Dr. Strangelove. The story of a self-styled genius who is convinced by a think tank that he is the offspring of a space ship and then tries to reform American culture via illicit TV broadcasts is hilarious ... Read More Rating: - This is my favorite film of all time! Alan Arkin delivers a hilarious performance in this crackpot tale of popular culture. The themes explored in this film range from psychology, to belief in aliens, to the media and pop culture. The cult of TV worshippers in truly hilarious and Simon's fultile attempt to get them to admire "real art" is a brillant comment on post-modern American advertising and brainwashing. Make no mistake, this is humor with a brain and a message, and I only wish more contemporary film could be as clever.
