A comedy of truly loony proportions.
Dan Aykroyd (Ghostbusters) is running the asylum - and ruling the airwaves - as a mental patient turned talk-radio shrink in this comedy of loony proportions co-starring Charles Grodin, Donna Dixon, Walter Matthau and Chevy Chase.
When asylum inmate John Burns (Aykroyd) intercepts a call to his psychiatrist, he brashly impersonates the good doctor. And he does such a good job that he's given an offer to fill in for a stressed-out Beverly Hills celebrity psychologist (Grodin) as the host of a call-in radio advice show. Escaping the hospital, Burns is soon gleefully crossing swords with his predecessor's beautiful colleague (Dixon), crossing paths with a crafty crackpot (Matthau) and crossing the line into complete hilarity as his offbeat psychobabble takes ultra-trendy La-La Land by storm!

Good film, but It's better on TV - 3 out of 5 (5/21/2003)
When you look back at the career of Dan Aykroyd, you can see that the guy is
best at playing the smartass who knows more than anybody else. He can toss
out dozens of useless facts and figures and make it seem like he is the most
important person in the room.
So that's basically why I think THE COUCH TRIP is a cool movie. Here
Aykroyd plays a lunatic from a mental institution that accidentally becomes
the hottest radio psychiatrist in the nation.
The punchline here that never gets de
