The story of a group of misfits living in Miami, and their revenge against government bureaucracy.

Just a great feel fun comedy highlighting mental health issues. Great actors and great script.
Entry-level farce with flippant (though era-characteristic) views on mental illness, abuse, & racism (among other things) offers only a plodding script with too few jokes, although Kaplan is indisputably gleeful & charming. #nitrosMovieChallenge.
Someone gave me free tickets to this movie and it was so bad we wanted to walk out half way through the movie. Always checking to see if its pne of the WORST movies of all time.
Unfunny and pointless...I tried to like it but it just kept getting worse as the minutes passed.
Three guys in therapy, each with a different mental disorder, have their car ruined when they drive into a pot"HOLE". They feel the city should buy them a new car, since it was the city's pothole that ruined their car, and they won't take no for an answer. They devise a plan to steal a mortar cannon, get it aboard a boat and threaten to blow a hole in the mayor's house if he doesn't buy them a new car. Klein is absolutely fabulous as a schizophrenic with personalities ranging from an elegant actress to a mob boss named Rocky.
Okay, it's far from fantastic and it's very unlikely that most people will ever see this movie, but for me it's one of my favorite silly movies from the 1980s. Kaplan, Karras, and Klein were all hilarious in this - especially Kaplan. I was a WELCOME BACK, KOTTER fan and I enjoyed him in that, but I think this movie was a far better showcase of what he could deliver as a comedic actor. I showed this movie to a friend recently and throughout it he kept saying how dumb it was, yet he was laughing a lot as he watched it. Yes, parts of it are "dumb" or downright silly, but this movie is a LOT of fun to watch. Bud Gott
