Summary:
A cynical advertising exec has a block at work leading to a meltdown. He's hilariously out of control. Getting a big, talking boil on his shoulder doesn't help.
Genre(s):
Fantasy, Comedy
Runtime:
90 min
This British-made story of an advertising executive and the boil on his neck begins as a marketable concept comedy and turns into a combination psychological horror flick and thought- provoking parable. [10 Jul 1989, p.C5]
The message is troweled on far too thickly at the end, but up to then, Robinson raises legitimate issues with a lively, sardonic and inventive sense of humor. [15 Jul 1989, p.C08]
Robinson's impassioned decency and coruscating invective make "How to Get Ahead in Advertising" a high-minded, invigorating mess. [19 May 1989, p.47]
