But the corporate life he thought he abandoned soon dogs his heels. Tap Dancing Musicians Inc., a 17-day"fantasy dropout camp" engineered by Donald's ex-boss (John Astin), becomes the in thing for slumming CEOs – and Donald is thewidely proclaimed role model. Can Donald abracadabra his way out of this? Get to Know Your Rabbit – and get ready to laugh.
Customer Reviews
Can't be described
DePalma is mostly known for his thrillers, but the early comedies are truly some of the most unique you'll ever see. The description for this movie doesn't do it justice, as the movie is really more of a "stream-of-consciousness" comedy than a straight narrative. Each scene becomes more bizarre and unexpected than the previous. That's not to say it isn't funny in conventional ways, because it certainly is outrageously funny at times. It just doesn't follow the rules that most others do.
