Plot: The eponymous team consists of four residents of a New Jersey psychiatric hospital: ex-postal worker Henry Sikorsky (Christopher Lloyd), who fancies himself a doctor; one-time ad agency exec Jack McDermott (Peter Boyle), suffering from a Messiah/martyr complex; writer Billy Caulfield (Michael Keaton), who cannot abide the idiots in the world (namely, everyone but himself); and TV-obsessed Albert Ianuzzi (Stephen Furst). Permitted a field trip to a baseball game, the four unfortunates wander off when psychiatrist Dr. Weitzman (Dennis Boutsikaris) is waylaid by two corrupt police officers after he witnesses them killing a third cop. The innocent inmates are accused of attacking Dr. Weitzman, but it is they who team up to bring the actual culprits to justice. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A very funny classic!

This is a great classic comedy, with a good cast, especially Peter Boyle, who is one of my favorites (most notably from Everybody Loves Raymond).

This Absolutely Stupid Movie is a Total Waste of Time
Added 7/30/2009

Part of my decision to go ahead and purchase this "comedy" was based on the reviews of 39 people who gave this movie either a 5 or 4 star rating. How it is that 39 people could give this absolutely stupid movie a five or four star rating is beyond me. These folks either identify too closely with the characters in the movie or are related to the producers of this inept, implausible, poorly written & acted piece of movie crap.

The Dream Team is the story of four Trenton, N.J. asylum patients with varying degrees of mental disorders who are treated by their Patch Adams wanabe therapist to a day at the ball park to watch the New York Yankees. This means driving to Yankee Stadium in the borough of The Bronx. The therapist takes a route through the Holland Tunnel into lower Manhattan - yah right, that's the best route to Yankee Stadium from New Jersey. One patient needs to "wee wee" so doc takes him into a lower Manhattan alleyway where our meandering doc witnesses two men commit a murder while our mental patient relieves himself. Doc is assaulted and seriously injured by one of the bad boys and is rushed off to the hospital.

Now we have four mental patients wondering the streets of Manhattan. So now we have a chance to see some funny situations and antics. What do we get? We get a pathetic, petty, inept, implausible and sadly immature script that simply falls flat on its face. The acting is equally pathetic and totally beneath the abilities of the late Peter Boyle. This is one of those movies that is so bad you keep watching it just to see if there's anyway that it could get better and have a funny ending. It doesn't!

Avoid this movie at all cost - unless your intellectual capacity levels off around the third grade.

I have been a fan of this movie for a long time. Having worked in the psychiatric field I loved the characterizations and all the one-liners!
