Reviews
"The Couch Trip" is a film where the comedy truly works and it is highly amusing to watch Dan Aykroyd masquerading as Doctor Baird and brazenly hosting Doctor Maitlin's staid phone-in radio show in his own inimitable way - it is almost like watching Ken Kesey's enduring character Randal P. McMurphy let loose on a much broader canvas than the one afforded to him by a mere unauthorised fishing trip
