Product Information

Disabled children should be booked as children rather than 'Disabled'. If they are travelling in a wheelchair or you wish to book assistance with travel please call our Assisted Travel Helpline before booking and at least 36 hours in advance of when you would like to travel. Assisted Travel Helpline Dan Aykroyd plays John Burns, a patient at a mental hospital who may or may not actually be mental. He gives the psychiatrist, Lawrence Baird (David Clennon), plenty of grief and misery, which leads us to believe he is a sane person after all.

Akyroyd stars as John Burns, a career crook who fakes insanity to escape prison. Now, a dumb comedy would just be about this. But "The Couch Trip" uses this as a springboard for everything else. Beverly Hills psychiatrist George Maitlin (Charles Grodin, subtly hilarious here)has a nervous breakdown and a replacement is selected: Lawrence Baird, who happens to be Akyroyd's psychiatrist! You can pretty much guess what's going to happen, but the great thing about "The Couch Trip" is not what happens, but how it is done. Hoglund, Andy (February 23, 2016).

Hollywood abandoned all notions that a movie should end as it began, with the relationships of the characters. Aragon, Boleyn, Seymour, Cleves, Howard, Parr – divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Everyone knows the story of Henry VIII and his six wives, but now we have the chance to hear a modern retelling of their lives in the fabulous SIX the Musical! Turning historic heartbreak into a 21st celebration of girl power, the famous wives tell their tales in the style of a pop concert, coming together to share their stories and decide who had it worst with the Tudor King.

When the time comes to do the radio talk show, Burns is a huge hit, offering people free consultations and using profanity on the air. He even arranges for listeners to go to a baseball game at Dodger Stadium for free (where he also sings the National Anthem). Dixon began her career as a model and was named Miss Virginia USA in 1976 and Miss District of Columbia World in 1977. She competed in both Miss USA 1976 and Miss World USA 1977. [2] In 2016, Aykroyd partnered with TV producers Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey and game developer Ike McFadden to release an online-casino game that features the Blues Brothers. Aykroyd provided the in-game voice of his Elwood Blues character via voiceover. [44] Charitable works [ edit ]

A movie definitely worth watching for a couple of good laughs but it just isn't the best 'silly''80's comedy around. We strongly recommend that you bring a car seat appropriate to your child's age, but ask you to take responsibility to fit the seat.

With exclusive itineraries and exciting excursions included as standard, plus festive entertainment and menus on our festive specials, there really is no better reason to book! The Couch Trip" is one of many films made by the now-defunct Orion Pictures Corporation that are currently unseen. MGM spent a fortune buying the Orion library but have yet to truly cash in on their acquisition. "The Couch Trip" joins "Dressed to Kill", "Blow Out" and countless others in gathering dust rotting in the vault. Shame on MGM for their inaction. Hopefully, with new management, "The Couch Trip" will find the audience and respect it deserves.

Aykroyd appeared in two February 2011 episodes of CBS's The Defenders as Judge Max Hunter, which also starred Jim Belushi. [31] He also appeared on Top Chef Canada as a guest judge. [32] He had supporting roles in the 2012 political comedy film The Campaign, which starred SNL alum Will Ferrell, and in the 2013 HBO film Behind the Candelabra.Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy-Variety or Music Series (shared with other writers) There's nothing quite like a theatre trip to the capital, where the best performers from across the world converge on London's world-famous West End to put on a spectacular show, taking you on a thrill-ride of imagination without even having to leave your seat! The plotting is kind of standard, as we see the highly unorthodox and tactless Aykroyd actually become a real hit on the air while filling in for Grodin. This, however, leads to one of the better gags in the picture as Aykroyd thinks he's found the solution to following through on his promise of free therapy to Grodin's patients. The R rating does allow for some well timed (but not excessive) use of profanity - that actually made it into the trailer! Hyman, Dan (December 4, 2012).
