...seems isolated, expected to sustain itself. Benjamin's patient merely represent all the familiar crazies of past sitcoms, such as the patient who thinks he is a bird or the frustrated middle-aged woman who drones on and on. One particularly bizarre patient, who collects trash and wears paper foil to shield himself from the sun's rays, seems thrown in as yet another side of the confused psychiatric profession.

Cher, as the never-aging sex-pot Cissy, becomes the perfect foil for the unstable Mona. Her character has had the same wonderful figure--boobs and all--for 20 years and she resounds with a sensuous good humor.
