Marshall Brickman, who used to produce Woody Allen's comedy films, branches out on his own with the deft, daft piece about a man who is brainwashed (by a group of boffins with nothing better to do) into thinking he is a visitor from outer space. Alan Arkin is extremely funny in this role, and, although most of the amusement is in the first half, the film has some witty shafts to shoot at the American way of life.
