Emory works in advertising, and is beginning to crack-up. His latest idea is honesty, e.g. "Volvos, Yes they are boxy, but they're safe". This doesn't go down too well with the boss, so Emory is sent to a psychiatric hospital to 'recover'. Meanwhile, back at the office, Emory's work is accidentally sent to the printers. His ads are a huge success. But now Emory has fallen for Kathy (another patient) and so doesn't want to leave.

Some scenes differ slightly from those in the trailer: - The line "You can't tell the truth, you idiot" from the trailer has "asshole" instead of "idiot" in the movie. - The text of the Jaguar ad reads "for men who want special attention" in the trailer and "for men who want hand jobs" in the movie.

"Paramount Pictures presents 'The Freak.' This movie won't just scare you, it will fuck you up for life." I want to know how the fuck the word "fuck" gets in the New York fucking Times!
