Overview
Twenty-three years after scoring the winning touchdown for his college football team mild-mannered Harold Diddlebock, who has been stuck in a dull, dead-end book-keeping job for years, is let go by his pompous boss, advertising tycoon J.E. Wagglebury, with nothing but a tiny pension. Harold, who never touches the stuff, takes a stiff drink with his new pal... and another, and another. What happened Wednesday?

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A screwball romp where a meek accountant's one wild night of drinking spirals into increasingly outlandish chaos, mixing slapstick mayhem with the fantasy of finally breaking free from a stifling life. It's pure comedic escapism, absurd, fast-moving, and unapologetically silly.
