Simon

A think tank of scientists brainwashes bamboozled psychologist Simon Mendelssohn (Alan Arkin) into believing he’s a space alien come to Earth in order to teach mankind how to better itself. It all unravels when Simon escapes to the sanctuary of a communal cult, and finds himself a target of the U.S. military. Madeline Kahn, Wallace Shawn, and Fred Gwynne co-star in this comic concoction written and directed by frequent Woody Allen collaborator Marshall Brickman. 97 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
