It’s hard to know what to make of Robert Downey Sr.’s insane scattershot satire on the advertising world. He seems to throw everything he can think of at his many targets hoping something will land. A lot of its irreverent jokes on race, religion, sexuality, weight and more would be verboten in today’s sensitive world, and the entire thing reeks of a long-lost era. That doesn’t make it good, but it’s eye-opening for sure – and a lot of laughs.
