 Synopses for Brain Donors (1992)
1.A lunatic lawyer and his two addled sidekicks hatch a harebrained scheme to take control of a fledgling ballet company run by a wealthy widow. The zany trio figure they'll be on easy street if they can land cushy jobs running the company, but there are a few obstacles in their way -- namely a greedy, ambulance-chasing lawyer who has other plans for the dowager's money and a snooty, egotistical dancer who fancies himself a "living legend" in the ballet world.   

2.  Three Bozos. One Ballet Company. Tutu Many Laughs!

From the Zucker Brothers, the creators of Airplane! and The Naked Gun films, comes the year's most outrageous laughfest featuring the zaniest screen screwballs since the Brothers Marx-the Brain Donors!


High society meets high hilarity when rich widow Lillian Oglethorpe (Nancy Marchand) hires fast-talking, ambulance-chasing lawyer Roland T. Flakfizer (John Turturro) as her legal advisor. His first assignment: to fulfill Mr. Oglethorpe's dream of founding a ballet company.

Flakfizer recruits two unbearable assistants: Jacques (Bob Nelson), a Harp-like jack-of-all-trades and master of none; and Rocco Melonchek (Mel Smith), a cab driver moonlighting as a pool cleaner, lipsuctioner, and toupee salesman. What ensues is an outrageous, fall-down-funny assault on culture and good taste, as the Brain Donors make merry while driving everyone else mental!
