The Dream Team (1989)
This is an imperfect-but-creditable movie. Four mental patients are taken by their doctor on a field trip to a Yankees game, expecting to be gone only five hours. Billy (Michael Keaton) has anger issues and is a pathological liar, Henry (Christopher Lloyd) is compulsive about cleanliness and pretends to be a doctor, Jack (Peter Boyle) claims to be Jesus Christ, and Albert doesn’t speak. When their supervising doctor is mugged and taken by an ambulance, the four crazy men must find out who the perpetrators were and stop them.
Jack claims that Leviticus 5:14 says: “Call not for a doctor, but an elder of the church,” but the actual verse is: “The LORD spoke to Moses.” Philip Rizzuto was a shortstop for the New York Yankees from 1941 to 1956. After retiring, he became an announcer for the team over the next 40 years.
