How To Get Ahead In Advertising - 1989 - 6/10
Ha ha, how about grow one, Boil?
Advertising exec, ruthless, callow, suffers the equivalent of writer’s block.
He cannot devise a slogan for … wait for it … pimple cream.
Frustration spills onto his wife, colleagues, then infects his own body.
A stress boil forms on his shoulder. Which grows eyes and a mouth, and starts talking back.
Pungent comedy, hideous black humor that seems to worsen moment by moment.
An overlooked comic gem with Richard Grant giving a bravura performance.
