The movie is mostly merely pleasant. On a few occasions it's very funny, but it never quite goes over the top and gets the big laughs it is obviously aiming for.

Madhouse is the dime-store equivalent of Luis Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel, about dinner guests who can't bring themselves to leave a house and end up starving.

It's like a sitcom exploded onto the big screen.
