In Welville, at Battle Creek, eccentric rich Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (a historical figure) runs a stylish health farm for the wealthy, an idea ahead of his time, based on extreme vegetarianism, neither sex, masturbation or even sensual stimulation, but laughing therapy and purging the 'polluted' body, mainly by exercises, often in open air, vicious diet, his invention corn flakes, laxatives, anal yogurt cure, enemas and brutal mechanical cleansing. Eleanor Lightbody drags her sickly, incredulous husband Will along to the therapy; the couple is almost immediately separated and getting horny fo... r more available members of the opposite sex.

Turn of the century Michigan, home of corn flake creator Dr John Harvey Kellogg's sanatorium, a place where unconventional methods are used to clear customers' bodies of impurities. Parker frequently surprises us with his choice of projects, but those choices are not always rewarding. This is an uneven, silly film, with too many distracting sub-plots to have any real focus, and too many puerile jokes about enemas and stool samples to be particularly funny. A weird performance from Hopkins, almost unrecognizable as the good doctor, elevates proceedings a little, but ultimately as tasteless and witless as a dirty seaside postcard.
