"The Dream Team" is a very entertaining and well paced comedy throughout until the very end. It gets lots of mileage out of a simple central idea and the idea itself seems to have been inspired by the fishing trip episode in Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and in this instance, as with the 1962 novel, it is an authorised outing fully sanctioned - albeit reluctantly - by the senior staff at the Cedarbrook Psychiatric Hospital. This film could have been nothing more than a shallow comedy featuring an intriguing central idea whose potential is never fully realised or developed upon, so it is refreshing to discover this film doesn't suffer that unfortunate fate and indeed the complete opposite is actually the case.
