"The Road to Wellville" satirizes the early 1900's Battle Creek, Michigan sanatorium operated by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (Hopkins) of corn flakes fame. What this raucous rampage of silliness lacks in story it makes up for with an aggregation of comical stereotypes who subject themselves to all manner of quackery and contraptions in the interest of promoting good health. Featuring a good cast, good production value, and flush gags about biological functions below the waste, "....Wellville" will be enjoyed most by those who can find the humor in toilet talk, farting, purging, enemas, and anything and everything having to do with the alimentary canal.
