Plots(1)
To hotshot ad exec Dennis Bagley (Richard E. Grant), people are pathetic sheep to whom he can sell anything except a brand-new pimple cream. Creatively blocked, Dennis becomes so stressed that he sprouts a pimple of his own a pimple that eventually grows into a huge head... with a mind and a voice! Before long, the sassy carbuncle takes over Dennis' life, revealing to him a diabolical plan to control the masses. Now Dennis must find courage deep within himself to save society and himself from the beastly blemish! (official distributor synopsis)
