Growing Yourself

Composed of three short segments, National Lampoon's anthology satirizes everything from personal growth films, glamorous soap operas, and exciting police stories. Starting with "Growing Yourself", a confused family man goes to great lengths to find a new meaning in life, and raise his four children. In "Success Wanters", the ambitious college graduate, Dominique Corsaire, is bent on succeeding in life, working her way up the career ladder as a stripper, a mistress, and a margarine company owner. Then, in "Municipalians", inexperienced LAPD policeman, Officer Brent Falcone, teams up with the cynical veteran, Stan Nagurski, on the hunt for the inept serial killer, Samuel Starkman.
