Movie Reviews of Crazy People
Movie Review: An obscure little gem.
Summary: 4 Stars
For anyone in the advertising industry this is a must see. This is a great Dudley Moore film with some hilarious one-liners that will have you still laughing long after the movie is over.Movie Review: A one-joke movie - but it's not a bad joke
Summary: 3 Stars
Crazy People is a one joke movie, but the joke is given enough amusing variations as a very unwell looking adman Dudley Moore (in a part he took over when mystifying original choice John Malkovich walked out) starts designing honest ad campaigns and finds himself committed to a mental hospital alongside several benignly stereotyped cuckoos (this is NOT an attempt at an accurate portrayal of mental health) only to draw them into his brutal-truth-in-advertising campaign when the concept catches on. Some of the mock ads are great ("Don't go to France. The French are annoying. Come to Greece instead - we're nicer."), although there is one that falls horribly flat for modern audiences due to events long after its production - in this case a campaign for United Airlines stressing the dangers of flying but adding "Most of our passengers get there alive."
As usual per Paramount's back-catalogue releases, no extras, just a decent widescreen transfer.
