Sorry, this movie sucks

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Blistering performances.

"WTF did I just watch??" was the only thing that went through my mind when the credits started to roll.This movie is messed up in all kinds of ways. An amateur mess of different genres. It just jerks from supernatural to horror to comedy to musical to violence to drama to WTF?? I tried hard to get a general concept of the plot. But there really isn't one at all. It's not worth mentioning the plot because the story is loose, messed up, messy, just not a plot at all.This movie isn't weird, or even so bad it's funny, it's just plain bad. Maybe that was the goal of the makers, because apparently the project was sold to a Chinese company, who told them what kind of film to make, and so the makers decided to mess up the movie, just to tick off the Chinese company.I didn't really enjoy sitting through the length of this movie. I've read a lot of reviews prior to watching this film, telling me that it's just a really weird, disturbing, messed up movie. Not really. It was just plain bad. I expected a bit more. 3*

It seems that every bozo who's written a comment for this movie has eventually come to a point and admitted that they gave up with trying to follow the plot. But not me! I stuck it out, and I'll now tell you exactly what transpired in Crazy Lips.Nah, I'm messing with you. I gave up as well. I did. Here's a quick glimpse into what Crazy Lips has to offer. The flick starts off with a family being bombarded by news reporters who want answers about their possible murdering brother. They hire some crazy psychic broad who can remote-sense through telephone lines, then there's her boob squeezin' obsessed side-kick. Then you find out one of the sisters has some type of super mind control power that she uses to kill people with, then the psychic chick orders 'ceremonies' on the entire family that basically just rapes them.....I can go on and on with the whackiness on display here. And it only gets weirder. You want incest and necrophilia? Okay! By the end it turned into a action flick with fights all over the place, and there was even some type of monster 'thing' supposedly on the loose. And there was even a song in the middle of the movie.Okay, Crazy Lips is nuts. It's that simple. But it's also entertaining. And if you dig any type of weirdness with elements of exploitation, then this should be right up your weird ass alley.

I would have to say the most bizarre movie I've seen to date is Shinya Tsukamoto's "Tetsuo" (1988), but "Crazy Lips" comes in a close second. Writer Hiroshi Takahashi, director Hirohisa Sasaki, and producer Takashige Ichise all have a hand in piling genre upon genre in the making of this uncategorizable film. There's something for everybody here, and no hint as to what direction the movie is headed from one scene to the next, so just sit back and enjoy the ride. The only American-made films I've seen that come even remotely close to this amalgamation of forms are "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" (1984) and "Six-string Samurai" (1998). If you like either of those, or even if you don't, then this movie is worth catching. Rating: 6/10.

I've been a long time Asian cinema fan. I've seen more strange and offbeat foreign films than most can imagine. But nothing...and I mean NOTHING...could have ever prepared me for this. Writing a review for 'Crazy Lips' is difficult, because this kind of movie is practically indescribable. It's the kind of hyperactive weirdness that only the Japanese can make.'Crazy Lips' starts off like a serious horror film...but grows progressively strange as it moves on. Lots of sex, gore, kung-fu and off-key musical numbers are thrown in. It's a twisted film, made by twisted minds for twisted audiences. If you like exploitation, trash cinema or just plain bizarre movies, then you won't find anything better than this little cult gem. It's one of the most fun and shocking movies I've seen in years.
