Crazy People Audience Reviews

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
zona-kelley I would just like to know where to buy this movie, without having to purchase it online. I have looked everywhere for this movie to purchase but a lot of people have never heard of it. They don't know what they are missing!! This is a keeper! I bet I come up with and use lines from this movie at least once or twice a week. The Hello song is one of my favorite ones. Working for a telephone answering service fits right in with the Hello song! I ask a lot of people about this movie and they look at me as if I'm crazy! They say they have never seen, let alone heard of it and think I need to be committed! I would love to buy this movie, I just don't have the luxury of purchasing things online. If anyone can help me, please advise. I would be most grateful!
leplatypus This film analyzes the creative impulse for advertising & finds it in a asylum...Don't worry: it is not a psychological study but a comedy. The only problem is that I don't laugh often: maybe with the taglines of the ads, the performance of David "Hello" Paymer...How much the leading actor (Dudley Moore), the endless casting of J.T. Walsh as a bad guy, or a bad script (I didn't see much insanity from the patients) have to do with my dozing, it's hard to tell.In conclusion, an average movie where the only flavors are its 80's spirit in America and Hannah in a romantic character.
Guy Chapman This is not the most intellectually stimulating film ever made. Nor is it the most believable plot - but it is funny, whimsical and charming, and occasionally surreal. If you want a film to brighten up your life, this fits the bill just nicely. The supporting cast are also very engaging, being far more than just a backdrop to Moore and Hannah. I like it a lot.
massadvj "Crazy People" is about an advertising executive who goes nuts and starts writing "honest" television commercials, as opposed to the puffery and outright lies we have come to know and expect. Naturally, they lock him up. But, lo and behold, the honest approach actually works, so the agency enlists the help of the entire population of the mental hospital to write ads.The ads themselves are hilarious, as are some of the scenes. There is one very funny scene in which calloused and savvy advertising execs try to write honest ads, but find they are too jaded.The film could have done without a subplot involving a romance between Dudley Moore and Daryl Hannah. Other than that, it is definitely worth your time.***
