Dreadfully Boring
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Started off OK but quickly got boring. Couldn't see the point of this film after about 20 minutes. The best thing about it is Lou Reed's performance of Little Sister at the end
This movie is a classic. Don't care if it didn't win any awards, I love it, plain and simple. It has been a tradition in my house on New Years Eve and has been for at least 15 years to watch "Get Crazy". First saw this on HBO back in '83. From there I bought the VHS tape that I still watch to this day. I wished to God that it would be released on DVD !!!! Has some great B stars of the time and is just a fun movie. Totally making fun of the music business and never taking itself serious. It's the "Scary Movie" or "Airplane" of the concert hall. Takes place in the "Saturn theater" on New Years Eve 1982. The evil Colin Beverly is out to buy the Saturn theater from Max Wolfe so he can tear it down to make way for a huge stadium. Max won't sell so Colin sets out to set off a bomb to go off at midnight. Hilarity ensues as good tries to conquer over bad while the concert goes on. Definitely worth watching if you're in the mood for a movie that makes fun of itself !!!
I just finished watching it for the 18th time...I only watch it on New Year's Eve. I first found this movie in 1985 and have watched it EVERY New Years Eve since, except for New Year's 1990 while I was in Saudi Arabia for Desert Shield/Storm.The name of this movie fits perfectly, it IS "CRAZY"! Every time I watch it, I notice something different, especially different characters in the crowd at the concert and other things in the background. Malcolm McDowell is one of my all time favorite actors and he puts on a great show, although he should stick to acting and NOT singing. Lou Reed plays a pretty decent song during the credits, so don't turn off the tape as soon as the credits start to roll! The other music consists of the same song in different forms, blues, metal, and whatever you want to call the version that Malcolm McDowell sings. It's well worth a viewing, preferably on with friends and on New Years Eve!!
"Get Crazy" is one of the best movies around. When watching the movie the viewer should take notice of the actor with the big hair and beard. His name is Stephen Dunn and he actually is one of the hero's of the movie. Without giving too much away, let's just say he helps to get rid of the bomb. He doesn't have a single line in the movie but his presence is unforgettable. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes wild movies. The very beautiful Gail Edwards is also one of the stars of the movie.
