Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

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.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

d_m_s 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

videorama-759-859391 You haven't seen an outlandish movie like this in a long time. Or more correctly, you haven't seen a movie like Get Crazy, ever and you never will again. It's a unique, one of a kind, smart satire, set on New Years, 1983. I know exactly where I was that night, but it wasn't really memorable, yet this movie will be, once you've seen it. It's set in the Saturn Theatre, where the biggest rock concert ever, is under way. The enterprising owner Max Wolfe, (a great Alan Arkush, in a performance, unlike his others) is propositioned by a greedy developer, Colin Beverly, (a fantastic Ed Begley Jnr, hamming it up-nearly every actors fantastic in this) and his goons (who act as a Thesaurus to Beverly's remarks) to sell his theatre to make way for a bigger, more stylized and modernized one. Chili dog, eating Max, unobliging, and defiant, finds at the end of the night, a bomb has been planted in the theatre, set to explode at of course, Midnight. But before that we meet an array of the most craziest rockers every assembled, though you can't top idolized and aging punk rocker, Reggie W..ker, a real well you know, wonderfully played by Malcolm Mcdowell in one of his best ever performances, the last of the three best, all just mentioned, although Miles Chaplin good too, runs forth as Max's parasitic nephew. The pleasant performances of Stern and his new woman, provide a nice romantic element to the film. The crazy s..t, and rib poking humor is so original and consistently funny in this movie, and you just gotta meet, Bob Dylan lookalike rocker Audine, played brilliantly by too a famous rocker. Even Fabian gets in on this, adding to his acting resume, plus rocker Lee Ving, plays an uncaged and feral drummer and ornament to a rebel girl's band, who likes to headbutt walls, but also give strange signatures. And you can't leave without meeting, druggie robot, electric Larry, who lights up like a Christmas tree with his big case of colored goodies. The send up Blues character's scenes are classic. There's just so much original and funny s..t in this off the wall 80's flick one, as if a movie buff, this is one to put on that bucket list. That granted, your New Years will never be as wild as this one, or may'be some of you, wish it could be. I did think Chaplin kicking that poodle, though was in bad taste, although it did bounce back, barking on cue again.

preppy-3 This takes place at a theatre in California that's having a huge New Years Eve party to welcome in 1984. However someone is trying to sabotage the club and destroy it. The owner has to find out who and deal with the performers showing up.This was a big bomb in 1983. It's a small low-budget movie and it was released during the Christmas season. That's the worst time to release a small movie and it disappeared quick. I discovered it on cable a year later and LOVED it. The jokes come flying quick and furious and all the actors play their roles with relish. Some of the jokes don't work but most do. Especially good is Malcolm McDowell who does a vicious (but hilarious) parody of Mick Jagger. This remains a largely unknown movie which is a shame. If you get a chance see it! A 10 all the way.

ksveaj Yes, this video (DVD? Dream on!) is tough to find, but definitely worth it! I haven't checked Netflix--my source for easy access to some obscure entertainment--but I'm betting you just can't find it for rent these days.I agree with the review, in all its enthusiasm and detail. This really is a time capsule--but unlike traditional capsules, this one doesn't get stale the second--or third, fifth, tenth...-- time you peruse the contents!Today's Lou Reed is way too serious (what did you feed him full of anyway, Laurie Anderson?!?), so this is a great look back on my musical hero when he was still a real person. Love his unresolved meditation on "It's a Deathbed Request."But you're sure to find resolution among the various takes on a favorite blues standard. Arena rock, punk, beyond-punk, blooos--take yer pick. You'll love the interpretations.So--begin your search, and prepare for some great watchin'!
