Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sorry, this movie sucks

Beautiful, moving film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Boring and overwrought. A documentary would have been more interesting

I'm going to take a lot of heat for this review but............The sets and acting were superb. The script was good. There was just enough -not too much, not too little- music and it sounded awesome. The story dragged in spots and some of the scenes between Hank and Evelyn (there were many) were overly long and repetitive, i.e., we've already been told the relationship is falling apart.Here's where I get into trouble: There just was not enough dynamic aspects, events, etc., in Hank Garland's life to make as effective a story as; e.g., Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Jim Morrison, Muddy Waters, John Lennon, etc. I know, I know....why should Hank suffer because he was a better guy than the listed group? It's to his credit that the movie didn't grovel in low-life and was not quite as tragic as; e.g., Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Sid Vicious, Patsy Cline, etc. But neither does it make for riveting entertainment.I'm reviewer #18. CRAZY scored several "10"'s and while I appreciate and respect those reviews I'm wondering where those guys make room for really highbrow stuff. I'm a guitar player/lover and would have enjoyed CRAZY even it wasn't half as good as it was. But I couldn't get into Hank's character as he was just the same well intentioned but excitable guy throughout. The sub-plot (sub-relationships?) between Hank and brother, friends and business partners didn't really have function - they were just THERE. The only thing that truly stirred me was my anger at Evelyn for screwing around with Hank's arch enemy! But any viewer could have seen from the beginning of the relationship that it was doomed and the whole last third of the movie was just flat (if true too).As far as music industry biopics, if you want insight into the music industry watch CADILLAC RECORDS or GRACE OF MY HEART. If you want rags to riches and tragedy watch THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY, LA BAMBA or SID & NANCY. If you want character development watch RAY or I WALK THE LINE. If you want capture and spirit of the era watch THE DOORS or ALMOST FAMOUS. If you prefer all of the above in a Nashville setting watch COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER or SWEET DREAMS. There were many aspects of CRAZY that were better than many aspects of the above films. But CRAZY doesn't stack up as whole as do most of such.PS / When is some contemporary filmmaker going to do justice to Hank Williams!?

I recently saw Crazy at the Hoboken Film Festival and was blown away by every aspect of the movie. Not knowing anything about the life of Hank Garland I was captivated from the opening scene to the very end. The movie is extremely well written and well cast. The actors have their characters down pat and give very believable performances, especially Waylon Payne as Hank. Director Rick Bieber's technique of filling the screen with his characters' faces completely draws you in, and Ali Larter has never looked more beautiful. I can't wait to see it on a big theatrical screen. If you like music of any kind you'll find this film fascinating.

"Crazy" held great appeal for me in that it was believable, cast well, had good content and stellar acting. I particularly enjoyed the opening scene, where and how it took the viewers and felt it was an easy movie to follow. I never got lost and or lose interest which happens with today's movies far too often. I was riveted to the screen from beginning to end. I loved the music (all of it), the authenticity of the sound, costumes, sets, colors, cars, instruments - for me, it all worked. I felt as though I was taken on a journey through the characters lives and could empathize with each and every one. I ran the gamut of emotions from joy, pain, frustration, hope, disappointment and ultimately wonder. The music was magnificent, great score. The actors morphed into their characters and were totally believable. I actually lost all track of time and was surprised and disappointed when the movie ended - I wanted more. Not being a huge fan of country music, yet loving music, I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it and now listen to the CD frequently, particularly the title song "Crazy" sung by Stacy Earl. I enjoyed the format of the movie and though it was dark, it had other elements that allowed me to forgive the grim ending. As a movie goer, we all want happy endings but realize in real life, and this was real life, that isn't always the case. On the contrary, this was and seems to be typical of celebrity. I'm wondering if there's yet more story to be told about these people. It seemed to me there could be more content about their personal lives that could be revealed without the movie being overworked or overdone. What happened to the characters later on? Who was with whom, who lived, who died, how did they cope? Feeling this way makes me want more and that was what I was experiencing after viewing it. I wanted more. The best compliment I can give any film, concert, play, etc., is to leave wanting more and I rate this movie a 10.
