Get Crazy (1983)

Memorable, crazy movie

Fantastic!

Absolutely the worst movie.

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.

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.

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!!

The funniest and most original rock comedy ever! I first saw this film as a 14 or 15 year old and have seen it many times. Its music is fabulous with piggys version of hoochie coochie man a stand out. it is very rare to get the right mix of comedy/music in a film and i believe that they did this superbly with spinal tap a not to close second.And although i have not seen it for many years it still holds a very special place in my movie memory.

Malcolm MacDowell is an incredible actor with cohones of steel. Just seeing him take the risk of playing an aging hard-rocker and actually singing is just unbelievable. Playing off Daniel Stern with the line from Blue Thunder "Catch you later" with the forefinger pointed like a gun was just too cool.Electric Larry was too much like people I went to high school with. I died watching this film.
