Kleine Lügen auf Bewährung

Yes...it was a comedy..sort of. It was also suppose to be entertaining as well...which is barely was. The characters had no depth..you could tell these people were acting..and that the script wasn't something worth bringing to the big screen much less as a bargain rental from a Red Box. The movie offered major stars struggling through as if they never bothered to learn their lines...or simply did not care to. I get that Tim Allen obviously is a major player in Hollywood...and seeing how his other films have been HUGE successes...this one falls flat. No one could possibly believe this character had committed ANY crimes at all..no matter how minor. Even the "bad guys" seemed weak. Ray Liotta has made his mark in films being a bad ass...here he seemed about as dangerous as a kitten. I hope if Mr. Allen and company decides to do another film...they find a storyline with more depth to it...Please.

I thought this was going to be more of a laugh your ass off comedies, but that was not to be.

Now, I am not saying the movie is bad, and it does have its moments with good comedy. But "Crazy on the Outside" is more of a warm story movie. There is something heartfelt to the story. And the build up and turns in the story are nice, especially the way the story progresses around the lies.

The acting in the movie was really good, on everyone's part. And good to see marvelous performances from Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Ray Liotta, as usual. Actually nice to see Allen and Liotta back in a movie together. And with only supporting roles, Weaver and Liotta does one heck of a job with their roles.

If you are expecting an all-out laugh your ass off comedy, this is not the movie to pick. But I think people should watch this movie at least once, because it is quite nice.

Such a fun, nice movie. Tim Allen is a classic, just like Robin Williams, and this film gave me cozy 1990s comedy vibes. I loved it, and his sister played by the sexy Sigourney Weaver is so perfect in the role, that I came away in love with her! I think I'm gonna watch more Sigourney now. What a woman! And what a perfect sister. Great movie! And it offered me some confirmation about a project I'm working on too. Arrrr, matey!

I've had actually quite negative initial approach to this movie, regardless Sigourney Weaver's involvement who is one of my favourite actresses. That was mainly caused by many extremely negative reviews. Crazy on the outside is an another example of underrated movie, totally crushed by the critics. I have really enjoyed that movie. It's a debut of Tim Allen (Galaxy Quest, Toy Story) as a director. He also plays a main role, a guy called Tommy, who has just left the prison and wants to start a new life, far from his criminal past. The story shows that it won't be very easy for him. He is fully supported by his crazy sister, played by Sigourney Weaver (who teams up with Allen again, after brilliant performance in Galaxy Quest, 1999). And actually Sigourney, who isn't the main character in the movie, is one of the best, if not the best elements of Crazy on the outside. Of course story isn't very innovative, dramatic conflicts are obvious, but this movie is a great fun and provide solid dose of humour. It's really worth of your time.

For all the bad reviews it tells a relistic story of a man who got out of prison and faces the world.. and its a daunting task.. I think for a first director .Tim did well.. I think all his co stars played their parts well I don't know why everyone cant just enjoy it as a movie???
