Crazy Moon

That´s what the cover said, well i can agree to that. I always liked Kiefer Sutherland and his performance is not bad in this one either. So whats this move all about. Brooks (Kiefer Sutherland) is a eccentric rich kid with a foundness for big band music. He is dominated by his older brother Clevland (Peter Spence) that has a foundness for drugs and party. One day Brooks meets Annie, a deaf girl and they develop a special friendship and new understandings.

Well a good drama/love story depends on there charachters very much, and there are some flaws, for a start his brother played by Peter Spence is badly played, i guess its partly the directors fault. The movie has much of this 80´s style in it, but not all bad. I guess if the brother was played by somebody else and not totaly styled, this move could have been more timeless. As it is now, i get irritated everytime i see the guy. Well the movie is still good, i found it to be a very nice down to earth love story about to different types of induviduals, it has a nice pace and nice big band music (and a real crappy 80´s pop band ^^) and Kiefer is putting up a very nice preformance.

If you like to see a different down to earth 80´s love story, this is the movie.

This movie has everything a person could want in entertainment-a combination of comedy and a touching love story,the background music of guy lombardo and kenny gardiner is just great,sutherland gives a good account as a shy oddball but what makes this film memorable is the fine performance of the deaf girl played by vanessa vaughan and who could forget her lovely smile,a fine canadian production!

Crazy Moon is a love story about an introverted shy young man named Brookes played by Peter Sutherland who Meets a deaf girl named Anne played by Vanessa Vaughan. Brookes's brother Cleveland played by Peter Spence is a real loser who gets Brookes in trouble and has problems of his own. It was during one of Cleveland's pranks that Brookes meets Anne, The two brothers emotional problems stem from the fact that their Mother left them when they were at an early age.

The point of the movie is the way that the two young lovers Vanessa and Brookes who are from different backgrounds with their own emotional problems, help each other overcome their individual difficulties.

The film takes place in Montreal, and most of the scenes leave no doubt where it was filmed. There is so much music in the film; one could almost call it a musical. The music of the great big bands of the past adds to the film.

The lead actors Sutherland and especially Vaughan with the excellent direction of Allan Eastman make for a good sensitive love story.

One of my favourite Sutherland movies - he and Vannessa Vaughan work fantastically together, and for all their quirks and oddities, the plot and the characters are quite unlike those of the boring romance films around today.

It's slightly old-fashioned in its sweetness and sentimentality, and Sutherland's character certainly isn't your average romantic lead. A very odd character, but an overwhelmingly sweet one - I fell in love him over the course of the movie!

I strongly recommend this film, particularly if you're a fan of Kiefer Sutherland in his younger days - I was utterly captivated, and couldn't get the soundtrack music out of my head for days.

This movie is about a young man dealing with his overbearing father, manipulative younger brother, and overbearing stepmother all while trying to be his own person. He has a very unique personality, but is not retarded (someone made that comment in an earlier review). This movie is definitely worth seeing and will change your view on Kieffer Sutherland as an actor.
