Crazy Famous

This movie is wild and relatable because it directly pokes fun at our modern-day culture's obsession with being famous. The lead character, Bob, is a lovable, wide-eyed average Joe who will do almost ANYTHING to be famous. His antics land him in a mental institution where he meets a patient who thinks he's James Bond. The Bond guy, who is constantly high on psychiatric drugs, tells Bob if he helps him escape, he can make him famous by capturing Osama Bin Laden, who of course, is already dead. With the help of 2 other patients (a Dr. Phil wannabe and a angry compulsive eater), they all successfully escape. Then the film surprises - - because it's not only funny (the scene where they visit a gun store is classic comedy), but it also turns heart-warming. The film is not perfect and you have to buy into the premise that there's a huge government cover-up. And the film is too short. But in spite of being low budget with an unknown cast (I did recognize the "Office Space" guy), it has good acting and an interesting story. This alone makes Crazy Famous a film definitely worth watching.

I think audiences will be able to see themselves or someone they know in this movie. This film has a great premise that takes a few jabs at all the people in our society who will do anything to be in the spotlight. The film shows a few limitations of being on a tight budget, but overall, it looks good, the acting is good, and the lead characters are all interesting. It's really two stories in one - it starts out as a social commentary and then morphs into an escape/action flick. The film is a little bizarre and unpredictable - but that's a good thing as it kept my attention from start to finish. I can't say that for a lot of movies I see nowadays.

The movie is a comedic twist on the modern day obsession with instant fame. Crazy Famous is a unique take with a "literally" crazy band of strangers that join together to help deliver one member's lifetime need for some of the spotlight. As they carry out their master plan, there are plenty of laughs and some even learn the lesson of what's really important. **Spoiler Alert** I'll never be able to watch Dr. Phil again without thinking of Crazy Famous! A fun time, as movies should be. Highly Recommend It!

This was a really an enjoyable movie with a great premise... an average guy (Bob) obsessed with being famous. I think a lot of people can relate. The only difference is Bob humorously tries everything and anything to be famous without success - - his last attempt gets him committed to a mental hospital. About ready to give up on his lifelong dream, he meets other patients - - one who believes he's a British secret agent (Smith) who claims that Bin Laden is still alive and hiding in upstate New York. Funny stuff watching Bob and a group of mental patients escape the hospital in a wild journey that is surprisingly heartwarming in an effort to help Bob find fame. Story was interesting, acting was excellent, and the production value for an indie film rivals any movie you would see in a theater. The movie is short in duration, but it's a fun time nonetheless.

Bad writing, bad editing, bad acting and little racist. This movie was utter crap all the way through. The cringeworthy dramatic pauses when the actors were delivering lines was almost unbearable. The production and post production mistakes were too many to count. It was not funny because they tried too hard to be funny. Just bad. Do not waste your time.
