Watch Crazy People For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

"Crazy People" takes an amusing look at the Advertising Industry. How I wish the hilarious commercials and billboards in this film were real! The basic premise of this film is that an advertising executive, Emery (played by Dudley Moore), decides that he wants to be honest and stop lying to the public. He is sent to a mental hospital, and thought to have had a nervous breakdown, when he presents his newest brainstorms to his boss. In the meantime, his ads get printed in error, which are an overnight sensation. The CEO of the advertisement company decides that Emery is an advertising genius and the fun begins, as Emery and his fellow mental patients write the most hilarious commercials you can imagine. There are some silly parts to this film, but you will not be able to stop laughing at the ads written by the crazy people. Darryl Hannah also stars in this film. In addition, there is a great character in this film that is a particular favorite of mine. I refer to him as the "Hello" man. He is one of the mental patients who writes commercials. He resembles Larry of the Three Stooges and his favorite word is "Hello". I won't spoil it for you, but keep your eye on him, he is a riot. As the credits are rolling at the end of this film, you will see words to the "Hello Song" (sung by the "Hello" man) with bouncing ball on the words, so you can sing along. Very funny! For anyone who is in the marketing or advertising business, it's hysterical - the fact that mental asylum residents can produce more effective ads than most of the art directors at the agency is a riot. This movie is full of fun, and will have you remembering a few clever lines. I enjoyed this movie for its advertisements which show the power of truth. The script gives Moore's supporting cast some definite pathologies, but doesn't make them pitiable or outright laughable. Even if this light film falls out of your head, the sympathy given the "crazy people" will stick with you about as long as the catchy ideas they dream up.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

I picked up this movie some years ago and watched it twice, just to get all of the gags. At 1130PM I called my friends over to watch, and again laughed and laughed. The ads are a great part of the show, but the characters are (almost) representative of the ad biz. Having dealt with ad folks in my career, I often thought many of them either belonged in a "home" or had just been released from one. How I wish we could see some of that "truth in advertising" these days, especially in the political campaigns. It is by far one of my favourite movies, one that I replay at least once yearly. Agree with others it was Moore's funniest and finest performance.

My brother and I spotted this when we were renting a movie in one of those big discount bins of random movies. We sometimes enjoy watching stupid movies just for the hell of it and thought thats what it was going to turn out to be. We were pleasantly surprised with about the first half of the movie. Take out the throughly unnecessary love story and this movie could be an hour shorter and would probably get a much higher rating. Now I sometimes watch it, fast forwarding through the tedious bits. I would recommend it, but I don't know that I would pay more than a coupla bucks for the pleasure of watching it. It's the kind of movie that you get excited about showing friends, and glow with pride at finding such a great movie for a good part of but then sit around uncomfortably for stretches of it because you know they are inexcusably boring.

This is just one of those movies that you can just enjoy. A very pleasing movie with a ton of memorable lines. If only advertising was really like this. See "The Freak", this movie will not only scare you, it will f**k you up for life! A classic.
