CRAZY
BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELL
DECEMBER 29, 2010
Stemming from the real-life story of musician Hank Garland, “Crazy” depicts the way the man surfaced into the public eye, stole hearts, and became the legend that he was. Coming off as a watered-down version of “Walk The Line,” the body of acting cannot measure up to the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix.
The performance of Ali Larter continues to display her immeasurable beauty and grit. Still, with the inclusion of a lucid sex scene, the film does not warrant an award-winning stature and remains low-brow. Perfect for an afternoon film and nothing more, “Crazy” becomes little more than a made-for-television popcorn flick.
