Like Crazy - drove viewers crazy.


Terrible.  From start to finish, it was like seeing a (long-distance) Facebook relationship through the eyes of those too old to use Facebook, but given terrible scripts to work from as well.

Avid movie goers were walking out of this movie.  Critics were sleeping and texting on their phones.  This movie was about a couple, cheating on each other, getting married, facing immigration problems, and unable to reconcile any aspect of their lives.  The young man in the film makes furniture and engraves the phrase "Like Crazy" on a chair he makes for his fiancee, seriously. Sounds like there could be a story, but there was not.  It was complete garbage. 

The acting and writing was so pathetic.  The camera work was choppy and cut every 15-20 seconds to a new scene where the young couple is continuing the exact same conversation. Made me want to vomit at each ongoing conversation and each camera cut.  We were hoping for an ending, and when that ending did come, we were even more disappointed with it! 

The parents in the film did well in their roles, but nothing else (except the negative feeling left towards the US Immigration policies) was left to desire.  Like Crazy will pull a soft 1 out of 5 Cyclones.
