Crazy People (1990)
6/10
Boxy, but good.....

Warning: Spoilers
Emory works in advertising, and is beginning to crack-up.

His latest idea is honesty which doesn't go down too well with the boss, so Emory is sent to a psychiatric hospital to 'recover'.

Meanwhile, back at the office, Emory's work is accidentally sent to the printers.

His ads are a huge success. But now Emory has fallen for Kathy (another patient) and so doesn't want to leave.....

This is one of those simple movies, that disappeared without a trace, but is funny and endearing, thanks to the characters and some of the ads on display.

The story is simple, it's good versus bad, the rich versus the insane, and just when you think they are all on a par, the rich people take all the credit and leave the insane, well, sane.

But then it all goes well at the end. Films like this are ten a penny, but thanks to Moore and the writers, this film is very witty, occasionally verging on silly with the use of profanity (there was really no need for it).

The only problem with this, and it is a big problem, the relationship with him and Hannah is boring and pointless, and slows the whole film down.

But if you want a laugh at genius ads, and random lines, you can do a lot worse.

Plus J.T Walsh is brilliant.
