"Movie Crazy" is a loosely strung together succession of gags, some of which are funny and cleverly constructed. There is not much plot, and what little there is is pretty stupid (we are supposed to buy that Harold Lloyd does not recognize Constance Cummings in a dark wig and tanned makeup (I'm not sure if her "movie" role is meant to be Mexican or Spanish, or if Hollywood could tell the difference at that time)). The film lacks purpose or novelty, but it is interesting to observe how much Lloyd's voice and mannerisms resemble.... Woody Allen! And given that Woody (obviously) came much later than Harold, it is logical to assume that Lloyd was among his movie influences. **1/2 out of 4.
