Crazy About Her (2021) User Reviews

Surprising such a low rating

[dave-930-756001 · 8/10 · 2 April 2021]

Sure, it's no Saving Private Ryan or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest but it isn't trying to be.

What it is is a solid romcom that does an effective job of exploring mental health issues and the difficulties of relationships involving people suffering from them. As others have said, you either get it or you don't. Anyone who has struggled with their mental health or has close family or friends who do will 100% "get it"

Good Combination of Romcom and Mental Illness

[Movi3DO · 8/10 · 9 March 2021]

A new Spanish romcom on Netflix. A journalist, Adri, spent a crazy night with Carla, a random girl he met at the bar. Falling in love, he tried to get into the psychiatric home to meet her.

What I loved about the movie was the interaction between Adri and the people he spent in the psychiatric home. The scenes were really sweet, especially the one where he tried to hook up a girl with Tourette's with her crush. This was also where most of the comedy was used. Most of them landed and either made me chuckled or straight up laughing.

Not only the movie was funny, it also had some unexpectedly emotional scenes, especially the one with Adri's roommate in the home. The roommate was an old man with paranoia, and his story was quite sad, but at the end it was heartwarming.

For the romance, the two actors for Adri and Carla had good chemistry, although I wanted a bit more scenes with them together to strengthen the relationship further. Because of this, I wasn't too convinced about how their scene at the end.

The unique element of the movie was combining romcom with mental illness. I felt that the movie did a decent job bringing awareness to certain conditions as well as mental illness as a whole.

The problem with the movie, in addition to the romance, was that it's still a cheesy romcom throughout, and there wasn't any surprises. However, this might not be a problem to many, like me.

Overall, a funny and quite emotional romance with a unique premise. 8/10

The meaning of a "romantic comedy "

[stylianosoteriou · 7/10 · 13 March 2021]

When i saw the trailer i thought that the movie was a comedy! It was more than that! Very good plot and all the characters are well played! One more good Spanish production as we have become accustomed to recently

Good love story

[ombrettelabeauceronne · 7/10 · 23 March 2021]

Good love story on Netflix, greatly directed. Actors are talented too.

Good effort on addressing mental health

[mariapedro-20771 · 6/10 · 1 March 2021]

The premise is good and I love that movies and TV shows are trying to contribute to reduce the stigma around psychiatric/psychological disorders. But, as a whole movie, it's not that great. Particularly when compared with another Netflix recent spanish movie about mental issues, toc toc. I'm willing to watch further similar content though.

A star is born!

[wonderstone_entertainment · 7/10 · 30 August 2021]

All I know is Aixa Villagrán needs an Academy Award for her performance in this heartwarming film.

Going to Extremes to Win the Girl

[iquine · 6/10 · 16 March 2022]

Would you check yourself INTO a psychiatric institution to win over a gal you just met and shared an exciting evening with? Turns out the protagonist did just that. Dude, Adri is hit on by Carla at a hoppin' club and they parade around town doing things that one would only be dared into doing. After that night he tries to track her down from a small bit of info and as a journalist, is able to find out she is a patient at a psychiatric institution. Undeterred by this, he learns he just can't simply casually visit any patient, thus he checks himself in and LATER learns he can't easily checkout when he wants. So in he goes and he tries to reconnect with Carla but she is bipolar so things don't go smoothly. During his time there, he meets and develops relationships with other patients and does try to better their lives which is a path he may need to take to truly win Carla. Watch how this interesting concept plays out, the other lives he'll effect, what will it take for him to get back out and will Carla be able to join him? This was a fun little concept, had good character development, good acting, a bit cliché at times and I never really warmed to either character thus wasn't too drawn in their emotions but it was fairly unique to see how it ended up.

dont waste your time

[neveragain_cv · 3/10 · 1 June 2021]

Bad movie, absurd plot. Dont waste your time ,I rate the movie 3/10.

Crazy in love

[kosmasp · 9/10 · 30 March 2021]

Different than Beyonce meant for sure. But still crazy as can be. Now seeing the main female character, it is not really tough to make her - to decipher her ... issues? That's one way to describe her - but it also makes her fun and exciting. Of course the question is, with all the highs, there are obviously also a lot of lows along the way.

What really makes this movie though is not the crazy couple itself. Or not just to be fair - because one of the most emotional moments (or a couple of them to be truthful) comes from a side character and his daughter. Even without having children of my own - this really strikes home! I do believe that viewers will be touched by that scene .. really putting the heart into all the craziness going on.

A movie that is as heartfelt as it is funny ...

Great movie

[Sharknun1 · 9/10 · 28 February 2021]

It is good from start to the end. Defenrtly worth of time.

A pure genuine love story

[urokhan-78833 · 10/10 · 26 February 2021]

This is my first ever review of a romantic movie. I have watched tons of movies so this makes me qualified to write a review about a master art romantic movie. This movie is very genuine and the acting done by all actors is just amazing specially the lead female actress and lead male actor. Its a tear of joy and the same time of grief the problems these people face the agony of not being normal the feeling to return to normal world and be normal people and the love between audri and carla its so authentic. Please watch this movie it should be selected for an oscar.

Surprisingly brilliant

[dskywalker0 · 9/10 · 16 August 2021]

This is the first film I've ever watched that didn't have a wrong take on mental health. I think it's a very sensitive topic and it deserves the respect it's shown by the portrayal of each character, both on how they're written and performed. I honestly think everyone should watch films like this one, maybe they'd be more sensitive to people who deal with these issues IRL. Brilliant.

Wow!

[oshiyoyeolusegun-71607 · 10/10 · 15 March 2021]

At first I was not into the movie quickly but later i got in. All I can say is just WOW. Excellent script writing, excellent acting & casting.

I love Carla most just she executed the character so well in this movie. I could keep writing on & on but just see this movie and try to watch it late night before bedtime.

The after effect is really amazing! I'm all smiles going to bed tonight...

Good Job!

We all need love!

[yasin-99896 · 9/10 · 8 March 2021]

A pleasant comedy that conveys a beautiful and profound message. The message refers to people who suffer from mental disorders, people who need our love and understanding in order to be able to accept themselves. If the dialogues had been a little more fun, I would have given it a grade of 10.

A Crazy Good Love Story

[packmanproductions · 9/10 · 13 March 2021]

When a one-night stand turns into much more sometimes we find out the extremes a person will go for love. Adrian meets Carla in a bar but when he finds out she resides at a psychiatric hospital he pretends to be a patient to be with her. This story reminds us that we can't just love mental illness away. A heartfelt look at people who live behind the gates where they can be themselves when living in the so-called "normal" world is impossible. You'll be laughing through tears in this excellent Spanish romantic comedy.

[Mangeles-soriano · 9/10 · 10 September 2021]

Uplifting, touching and funny, what else would you like from a movie. Great acting and soundtrack.

Just if you have mental disorders

[orzeheavenandhell · 9/10 · 16 August 2021]

Please, don't missrate the movie just because it seem cringy or cliché. You will understand.

Fun

[naomijacquin · 8/10 · 11 March 2021]

It's a nice movie to watch. Not a masterpiece but surely entertaining enough to watch until the end

Insanely Beautiful

[jmsf-07261 · 10/10 · 9 April 2022]

I've been seeing a lot of movies, but this one os special for sure. The plot is incredible for the type of movie, and it can surprise you in a way that you wouldn't expect at all. By far, the best material of romantic movies in the last couple of years. Very, very good! Me ha encantado mucho!

So Much Fun.............

[owenpont-70803 · 9/10 · 12 November 2022]

Crazy About Her is simply wonderful. These are normally not the films that I watch. Normally I find them quite cheesy and irritating. But the plot actually interested me enough to check it out. And I am so glad I did. The main characters actually end up becoming likeable people at the end which is always great. But I thought the best thing about this film was its messaging, the messaging felt so sincere and really made the film what it was. Of course there are plenty of comedy, likeable characters and an investing plot and it ends well. Overall this is a must watch for people who love this genera of film. And I think its just a must watch in general.
