Crazy/Beautiful movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: A teen romance whose attraction is in the stars. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: This synopsis still may bring to mind a TV movie, yet Crazy/Beautiful doesn't play like one. The reason is simple: It makes you believe in what's going on. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Standard-issue romantic melodrama pitched specifically to teen-agers. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Even in its truncated form, Crazy/Beautiful is thoughtful and sincere but never stuffy. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: The teen film Crazy/beautiful flirts with the idea of being brutally honest but then blushes and shies away. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The movie is so predictable, it's not surprising that the script is credited to first-timers Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, and the direction to John Stockwell, a former acting peer to Tom Cruise. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: It could, if the filmmakers had trusted themselves and the actors a bit more, have lived up to its title. Read more
Pam Sitt, Seattle Times: Sure, the Romeo-and-Juliet thing has been done before, but director John Stockwell pulls it off with his two promising leads. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: For its genre, Crazy/Beautiful sometimes kicks. It's full of emotional ups and downs, pouts and pure joy, fun at the beach and parental hell. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: A rare teen film that spends less time pandering to wish-fulfilling fantasies than baring honest interpersonal realities. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: It seems unbelievable -- crazy, even -- to use the word 'integrity' in a review of a teen-oriented movie. But this one has it. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Dunst, in her finest performance yet, has now transcended her fellow teen stars. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Painting stock situations in a distinctive hue, this is the exceptional film that transcends its own triteness. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Not just a movie about adolescents, it's an adolescent movie-with all the desperate passion and misty conclusions you might expect. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A hybrid of Mad Love and Save the Last Dance, Crazy/Beautiful boasts strong performances underutilized by a banal storyline that manipulates familiar characters into following a well-trodden, predictable path from point A to point B. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: An unusually observant film about adolescence. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Crazy/Beautiful has its flaws, but it's elementally entertaining, and believable enough to transport us completely into its world for an hour and a half. Read more
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle: Even when the movie is bad -- which it is in its abrupt, mismanaged, final-act attempt to cram in moments of forgiveness and clarity -- it's addictively so. Read more
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today: While its punch may no longer be spiked, crazy/beautiful retains much of its impact thanks to a strong cast. Read more
Amy Taubin, Village Voice: As overproduced as a Super Bowl soft-drink commercial, so much so that even its potentially insightful moments seem like movie fakery. Read more
Nicole Arthur, Washington Post: Conflict ensues, but surprises do not; there's never any reason to doubt that its resolution is any more than a tearful heart-to-heart talk away. Read more
