Consensus: Crazy Love’s subjects and story are so compelling that they overcome the doc’s dry, talking heads format.

Like far too many documentaries today, this formulaic kitsch-fest rests on the strengths of its subject matter to avoid having to present artful or deep filmmaking.
06/01/07
It’s too easy to feel superior to these two people and their marriage in hell for the sake of some easy (or even uneasy) laughter.
09/22/07
Top CriticThe in-your-face documentary recalls the sensational tabloid story from the 1950s.
01/20/09
In the sense that everyone is interesting once their lives are sufficiently unpacked, Burt and Linda’s story is not boring -- but beyond its tabloid sensationalism, it’s not especially significant either.
06/07/07
[Director] Klores coyly omits key information only to wallop us with it later for a gleeful surprise.
06/14/07
Crazy Love is tabloid journalism at its most base and vulgar, with the same moral bankruptcy as the media outlets that turned this tragedy into grotesque copy in the first place.
07/11/07
The story behind Crazy Love is pretty fascinating. But the storytelling in this documentary isn't always so fascinating.
06/15/07
Crazy Love seems to promise a demented, true-life film noir love story and winds up delivering an above-average A&E documentary.
06/08/07
...like the Scott and Laci Peterson saga set to conga music.
06/08/07
Particularly because many viewers have already seen the TV-news version, almost any other genre would have been even more compelling -- a fictionalized drama, perhaps, or Truman Capote-style narrative non-fiction.
07/05/07
Top CriticKlores never succeeds in making these outrageous turns of events all that surprising and Crazy Love feels like obsession that's been warmed over once too often.
05/31/07
Far too readily tends to play this pathetic story for laughs.
09/22/07
What's missing from this unusual love story is love.
06/01/07
As with all banner-head stories, there comes a point when you tire of being screamed at.
09/22/07
Crazy Love has a tabloid story to kill for, and a basic nonfiction form to snooze over.
05/27/07
You say 'psychotic codependency' like it's a bad thing.
07/11/07
There's plenty of black comedy in their twisted affair, but a more substantial documentary wouldn't leave you smiling.
