...who thought it was a good idea to set the entire movie inside a dance club?...

Stark Raving Mad is a great comedy and one of the better recent heist flicks; more importantly, it's one of the best direct-to-video movies I've seen lately.

View All

Endless fast cuts complete with whooshy sound effects, thumping techno bass lines, ugly on-screen graphics, garish colour filters, and *cringe* a hero who talks directly to camera (Michael Caine is STILL the only actor to EVER get away with that...) Every tacky, irritating and superficial MTV affectation is on display

Just insane...crazy and insane in so many ways that the heist seemed to be the best part of the whole movie! Not worth my time reviewing like it wasn't worth my time watching...period. Oh...the stars? One for Lou Diamond Phillips...and one for Seann William Scott...both kept me fairly interested throughout the whole flick!
