Critic Reviews for Crazy Mama
All Critics (8) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
If Demme's career wasn't exactly helped by this somewhat endearing mess, he had much greener pastures ahead.
Pure exhilaration
Opening nine months after the R-rated 'Big Bad Mama,' the PG 'Crazy Mama' substituted comedy for sex and a 1950s Mad magazine/rock-and-roll vibe for 1930s rusticity.
... relies more on momentum and personality than narrative but that's just fine for this misfit crime spree road comedy.
The film wonderfully tears down the conventions of '50s womanhood, while providing loads of quirky fun along the way.
Audience Reviews for Crazy Mama
This movie has a lot of action, mostly gun fights and car chases, but the acting is average and the story is like Big Bad Mama, just with more characters. I was expecting a dark comedy, as the summary says, but there are very few laughs, and it's not very dark either. It's not a horrendous movie, though, it just needed more work.
