To me, this movie is perfection.

Best movie ever!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Tim Allen was at the top of his game when he made 'The Santa Clause' back in 1994. Sadly 16 years later his last film to date as a leading man is poor.The idea behind the film is good and you certainly can't say that the cast isn't a good one, it's just that the film plods along as a snails pace and really isn't that funny. It's almost like Tim is trying to tick all the boxes to make a hit film and yet the magic spark isn't there.I applaud him for trying his hand at directing, but the fact that half the other actors in the film appeared with him in other more successful films only gives a sense that he was calling in favours.Even the DVD extras are a bit self congratulatory when you consider that Allen's company 'Boxing Cat' comes up right at the start.I like Tim Allen, I like his work. This just wasn't a good example of it.

Well, sadly I was lured to see this movie. Brazilian's synopsis stated it as a movie which the main character would go insane after leaving prison, since life outside is very hard as well-- not that much anyways. That plot would be much more interesting and related to my job-- I work with a criminal judge. However, the story didn't happen as I thought it would. Even thought the main character has some problems outside jail, I believed he would have so strong problems that he would wish to go back there. Tim Allen is a medium actor, we don't see a differential in his acting when comparing to other mainstream actors. The plot isn't contrived and has some creativity, but in the ends appeals to the old Hollywood cliché-- which makes the movie becomes very corny. All in all, some fun scenes aren't enough to make this movie a good one. Pass it.

Crazy On The Outside has been unfairly bashed a lot of the time by critics and movie-goers alike. I on the other hand found it had a lot of entertainment value in it, and for Tim Allen's first major directing job|As far as I know anyway| he did a pretty stand-up job. I liked a lot of the nutty relationships Tim had with his family, but my favorite had to be with his sister Viki|Weaver|. It was caring, yet chaotic and distrustful. I felt the humor it had served the movie well, and Allen was likable and charismatic enough to carry the movie, though it was kind of disappointing with Ray Liotta's lack of screen-time. For my knowledge this movie was barely released in theaters, and wasn't received very well by any movie fans. I really don't see why not either. Sure you can tell Allen is a little green when it comes to directing, but the message was good, and I thought it had a lot of nice laughs to it as well.Performances. Tim Allen isn't anything outstanding, but he's efficiently funny and carries the movie well enough. I've always liked Tim Allen. Sigourney Weaver is excellent as Vicki the mysterious, lying, yet caring sister. She often stole many of the scenes for my liking. Ray Liotta is effective in his slimy, yet hilarious role. Jeanne Tripplehorn is solid if a little over-emotional for my liking. She had decent chemistry with Allen. J.K. Simmons and Kelsey Grammar are solid in their small roles. Kenton Duty is OK but rather annoying as the kid.Bottom line. As I said, I don't see what there is to hate about this movie. It's likable, amusing and even at times, laugh out loud funny. I give it a solid recommendation, give it a chance.7/10

I thought this was going to be more of a laugh your ass off comedies, but that was not to be.Now, I am not saying the movie is bad, and it does have its moments with good comedy. But "Crazy on the Outside" is more of a warm story movie. There is something heartfelt to the story. And the build up and turns in the story are nice, especially the way the story progresses around the lies.The acting in the movie was really good, on everyone's part. And good to see marvelous performances from Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Ray Liotta, as usual. Actually nice to see Allen and Liotta back in a movie together. And with only supporting roles, Weaver and Liotta does one heck of a job with their roles.If you are expecting an all-out laugh your ass off comedy, this is not the movie to pick. But I think people should watch this movie at least once, because it is quite nice.
