I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Instant Favorite.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This movie is a classic. Don't care if it didn't win any awards, I love it, plain and simple. It has been a tradition in my house on New Years Eve and has been for at least 15 years to watch "Get Crazy". First saw this on HBO back in '83. From there I bought the VHS tape that I still watch to this day. I wished to God that it would be released on DVD !!!! Has some great B stars of the time and is just a fun movie. Totally making fun of the music business and never taking itself serious. It's the "Scary Movie" or "Airplane" of the concert hall. Takes place in the "Saturn theater" on New Years Eve 1982. The evil Colin Beverly is out to buy the Saturn theater from Max Wolfe so he can tear it down to make way for a huge stadium. Max won't sell so Colin sets out to set off a bomb to go off at midnight. Hilarity ensues as good tries to conquer over bad while the concert goes on. Definitely worth watching if you're in the mood for a movie that makes fun of itself !!!

Yes, this video (DVD? Dream on!) is tough to find, but definitely worth it! I haven't checked Netflix--my source for easy access to some obscure entertainment--but I'm betting you just can't find it for rent these days.I agree with the review, in all its enthusiasm and detail. This really is a time capsule--but unlike traditional capsules, this one doesn't get stale the second--or third, fifth, tenth...-- time you peruse the contents!Today's Lou Reed is way too serious (what did you feed him full of anyway, Laurie Anderson?!?), so this is a great look back on my musical hero when he was still a real person. Love his unresolved meditation on "It's a Deathbed Request."But you're sure to find resolution among the various takes on a favorite blues standard. Arena rock, punk, beyond-punk, blooos--take yer pick. You'll love the interpretations.So--begin your search, and prepare for some great watchin'!

The music selected for this movie is just perfect. Don't expect to be watching a serious movie and you may have to watch it more then once to "get it". I'm very disappointed that it's not a bigger classic, and I hope a sequel is never made (can't stand sequels personally, they always seem to ruin the original). There are drug references but done in a very funny (meant to be stupid) manner. Don't expect Cheech & Chong type drug references, it's not a Cheech & Chong movie. If you made it through you twenties without seeing this you missed out. I've personally rang in quite a few new years with this movie. And now that I got at least one teen it's time to start ring in some more new years with this movie. Would like to share more, but I hate giving clues to movies.

This movie is a great parody! I love it! Being a musician I loved how all the acts play off King Blues. Lee Ving is Piggy and is at his best in this movie. Malcolm Mcdowell plays the part of the Egotistical Rock Star as only he can. Howard Kaylan of Flo and Eddie (AKA the Turtles) plays a great parody of Jerry Garcia. Fabian and Bobby Sherman make great henchmen for bad guy Colin (Ed Begley Jr.) Lou Reed As Folk Singer Auden is eccentric and closes the movie as only he can. Director Allan Arkush captures the world of Rock Concerts perfectly with all the characters you would fine at any event. If you can't tell I love this movie. A must see for any rocker who enjoys a good comedy about the industry. Needs to be on DVD!!
