Malcolm McDowell talks to his penis, Lee Ving destroys "Hoochie Coochie Man" and Lou Reed rides around in a cab singing to himself. It's damn near perfection, in other words.

You'd think a super personal essay-slash-concert film centered around the Fillmore East era mixed with producer-mandated Airplane!-style zaniness would make for uneasy viewing, but au contraire. Only available for home viewing on VHS until recently, a 4:3 letterboxed version has recently turned up on Amazon Instant Video. This is a joyous cinematic experience.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A classic. So many good things, so much fun. Malcolm McDowell as Mick Jagger. Lou Reed as Dylan. Lee Ving being Lee Ving. Funny, zany, awesome.

This wild-ass concert movie of sorts is all over the place. Blues, pop, rock, punk, hippie music, drug-dealing magic robots, walking joints, talking cocks, hallucinations, and all sorts of other nonsense all kinda fly out of the screen and hit you in the face. And it turns out to be really funny.

I had never heard of this one before, but thanks to the excellent Bad Movie Fiends Podcast (BMFCast), I now have a new favorite crazy ass drug movie. Woo hoo!

sometimes you need to watch a movie that should have never been made. Some sort of batshit crazy cinematic abortion that no one in their right mind would produce and a movie that is doomed to play at midnight screenings and only weirdo assholes like myself take the time to watch some 30 odd years later.

And that's what makes this movie great. It's a weird mix of blues, punk, drugs, and bad comedy. If that's the kind of cinematic salad you like then this is the movie for you.

So if you're watching this by yourself you might get about 20 minutes into it and wonder "What the shit?" and find something else to do. That's fair. But, get a room full of friends together and suddenly all the film's gags, both good and bad, become a wonder to behold. GET CRAZY goes all out with the jokes, never once asking "Is this lame? Should we not do this?" Nope, every idea anyone in the production had is up there on screen.

It may be stupid, it may be random, it may be hodgepodge, but you know what? It made me laugh, which was really the only goal it had in the first place.

Could easily be the best cast for a movie of all time.
