Emotional, compelling -- a must see, 26 June 2008
10/10

When I sat down to view Crazy! at the Hoboken, NJ film festival I should have asked for a seat belt. Sad, amusing, romantic and full of surprises would describe this first rate production -- and I am not even a fan of country and western music! Anyone with a heart and soul will relate to Bieber's realistic presentation of Hank Garland's powerful life. Yes, I was teary-eyed but also grateful that this story has been brought to the screen.

Crazy! was well-deserving of the first place recognition. I left the tent-theatre feeling fulfilled and enlightened about a period in history that merits our attention. Hats off to the talented actors and the entire production crew.
