Crazy Famous is a tender tale about Joe Marcus, an Every Man for all seasons, whose one burning goal in life is to claim his 15 minutes of fame. Joe's behavior lands him in a mental institution, where he makes fast friends with three patients who are the only ones that can understand his plight.
Gregory Lay strikes the right balance as he channels the gentle confusion of Alan Bate's King of Hearts (1966). To reach his dream, Joe and his new posse decide to capture Osama bin Ladin and nab global fame. Every good caper needs an accomplished leader, according to self-proclaimed spymaster Smith, played by Richard Short. Along for the ride, Dr. Phil and Larry provide laughs and profound wisdom as events quickly spiral into chaos.
Director Paul Jarrett does a good job with Crazy Famous, which at times feels like an extended pilot for an action comedy series. The musical score adds just the right touch of sweet pathos as our heroes discover some fantastical truths, love and courage along the path to glory.
