      Audience Member [font=Verdana]Bobbie Lee (Bruce Dern) is turning 40 and cannot take the pressure of being married to sex-loving Sue Ann (Ann-Margret), or that his college age son is dropping out, or the pressure put upon him at his job. So Bobbie Lee decides buy a new sports car and have an affair to get away from all this pressure. Bobbie Lee, feeling rejected and abandon has an affair of her own. At the end they finally decide to talk and jump into their hot tub fully clothed and make up. Credits roll. The problem, or should I say one of the problems, is that it is hard to feel sorry for Bobbie Lee since, looking at the home they live in, he obviously is making a good living and has a wife who loves him and whose only fault seems to be is that she likes to have sex with him. Poor Bobbie Lee. The script tries to make a point about middle age but it just comes off as dull and in the end nothing much happens. The big question is how this ever got made as a big budgeted feature and not as a movie of the week. The cast is competent and it’s good to see Dern play a regular guy for a change. Worth a look if you like either Bruce or Ann-Margret but even fans will have a tough time keeping focus. [/font] Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Bruce McCabe Boston Globe Is it possible to make a movie about something everyone can relate to -- and miss? Middle Age Crazy suggests that it is. Apr 28, 2018 Full Review Larry Vitacco Philadelphia Gay News A witty script and top-flight performances keep Middle Age Crazy a notch above the usual, run-of-the-mill comedy/dramas about the hardships, both real and imagined, of turning 40. Rated: 3/4 May 27, 2020 Full Review Michael Lasky Bay Area Reporter The expository set-up is beautifully handled without a cliche but by the middle of the film it palls. The jokes are no longer there. May 15, 2020 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Middle Age Crazy examines the strange changes that come over a married man after he hits 40.
