What to Know

Critics Consensus

Still Crazy can't completely escape the shadow left by the classic rock mockumentaries of the past, but it earns a commendable number of laughs in its own right.

3/4
There aren't a lot of plot surprises in Still Crazy, and the ending is more or less as expected -- indeed, as decreed by the comeback genre. But the characters are sharply defined and well-written, and we come to like them. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 12 The worldwide gross is $524,864.00. See more Ginnie S @RT49918989 07/25/2025 This film makes you laugh and cry, an easy watch with catchy songs and great names from the 1990s love this film See more iDream T @RT07548572 02/27/2025 A story about a '70s band that falls apart and reunite years later. They rediscover each other and themselves as they rise again to fame and success. It's a story that could be true about any circle of friends but in this case it's about a rock band. Although a bit corny and predictable, it's still authentic and profound enough to lift you up as they struggle and win their way back. See more Ed L @ed65love 12/15/2024 A masterpiece! What do you expect, with that cast, and those screenwriters? I watch it every year, if not more often. It never ages. Sure, Spinal Tap is marginally amusing. Worth watching once. But SC is a hilarious riot! Not only is the music great, but it's very funny, and deeply moving at times. Spinal Tap doesn't even come close.
