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.

It has lifted me off my chair! The finale - with Foreigners' extraordinary song - and a top-10 British cast felt like an apotheosis!

A strangely touching comedy that hits all the right notes for anyone familiar with the age of rock and roll excess.

Cast, music, story - I have really enjoyed watching this movie - entertaining and light. Not every movie has to be a life changing journey of mind-bending intensity. Sometimes it's ok to be comfortable, to just relax and take the trip. This movie delights me - every time.
