One of Lloyd's BEST films!, 25 May 2000
10/10
Author: Norm Vogel (norm3vog@blast.net) from S. Bound Brook, NJ

This film, along with "Safety Last" (and a couple of other silents) is one of THE funniest films he ever made!

This is quite unusual, in that he is primarily known as a silent-screen comedian, and this is a SOUND film! It is by far his best "talkie"!

Movie Crazy could've easily been made into a silent, but the sound adds a new dimension to Lloyd's comedy! The gags come fast & furious - his "riding in a limo", his antics at the movie studio, and the commotion he raises in a fancy restaurant when he dons a magician's coat (with props!) by mistake.

The latter is one of THE funniest sequences in a comedy film!

This film is to Lloyd as "Sons of the Desert" is to Laurel & Hardy.....simply, his BEST!

SEE IT....and, prepare to split your sides with laughter!

Norm
