Crazy for Crazy Enough!
I saw this film on VOD and pre-ordered the DVD due to the fact that I am a huge fan of Chris Kattan's old SNL comedy sketches. The movie was surprisingly entertaining and made me laugh out loud on multiple occasions. Chris plays a double role as a psychiatrist who gets accidently mistaken for his twin brother who has spent his entire life in a mental institution. The other characters in the institution are incredibly humorous and turn out to be great sidekicks in his big escape so he can return to his normal life with his wife and two kids. You get double the dose of humor with the wacky twin duo played by Kattan; certainly a great film that can be enjoyed by all!
4 Stars for Chris Kattan
Honestly, the movie itself was not great as one would expect of a straight to DVD production. However, Chris's performance is always enjoyable as he is just a naturally funny guy. I am writing this review to simply vent my indignation at Hollywood's general ignoring of this great talent WTF!!! Come on, when I see so many mainstream major comedies that star actors, many of whom don't hold a candle to his gifts, it makes me sick and makes me wonder? Shame on you, the powers that be, for letting such talent go relatively untapped.
So maybe there REALLY are TWO Chris Kattans!
This is a well-made film, with Chris Kattan playing a very believable set of twins, who are separated at birth and manage to switch places for a short time, with hilarious results! Chris does a great job at playing the "everyman" you might feel a bit sorry for, whether he's the psychiatrist or the "slow" twin (who really isn't that slow!)
I miss Chris' "Mango" and "Mr. Peepers" SNL characters, but really didn't think about them much at all during "Crazy Enough."
