Review of Like Crazy

Like Crazy (2016)
3/10
Seriously troubled and not happy at all
4 June 2020
Donatella and Beatrice are what in our politically correct world is normally despised as "stereotyped weak females", but for some reasons they are beloved by critics and audience.

Both are delusional, with a very poor grasp of reality and rely on friends and relatives for financial and moral support. They don't accept any responsibility for their actions and blame the world at large for their misfortunes. Their contribution to the well-being of others is non-existent.

Donatella is from a rich family which she drove to bankruptcy thanks to her gambling and erratic behaviour. She also betrayed her husband with a common criminal who stole more money form her and she's still stalking the thug, despite him having made clear they're over.

Beatrice is a punk addict, nightclub dancer, covered in tattoos, from a broken family. Neither her mother or father have the will or inclination to care for her. She also produced a baby with a married man not inclined in the family ways. For reasons impossible to understand, we should believe that Beatrice could be a better parent than her own.

These two pathetic women embark in an escape from their mental facility and drive through a series of humiliating and cringe-worthy adventures, until the blah open ending. I give one star to the actresses who did a great job to portray two very unlikable characters, one to the music score and one to the costumes they wore at the end, nostalgic memorabilia of more stylish times.
