Critic Reviews

Bill Goodykoontz

A harmless little mess of a movie whose cast you've mostly heard of, including Tim Allen, who also directed. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Looking and sounding like a second-tier '80s made-for-cabler, Crazy on the Outside is the sort of bland trifle one might watch to kill time during an extended flight. Read full review

Frank Scheck

With neither the dramatic nor comedic aspects of the story line being remotely convincing, the best efforts of the talented cast go for naught. Read full review

Aaron Hillis

Tim Allen returns to lowest-common-denominator comedy as the star of his own ill-advised, irritating directorial debut. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

John Peaslee's Screenwriting 101-style script has merely left everyone floating on their own. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Each actor appears to have received the script to a different movie, while Allen adds his own directorial touch of sexual vulgarity. Read full review

Peter Travers

Allen screws up his directing debut with a script that smothers his wit in a blanket of bland. Read full review

This movie was pretty ok. I think it could have been better, but I did enjoy myself. I found it to be a nice break from all the action movies and whatnot that's out right now.

Terrible movie, gave it a 1 instead of 0 only because of the quality of the cast, for whom I feel sympathy. Lame, stupid, unfunny, dumb site gags, awkward pacing, clunky directing.

Tim Allen creates a film thats all about him. One would think with all that "star firepower" that this film might cook. It fails as a comedy, as a drama and as a film. Karle Warren (Loren -Judging Amy) has 2 lines. Ray Liotta plays a heavy but his role is not defined. Sigourney WeaverTim Allen creates a film thats all about him.

Ray Liotta plays a heavy but his role is not defined. Sigourney Weaver plays Allens sister yet her role is more of a cameo. In fact the heavy hitters in the film are mostly cameo roles. A waste of time but a payday for the actors.… Expand
