There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie was fairly well done. Tim Allen was his usual self; funny and charming. The rest of the cast was excellent - loaded with great actors, such as JK Simmons, Ray Liotta, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and the timeless Sigourney Weaver, it didn't lack for good performances. I thought Sigourney Weaver was outstanding as Tim Allen's sister. She sort of stole the show. The movie started off fine, and had lots of funny quips that made me chuckle. It kind of dragged in the middle, for awhile, though - and as many of the other reviewers have indicated, it was pretty predictable in a lot of ways. However, I still found it enjoyable for what it was. A light, simple comedy with some heartwarming themes. Plus it's filled with great actors, so even when it starts to drag a bit, the next scene will have yet another great actor doing a really good job of putting their part across. And the ending was kind of fun (though yes, it was somewhat predictable) - again, Sigourney Weaver did her magic to make the most out of it. I recommend this movie for some light enjoyable comedic fare.

I'd say enjoy it for what it is. Tim Allen's comedy 'Crazy on the Outside' was made to make people laugh. The title should be enough to suggest so. I don't know why people were and why they should be expecting otherwise. I for one had a great time watching it. with actors like Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, J.K. Simmons and Kelsey Grammar, who wouldn't have fun? Agreed that the story isn't exactly one of a kind but the humour is more than satisfactory. The dramatic sequences are a little clichéd but they are short and well acted. Tim Allen, Julie Bowen, J.K. Simmons, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Helen Slayton-Hughes, Ray Liotta and Kelsey Grammar act very well but it's Sigourney Weaver who's the scene stealer as she delivers a sincere and natural performance as Tommy's slightly crazy sister. Overall, if you don't take it too seriously, it will make you laugh. Don't pay too much heed to the negative reviews.

I have never before reviewed a movie on IMDb (or anywhere for that matter), but after reading all of the negative reviews by critics as well as fellow IMDBers, I feel compelled to start speaking up. Frankly, I don't quite understand why everyone seems to passionately hate this movie so much. I saw an advanced screening of this and found myself laughing the whole way through. I loved the cast, the plot, everything. To me, this movie had the only thing that I truly care about in a comedy: it was funny! Sure, you can nitpick about all the little things. The story was a little unrealistic at times. Why were two younger women in love with Tim Allen's character? The animated heart was out of place. Maybe the story got a little corny here and there and sometimes the acting wasn't completely believable. But none of that really matters. When I pay to see a comedy, I want to be laughing during most of the movie, and this movie allowed me to do that. I was expecting from the trailer that it was going to be one of those movies that gets a slight chuckle now and then but isn't extremely funny, but it turned out much better than I was expecting. To be fair, I should mention that I consider myself a Tim Allen fan. Having said that, I can admit that most of his movies are pretty crummy, so for him to do this as his directorial debut, I think he did a better job than the directors of a lot of his other films. I say cheers to Tim for trying something new. His movies seem to be getting better. "Wild Hogs," "Redbelt," and now this. I think he's moving away from the corny family movies and into some more interesting material.

I thought this was going to be more of a laugh your ass off comedies, but that was not to be.Now, I am not saying the movie is bad, and it does have its moments with good comedy. But "Crazy on the Outside" is more of a warm story movie. There is something heartfelt to the story. And the build up and turns in the story are nice, especially the way the story progresses around the lies.The acting in the movie was really good, on everyone's part. And good to see marvelous performances from Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Ray Liotta, as usual. Actually nice to see Allen and Liotta back in a movie together. And with only supporting roles, Weaver and Liotta does one heck of a job with their roles.If you are expecting an all-out laugh your ass off comedy, this is not the movie to pick. But I think people should watch this movie at least once, because it is quite nice.
