Hello Mr. All. I just want you to know that I really enjoyed this movie. The negative ratings are hogwash. For your first time out as director you made an enjoyable comedy/drama. I really liked your character,it was convincing. I paint houses so I could relate to that part. It was pretty accurate all the stuff about painting and customer relations. You must have painted for a living? I thought you should have cut the part where your worker makes nasty comment to woman customer. Anyway, I may watch it again. It was fun. Put the peas on his nuts. That's funny stuff. I have to make this ten lines or they won't post it. I did laugh out load several times which usually does not happen. Your movie was way better than Eddie Murphy offerings that's for sure. I also liked all the American cars the characters drove. Chevrolet and ford etc. It was nice to see that. Later.

Well, sadly I was lured to see this movie. Brazilian's synopsis stated it as a movie which the main character would go insane after leaving prison, since life outside is very hard as well-- not that much anyways. That plot would be much more interesting and related to my job-- I work with a criminal judge. However, the story didn't happen as I thought it would. Even thought the main character has some problems outside jail, I believed he would have so strong problems that he would wish to go back there. Tim Allen is a medium actor, we don't see a differential in his acting when comparing to other mainstream actors. The plot isn't contrived and has some creativity, but in the ends appeals to the old Hollywood cliché-- which makes the movie becomes very corny. All in all, some fun scenes aren't enough to make this movie a good one. Pass it.

Yes...it was a comedy..sort of. It was also suppose to be entertaining as well...which is barely was. The characters had no depth..you could tell these people were acting..and that the script wasn't something worth bringing to the big screen much less as a bargain rental from a Red Box. The movie offered major stars struggling through as if they never bothered to learn their lines...or simply did not care to. I get that Tim Allen obviously is a major player in Hollywood...and seeing how his other films have been HUGE successes...this one falls flat. No one could possibly believe this character had committed ANY crimes at all..no matter how minor. Even the "bad guys" seemed weak. Ray Liotta has made his mark in films being a bad ass...here he seemed about as dangerous as a kitten. I hope if Mr. Allen and company decides to do another film...they find a storyline with more depth to it...Please.

Crazy on the Outside is a delight. The first full length Tim Allen film with it all. Good script. Great cast. Good performances. Great music. The first really believable character for Tim Allen since Home Improvement. Sigourney Weaver plays the hysterical inventive sister. Her funniest, best character since Heartbreakers. And Ray Liotta is the ultimate good bad guy. Although Jeanne Tripplehorn, Kelsey Grammar, J. K. Simmons and Julie Bowen round out the cast, Kenton Duty is great as the baseball playing son. Malcolm Goodwin and Jon Greis are wonderful as the extra ex cons. This is a fun charming movie anyone can watch and enjoy. A real rarity.
