Although a sort of comedy/drama-lite, "Still Crazy" does something which most of the recent raft of formula romantic comedies fail to do. Specifically, the film manages character development so well that their absurd nature, necessary to be funny, does not interfere with the emotional "buy in" making it possible for the audience to empathize with the characters while enjoying their humorous antics. "SC" tells of a motley bunch of aging ex-rock stars who, after 20 years apart, reconstitute the band to have a go at touring again. The film uses the Rea and Aubrey characters as the center of gravity (straight wo/man) around which the rest of the band can create off-the-wall humor, some decent music, and some poignant moments. The result is a very good journeyman effort which will likely be enjoyed most by "baby boomers"...even those who may have outgrown rock music.
