CRAZY FOR LOVE, AKA: MY SUICIDAL SWEETHEART, NOT INSANE Oh how PC we all are now... first released as 'My Suicidal Sweetheart', now turned into 'Crazy For Love'... but hey, "What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name, would smell as sweet." Max (David Krumholtz) is a troubled young man who is sent to a mental institution after many unsuccessful attempts to kill himself. In true love story fashion, Max meets a beautiful young woman Grace (Natasha Lyonne) who is also suicidally-challenged and it is love at first site. Once they escape from the institution the real madness ensues. Despite either title, this is a surprisingly sweet movie which is funny but also very touching and unexpectedly sincere. It could have gone way over the top, but only neared the line once or twice. Lots of "D-list" celebrities throughout the film, but it is only the icing across this crazy cake.
PICK: Smart, funny and realistic, this movie has heart... and Prozac and Xanax and...
