Carlos and Nicole's plightin a real world settingis a deadly serious one and deserves any amount of screen time set aside for it, however 'crazy/beautiful' isn't deadly serious. My main concern with 'crazy/beautiful' is that not oncefor any given minute of the film's running timedid I ever care what happened to the cast of characters. But soon, Carlos becomes intertwined in Nicole's life and begins to sacrifice his own plans and ambitions to take care of his damaged girlfriend. When they meet on a beach one summer day, it seems like the birth of innocent puppy love. Nicole (Kirsten Dunst) is a wealthy drunk who is locked in a battle with her inner demons and her Senator father (Bruce Davison), who has all but given up on her. As shallow teen love affairs go, this thinly-veiled remake of the 1994 Drew Barrymore/Chris O'Donnell damaged-person-brings-down-good-kid-flick 'Mad Love,' is as shallow and uninteresting as they come.Ĭarlos (Jay Hernandez) is a disadvantaged high school student from Los Angeles who dreams one day of flying airplanes in the military. The characters don't really have love at first sight, nor do they develop anything more than a superficial romantic attachment. And the devotion on display here certainly does not prompt the characters to stand up and sing as they do in ' Moulin Rouge.' 'crazy/beautiful' is based more on lust.

There is no sweetness or purity to the affection shared in this new film. They don't share the kind of romantic connection that we huddle into theaters by the millions to watch. The characters in 'crazy/beautiful' ( IMDb listing) are not in love. Stupid Kids: Jay Hernandez and Kirsten Dunst engage in reckless photo developing.
