This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I laughed through the whole thing, Martin is animated in a good way. Kevin Hart tries to be like Martin with the face expressions but will NEVER be on Martin's level. The way Martin delivers his jokes is just hilarious. And doesn't only rely on delivery but his jokes are actually funny. Really hopes he gets back into the game and start to take the world back by storm. Martin is one of the only comedians that really makes me laugh. He's funny in shows and stand up. The way he brings humor to racism is just super funny, especially when he imitates stereotypes of different races including his own. There was not a boring moment during this stand up and I laughed all the way through.

These projects have three components. Making the studio audience laugh. If they do, we are presumed to. Touching us in some way that matters. That's indicated by laughter but depends on deeper connections, usually with standup measured as "insight."And then there's the film-related skills used to convey these two. In this case, they are amateurish, but it hardly matters. That's because this man has no talent for this sort of thing. He DOES make his audience laugh, but that uses a simple strategy: talk about things that are slightly outside the normal discourse: smelly vagina's and such. The audience titters, prebonded and rebonded. Black performers get a free ride for the first three- quarters of the effort when among black audiences because he belongs, so far as he establishes his bona fides.But the question for you, dear reader is whether this will matter to you, today, in its video form. And I suspect for nearly everyone the answer is no. Its not just that this is bad, but there is so much better. I'm talking about Chris Rock.Richard Pryor invented this form. Lawrence tries it and fails; Rock masters it. Its a s simple game: Gather a group who has ethnic identity, consisting of mainly stereotypes imposed and self-generated. Start out each joke sequence inside those stereotypes. Accept them, grow them, validate and celebrate them and then slyly turn the tables, showing how thin and ridiculous they are. Then segue into another set of stereotypical characteristics that seems to resolve this, or perhaps merely distract and start again.Rock is essentially perfect in this. Clearly there was some conscious thought in this, and some professional writers. But it all revolves around intuitive timing.I dare you to watch the two comics one after another. One is demeaning, the other intelligent and enobling.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

Only someone who understands nothing about relationships and many of the life situations being discussed in this stand-up can say that somehow this is not funny. Martin Lawrence is a comical genius and he proves it in You So Crazy. Stop hating and open your mind.

"You So Crazy" has to be one of the best stand-up acts I have ever seen. I laughed practically through the whole thing. I had never even heard of it until i saw it on HBO for the first time two years ago. I caught it in the middle and couldn't stop watching it. It was freakin' hilarious. I decided to go rent it and watch the whole thing. Everyone I know that has seen "You So Crazy" thinks its funny as hell. If you don't like Martin Lawrence, rent this movie and it will change your mind.
