A downright good film.

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2006)

The story of a man, trying to lay low for a while by hiding in a crazy house pretending to be nuts. Jack Nicholson plays JP, a loud mouth arrogant man who finds any situation to start a fight. This film is about his interaction with crazy people and the situations he gets them all into. One of the most memorable things about this is the ending, which has been spoofed and redone on almost every sitcom. I can't even begin to explain how compelling this Best Picture winning film is. It's great. Watch for Christpher Lloyd, Brad Douriff, Vincent Schiavelli and Danny Devito as the residents of the Crazy House.
My rating: ****/****. 135 mins. Rated R for Language and Brief Violent material.
