Musical group Strange Fruit had a bitter breakup in the 1970s, but now, 20 years later, keyboard player Tony (Stephen Rea) wants to get the band back together. Joining Tony is old cohort Karen (Juliet Aubrey), who helps convince lead singer Ray (Bill Nighy), bassist Les (Jimmy Nail), drummer Beano (Timothy Spall) and longtime roadie Hughie (Billy Connolly) of the wisdom of a reunion. But old jealousies reemerge when the band hires a young guitarist to fill in.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Still Crazy can't completely escape the shadow left by the classic rock mockumentaries of the past, but it earns a commendable number of laughs in its own right.

3/4
There aren't a lot of plot surprises in Still Crazy, and the ending is more or less as expected -- indeed, as decreed by the comeback genre. But the characters are sharply defined and well-written, and we come to like them. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

Ginnie S @RT49918989 Jul 25 This film makes you laugh and cry, an easy watch with catchy songs and great names from the 1990s love this film See more iDream T @RT07548572 02/27/2025 A story about a '70s band that falls apart and reunite years later. They rediscover each other and themselves as they rise again to fame and success. It's a story that could be true about any circle of friends but in this case it's about a rock band. Although a bit corny and predictable, it's still authentic and profound enough to lift you up as they struggle and win their way back. See more Ed L @ed65love 12/15/2024 A masterpiece! What do you expect, with that cast, and those screenwriters? I watch it every year, if not more often. It never ages. Sure, Spinal Tap is marginally amusing. Worth watching once. But SC is a hilarious riot! Not only is the music great, but it's very funny, and deeply moving at times. Spinal Tap doesn't even come close. See more Chris D @RT54504926 11/19/2024 One of my favorite movies ever … must watch See more Keiran U @RT30738898 11/10/2024 One of, if not thee best movie about a fictional band! See more Tony M @RT39492260 10/28/2023 Simply love this. Still Crazy is right up there with Spinal Tap. A must see! See more Read all reviews
