Get Crazy

"Get Crazy," a rock musical comedy set on New Year's Eve 1982, has been largely forgotten since its release in 1983. Thanks to a new Blu-ray release by Kino Lorber, the film is getting a chance at a second life. (COURTESY OF KINO LORBER)

While there are hundreds of Christmas movies, New Year’s Eve is far more under represented in cinema. The nearly forgotten “Get Crazy,” a rock musical comedy set on the eve of 1983, is perfectly positioned to become a staple for the holiday thanks to a new Blu-ray by Kino Lorber.

“Get Crazy” is set at the Saturn Theater, which is based on the Fillmore East, with owner Max Wolfe (Allen Garfield) preparing for his 15th annual New Year’s Eve concert.
