A teenage movie that trusts its audience -- it sounds crazy, but it's actually quite beautiful.

Gutsy romance-drama that breaks a cardinal rule of storytelling and pop psychology: its iconic lovers aren't forced by a tragedy to learn that they shouldn't depend on each other to feel whole.

One of the few romantic movies that i have ever liked. I think that is more a story about the conflicts of the youth, the decisions of who you gonna be and the things you have to do to accomplish that than a love story. Truthful. Real.

Even when the movie is bad -- it's addictively so.

Fast, wacky and bubbling with passion or dark, troubled and doomed. In the unusually titled crazy/beautiful, it's all those things at once.
67
An absorbing little drama full of unexpected revelations, keen insights into the Anglo and Hispanic cultures of L.A., and strong supporting performances.
50
Courageous, convincing performance by Dunst.

From the lowercase lettering of the title to the deadly familiarity of the plot, there is much to grate on your nerves in this TV Afterschool Special trying to pass as a real movie.

Crazy/Beautiful has fantastic acting from the two lead actors. The movie is a teen drama similar to Save The Last Dance. A troubled teen girl falls for a guy who goes to the same school as her. They begin dating but she doesn't tell him about her troubled past. The movie is very enjoyable on every level !
