I can't believe the major city who are panning this remarkable movie. Angelina Jolie has elevated her screen personae tenfold with this sensitive portrayal. It's a landmark role for her and a brilliant movie, overall. The sweeping cinematography and important story are reminders of why we go to the movies. Every performance is Oscar-caliber. I haven't been so impressed by a production, a script, a storyline and casting in years. This is a keeper! See it now.

It's not the most sophisticated movie in the world but if you can get past that (and if you can find a copy!), "Going Berserk" is loaded with laughs. Candy's portrayal is offbeat and hilarious. Steinberg's script has absurdities in it that are hysterical. I laugh everytime I watch it even though I know what's coming next. Worth your while to seek it out and turn off the high-brow expectations we assign to most movies and just laugh.

Let's see...the music is cheesy and inappropriate for the action...the acting is below every possible standard...there is a glaring lack of logic and apropos emotion. In short, it is one of the worst movies ever made and no "campy heritage" can save it or the 90 minutes of your life you'll waste watching it. So, there!
