if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

"WTF did I just watch??" was the only thing that went through my mind when the credits started to roll.This movie is messed up in all kinds of ways. An amateur mess of different genres. It just jerks from supernatural to horror to comedy to musical to violence to drama to WTF?? I tried hard to get a general concept of the plot. But there really isn't one at all. It's not worth mentioning the plot because the story is loose, messed up, messy, just not a plot at all.This movie isn't weird, or even so bad it's funny, it's just plain bad. Maybe that was the goal of the makers, because apparently the project was sold to a Chinese company, who told them what kind of film to make, and so the makers decided to mess up the movie, just to tick off the Chinese company.I didn't really enjoy sitting through the length of this movie. I've read a lot of reviews prior to watching this film, telling me that it's just a really weird, disturbing, messed up movie. Not really. It was just plain bad. I expected a bit more. 3*

The foremost reason why people seem to like this movie is because it's weird. But weird or unusual of course doesn't always also equal good. And thrust me, I have seen plenty of weird stuff, also from Japan, in my life, so I think I know what I'm talking about. And no, this movie just wasn't all that good to watch.The problem I had with the movie was that I just never really was entertained by it. It's an horror comedy but neither the horror or comedy really impressed me. As a matter of fact, you could hardly call this an horror at all. It only features some ghosts walking around but as it turns out, this doesn't even play an all that central role in the movie.Also the comedy just wasn't anything that clever or original and instead too often come across as lame and very simplistic instead.Elements such as nudity, rape, incest, violence gore, are all very much present throughout the movie. Yes, it has all the elements of an exploitation flick, it just isn't a very good one. It all feels very forced and very obviously wanted deliberately to gross out its viewers, by becoming as extreme and weird as possible. Most of the stuff really doesn't make any sense in the context of the story, which as a whole also makes this quite a redundant watch.Because of all these many different elements, the movie also never flows very well. It doesn't really has a pleasant pace to it, though it's quite hard to tell if this is due to the directing approach, or simply just the script of the movie. I tend to think it's the script, that was just far too lacking in real originality and good creativity.No Sir, I did not really liked this movie. I never had any fun with it and would even call it quite a pointless watch, so ye be warned! 4/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

It seems that every bozo who's written a comment for this movie has eventually come to a point and admitted that they gave up with trying to follow the plot. But not me! I stuck it out, and I'll now tell you exactly what transpired in Crazy Lips.Nah, I'm messing with you. I gave up as well. I did. Here's a quick glimpse into what Crazy Lips has to offer. The flick starts off with a family being bombarded by news reporters who want answers about their possible murdering brother. They hire some crazy psychic broad who can remote-sense through telephone lines, then there's her boob squeezin' obsessed side-kick. Then you find out one of the sisters has some type of super mind control power that she uses to kill people with, then the psychic chick orders 'ceremonies' on the entire family that basically just rapes them.....I can go on and on with the whackiness on display here. And it only gets weirder. You want incest and necrophilia? Okay! By the end it turned into a action flick with fights all over the place, and there was even some type of monster 'thing' supposedly on the loose. And there was even a song in the middle of the movie.Okay, Crazy Lips is nuts. It's that simple. But it's also entertaining. And if you dig any type of weirdness with elements of exploitation, then this should be right up your weird ass alley.

Crazy Lips is a thoroughly enjoyable and bizarre flick, where I really had no idea what was coming next, and often was enthralled by new hilarious or thrilling twists and turns. But, in the end, I found myself simply feeling ill, for the basic reason that 4 out of the 5 female characters in the film are raped, in the traditional anime style of,"wait, are those sounds of pain and trauma or are the girls getting off on this"? Among all the gleefull gross and inventive gags, this repeating aspect simply disturbed me. I understand that to take anything of this movie and treat it seriously is rather silly, but I was bothered by the rapes presented as such. Anal rape! Ha ha ha! It just didn't sit well with me, and made it difficult to enjoy the rest of the flick. I'm not so narrow minded as to think that these scenes will inspire people to rape young girls in the ass as they are forced onto the erection of a dying hanging man, but the gratuitous shots of the young girls sweaty chest, her sounds of pain and anguish slowly turning into gasps of excitement and pleasure as she is (with overt squelching noises) violated from in front and behind represent a disturbing attitude that rape, such a violent and tragic reality, isn't really that bad; that girls might even like it, or deserve it. Certainly others have been able to enjoy the movie despite these scenes, and one could easily say that I'm being hypocritical, as I have no qualms about the violence and torture in the film being presented humorously. Maybe so, but I have yet to find any aspect of rape, no matter how cartoonishly or ridiculously it is presented, entertaining. There is a very real social stigma about rape, in America, Japan, and everywhere else. It is a brutal reality that is perpetrated on women and children and men as well every day across the globe, and it is also the least reported crime in the world. Such a very brutal and destructive crime perhaps should merely be treated with respect for the victims, not exploitation, no matter how harmlessly intended.
