Like Crazy
Like Crazy is about the malleable Jacob (Anton Yelchin) and the take charge Anna (Felicity Jones), two L.A. college students who fall in love during their graduation year. Too bad at least one of them wasn’t studying molecular biology that final year of school because at least then there would be a little chemistry on screen. Anyway their passion has Anna foolishly violating her visitor’s visa. It’s hard to believe kids who did so well in school could consistently act so dumb post graduation but their folly leads to numerous years of an annoying on again off again long distance relationship between England and American. In deference to the title, early on Anna states emphatically that she’s not crazy so it must be him simulating insanity, and there’s actually definite proof of that. Jacob has a shot at Sam (Jennifer Lawrence) – TWICE - but keeps getting reeled back in by the cloying Brit. Like Crazy is kind of a heterosexual Brokeback Mountain with the USA immigration policy standing in for social intolerance.
