Each actor appears to have received the script to a different movie, while Allen adds his own directorial touch of sexual vulgarity.

Allen's forced approach to Judd Pillot and John Peaslee's Screenwriting 101-style script has merely left everyone floating on their own.

You'd think that getting Allen, Sigourney Weaver, J.K. Simmons, Kelsey Grammer, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ray Liotta together for a comedy would be at the least intriguing, but as it turns out, not so much.

Looking and sounding like a second-tier '80s made-for-cabler, Crazy on the Outside is the sort of bland trifle one might watch to kill time during an extended flight.

Tim Allen's directorial debut, a strained comedy drama about an ex-con trying to go straight, isn't nearly crazy enough.

Allen screws up his directing debut with a script that smothers his wit in a blanket of bland.

Winds up as a fairly inspirational comedy, without being truly memorable.

This vanity project has the feel of an extended sitcom pilot.

Aaron Hillis L.A. Weekly

We get charmless hack work from two sitcom writers, a phoned-in ensemble, and for Allen a vanity role that could certainly be called criminal.
