New Year's Eve, 1982: Max Wolfe (Allen Garfield/Goorwitz), manager of the Saturn Theater, is prepping for his big New Year's concert while dealing with rival promoters, young and horny stagehands, sabotage, and [[GenreMashup a gaggle of musical crazies]].

After the failure of ''Heartbeeps'', Arkush tried to recapture the musical zaniness of his earlier film ''Film/RockAndRollHighSchool'' while turning the comedy - as well as the SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll - up to eleven. ExecutiveMeddling (coupled with financiers who allegedly viewed ''Film/TheProducers'' as a [[ComicallyMissingThePoint training film!]]) pretty much killed ''Get Crazy'' at the box office. ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Crazy The Other Wiki]] goes into more detail on Arkush's struggles.) Despite its current absence from home video and only occasional appearance on cable, it's developed something of a cult following.
