After the failure of ''Heartbeeps,'' Arkush tried to recapture the musical zaniness of his earlier RockAndRollHighSchool while turning the comedy - as well as the SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll - UpToEleven. ExecutiveMeddling (coupled with financiers who allegedly viewed TheProducers as a [[ComicallyMissingThePoint training film!]])) pretty much killed GET CRAZY at the box office. Despite its current absence from home video and only occasional appearance on cable, it's developed something of a cult following.
