*DRAMA* Like Five, Call Me Crazy boasts
an impressive cast, including Jennifer Hudson, Melissa Leo, Octavia
Spencer, Sofia Vassilieva, Ernie Hudson, Jason
Ritter, Jean Smart, Lea Thompson, Melanie
Griffith and Chelsea Handler. But the packed house
leaves some, like Griffith, barely appearing onscreen or not having much
to do (Handler stands in the background of "Eddie" mostly looking at
her phone). A few though, like Leo, find a way to make the most of their
moments and really shine. The stories
deal with several disorders, from schizophrenia to bipolar, depression and
PTSD. The most affecting of these is portrayed by Leo ("Grace"), a
bipolar mother whose daughter (Modern Family's Sarah Hyland)
has had the burden of caring for her for most of her life. Those types of
family issues, the support (or lack thereof) of friends, alienation, finding
help and, sometimes, dealing with legal consequences are all part of the surrounding
issues of mental illness that the collection does an admirable job of
illustrating despite the occasional bad wig and whirlwind timeline
("Maggie" is particularly guilty of this misstep).
