Mad about You

About This Movie

Mad About You, from 1987, is an intriguing dive into sexual liberation through the eyes of Lisa Newman. The film's tone flirts with a mix of raunchy humor and earnest exploration, especially as Lisa navigates the bizarre world of Dr. Shrinkman's clinic. It’s got this curious pacing, where each encounter becomes increasingly absurd and eye-opening for her. The performances, particularly from the nurse Saphos, add a distinct flavor, blending outrageousness with a touch of sympathy for the characters. It's definitely a product of its time, showcasing themes of sexual freedom and societal norms with a wink.

This film has a niche appeal among collectors, especially those interested in 80s comedies that push boundaries. It's not as widely available in pristine formats, making original VHS or early DVD releases somewhat sought after. The scarcity and offbeat nature contribute to its standing in underground cinema circles, generating interest among those who appreciate the era's quirkiness.
