Again?, March 13, 2005
"Guncrazy" is a mediocre movie at best, unfortunately. However, if you want to see a 17-year old Drew in (yet again) sexual situations (none of which are good), then this is the movie for you. It combines the "I married an ex-con", "I like guns", and "I'm a sexually troubled girl" plots into yet another movie.
Directed by Tamra Davis, who made at least one pretty good movie ("Skipped Parts"), she is not totally without talent. The movie was written by Matthew Bright, who wrote "Freeway" a few years earlier, so he has talent as well. Included are Drew Barrymore, Ione Skye and a couple other notable names, however, they display no real talents here.
I guess the dialog is the weakest link. Some of it just sounds bad or out of place.
There are no extra features. You could do worse, but not by much.

good little movie, June 4, 1999
By A Customer
This is a gem of a movie with a great performance from Drew Barrymore. It was another one of her comeback movies, filmed after "Poison Ivy". The story revolves around a teenager ( Barrymore ) who has been abused all her life. She becomes pen pals with a convict ( James LeGros ), who is guncrazed. To impress him she takes up shooting guns. With this new found power in her hands she shoots one of her abusers. When LeGros finally gets out, they bury the body and wind up killing two more people. They are then on the run from the cops. A must see for any Drew fan.

Not Quite Trash Classic, October 19, 2004
This review is from: Guncrazy (DVD)
So what is this movie? A film noir homage(a la "Gun Crazy")? A Bonnie and Clyde homage? A Lifetime movie-of-the-week? Or is it just plain trash that falls just short of classic status. Drew Barrymore and James LeGros earnestly play the trailer park trash nymphette and her prison pen pal turned partner in crime, respectively. The movie engages your attention throughout. What it lacks are those over-the-top moments that a movie like this needs to attain that midnight movie trash classic status. There is some interesting casting here. Billy Drago (he played Frank Nitti in "The Untouchables") as the trailer-park preacher. Tracey Walter, veteran of Jonathan Demme films, appears here as a barroom patron. Joe D'Allesandro, veteran of Andy Warhol films and the Sonny Steelgrave segment of TV's "Wiseguy", appears as Barrymore's mother's boyfriend.
