Out-of-work actor Jay (Ray Panthaki) struggles to make ends meet while managing his family’s London tandoori restaurant. Jay was once a rising star on a popular television soap, but his world came crashing down around him when his ex-girlfriend, Chloe, released their sex tape on the internet after he dumped her so he could focus on his career. Chloe went on to become a rich and successful Hollywood star, and Jay? He was dropped from the soap, he made the tabloids, he brought his family shame (even the family in India, his father points out), and his only claim to fame, it seems, is the infamous tape, the “one crazy thing” of the film’s title. He can’t go out to a bar without someone wanting a picture with the “Asian Persuasion”, as one fan calls him. He can’t even, it seems, go out on a date...

★★★☆☆ Without even realizing there is a need for it, the cinematic palate needs to be cleansed of the loud, brash Hollywood blockbusters, thought-provoking dramas or even tawdry comedies. Sometimes, we need an honest-to-goodness bit of cinema that hearkens back to the classics; where all you need is a simple romance, a few good laughs and one or two amusing bumps in the road to keep the entertainment factor high. Amit Gupta's third feature length film, One Crazy Thing (2014), does precisely this. It's a nice slice of boilerplate rom-com that delivers on a simple plot and strong performances from its lead actors.
