Go Go Crazy is a 2011 independent film that stands out for its colorful portrayal of a dance competition set in the members-only world of gay strip clubs. Directed by Fred M. Caruso, this movie is a satire on the bizarre subculture of male striptease, live theater, and drag shows. The movie stars Christina Bianco, Paul Cereghino, Rick Crom, Michael Cusumano, Nick Kenkel, and a host of other talented actors.

Go Go Crazy takes place in the iconic nightclub called the Crazy Horse, which is owned by the flamboyant Mr. Arnold (Rick Crom). The Crazy Horse is the go-to place for gay men who like to watch male strippers and drag queens. The movie is set during the annual "Grand Prix" dance competition, where teams of performers compete for fame, glory, and a cash prize of $1000.

The main character of the movie is a shy and meek dance instructor named Jack (Paul Cereghino). Jack is in love with a male stripper at the Crazy Horse named Randy (Michael Cusumano), who is part of a dance team called the "Rainbow Dancers." Jack discovers that Randy is secretly cheating on him with his dance partner, Alex (Nick Kenkel), who belongs to a rival team, the "Adonis Dancers." Upset and heartbroken, Jack decides to form his dance team to compete against the Rainbow Dancers.

Jack manages to recruit a group of misfit dancers, including the sarcastic Lola (Christina Bianco), the nerdy Travis (Timothy Paul Driscoll), the horny Butch (John Klinger), and the clueless Andre (Stephen Guarino). The team calls themselves the "Bouncing Biddies," and they are determined to win the Grand Prix competition.

The plot of the movie revolves around the Bouncing Biddies' efforts to create a winning dance routine. The team faces obstacles such as a lack of talent, a shortage of costumes, and a rivalry with the Rainbow Dancers. Meanwhile, Jack tries to overcome his personal demons and confronts his love for Randy. The movie also satirizes the gay subculture of male striptease and drag shows, and it includes several hilariously absurd dance numbers.

Go Go Crazy is an enjoyable romp that is bound to make you laugh. The movie is campy, over-the-top, and full of surprises. The acting is superb, especially by Christina Bianco, who steals the show with her witty one-liners and spot-on impersonations. The other actors also give excellent performances, bringing to life a motley crew of characters who are as memorable as they are ridiculous.

The movie's themes are universal, despite the subculture it portrays. Jack's journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance is relatable to anyone who has struggled with their identity. The movie also explores the themes of friendship, loyalty, and the pursuit of one's dreams. Despite the characters' zany and outrageous behavior, they are fleshed out and sympathetic. You root for them to succeed, even when their odds seem insurmountable.

In terms of production values, Go Go Crazy is impressive. The film was shot on location in New York City, and the interiors of the Crazy Horse were painstakingly designed to create an authentic atmosphere. The dance numbers, choreographed by the talented Nick Kenkel, are a highlight of the movie. The soundtrack is also fabulous, featuring a mix of original songs and classic disco tunes.

In conclusion, Go Go Crazy is a fun and entertaining movie that will appeal to fans of musicals, comedies, and offbeat subcultures. The movie's satire and humor are both sharp and broad, and the ensemble cast is outstanding. If you are looking for a movie that will lift your spirits and make you laugh, look no further than Go Go Crazy.
