Product Description

When big-city speculators chest farmer Nat Banks out of his Virginia farm, he won't take you're evicted for an answer. Temporarily losing his mind, he creates a new home for himself in a cave near the creek on his former property. Leaving his family but not the farm, Nat inspires a community-wide rebellion as he fights his way back home. Starring two-time Oscar® Nominated and Emmy® Award-winning actress Mary McDonnell as Amy and Emmy® Award-winning actor Roger Rees as Nat, Crazy Like a Fox is an enchanting tale about family and the determination in all of us not to go down without a fight.

    I give this one a 9. That's a rating that makes all my friends immediately buy or rent it to see.

    Roger Rees is an 8th generation Virginian. Crushing debt is forcing him to sell his homeplace. The young couple who offer to buy the house and farm seem to be as good a solution to the problems as one could hope for--they say that they will not demolish the old house, they will not subdivide the farm and put up McMansions on it, they'll keep Rees and his family on as caretakers and employ all those that Rees has had helping him. We have their word on it. He's a lawyer; she's a realtor.

    Yuppie scum.

    Nat (Rees) is forced to make the deal, but he can't bring himself to leave his homeplace. While his wife and children move into town, he sets up residence in a cave near the river on the property. Before it's all over, half the world seems to become involved.

    It's pure fantasy. If only reality could be like this. I love this movie, and it's going to be a personal favorite.

    The dialogue is excellent, the cinematography is luscious and wonderful, the acting (even by the yuppy scum) is perfect, the scenery is lovely.

    I know the area well in Northern Virginia- the old hunt country of Loudoun and Fauquier counties where the story takes place. It is actually based loosely on a true story. There are the "come heres" and the old Virginians. That area of Virginia has been contested the last 30 years or more as being cut off from "real Virginia" due to the influx of non natives and shall we say those above the Mason Dixon line. This does a great job in creating the "vibe" of the area- especially the scenes at the General Store, the old Mosby highway, the relationship between the whites and the blacks, and the Yankee outsiders. The acting is solid, even if the lead Englishman doesn't attempt an American accent. It seems to show the "atmosphere" well. If you know the area well, it's also where Country music legend Patsy Cline once trod, in her journeys around Winchester and nearby environs. It has a lot of tropes (city folk vs country folk), but it's well done.

    This was so fun, well acted, and left me with a smile on my face (except the 1 F bomb - could have done without that). Wish there were more movies like this being made. Reminds me of a more community minded time.
