In “Middle Age Crazy”, Bobby Lee (Bruce Dern) is turning forty. It seems he can no longer take the pressure of being married to sex-loving Sue Ann (Ann-Margret), or that his college age son is dropping out, or his father dying or the pressure put upon him at his job. So Bobby Lee decides buy a new sports car and has an affair with a Dallas Cheerleader, to get away from all this pressure. Sue Ann, feeling rejected and abandon has an affair of her own. In the end, they finally decide to talk and jump into their hot tub fully clothed and make up. Credits roll. The problem, or should I say one of the problems, is that it is hard to feel sorry for Bobby Lee since, looking at the home he lives in, he obviously is making a good living. In addition, he has a beautiful wife who loves him and whose only fault seems to be is that she likes to have sex with him (she screams out “Bingo” every time she has an orgasm). Poor Bobby Lee, my heart goes out to him.

Is that car compensation or what ???

My Dad almost bought the 928 used in this movie in the early 80's The car was in Toronto Canada (filmed in Texas & Canada) but they must have beat the hell out of it because it had a blown head gasket.

Wouldn't it be nice if all years and models had a Bingo alert. Prime or not.

I remember this movie.

"I don't want to be the daddy" line is what sticks with me. and in the video for his birthday the dad notes that at his age "it sucks".

I got my 911 when facing 40. just got the 928 two years ago.

thanks for the laugh Nicole.

I saw this movie ("Middle Age Crazy") as a young professional and thought it was great. Its hard to find in video stores now. I didn't quite get his anxiety about the responsibility and parenthood thing, until I became the parent of 3 full grown young men. I love them to death, but you never stop "being the daddy". Now I get it.

BTW: The dealership was in Houston....forgot which one, but I'll bet someone at an existing dealership knows. They were going to use a real salesman, but the guy couldn't put on the sleeze convincingly, so they had to use an actor.
