Crazy, Stupid, Love
118 min - Comedy | Drama | Romance Steve Carell, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling and Julianne Moore star in one of the best movies of the summer. This was not a movie I was really thinking about going to see. But a friend wanted to see it so I did. I am so glad we went. One of the best movies begining to end I have seen in ages. Funny, smart, comedy with soul.
It does have a range of emotions. Most of which is laughter and happiness. But there are some parts that tug at your heart strings. I find this to be a great sign that the movies plot sucked you in and you have fell in love with the characters.
Steve Carell is as funny as ever, and this was a perfect roll for him. Physical comedy as well as sincere ability to show emotion.
Ryan Gosling what can I say num num num. Great actor, great looks. I hadn't ever seen him in anything before b/c his usual work is too sappy for me. This was a perfect roll for him to be in to maybe get more fans. Again...wow (he takes his shirt off) wow.
Emma Stone is one of my favorite actresses since I saw her in Easy A. She is a tough actress with skill. She has a great career ahead of her.
This movie bring some newcomers too.
Please check out this movie! It has heart...and will get yours! It will make you laugh out loud too. I mean there are twists and turns as well. You wont be bored or sorry you saw this. Let me know what you think!
Synopsis as found on
Movie Synopsis: At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream--good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart. But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his "perfect" life quickly unravels. Worse, in today's single world, Cal, who hasn't dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protege to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling). In an effort to help Cal get over his wife and start living his life, Jacob opens Cal's eyes to the many options before him: flirty women, manly drinks and a sense of style that can't be found at Supercuts or The Gap. Cal and Emily aren't the only ones looking for love in what might be all the wrong places: Cal's 13-year-old son, Robbie, is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica, who harbors a crush on Cal. And despite Cal's makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that can't be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading him back to where he began.
