Comedy drama starring Steve Carell as Cal, a divorcee who is struggling to find success in the dating world. Until recently Cal was happily married - or so he thought. When his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), files for a divorce, he is thrown into the unfamiliar territory of single life. Drowning his sorrows at a local pub, Cal meets a 30-something bachelor, Jacob (Ryan Gosling), who gives him advice and helps him work on his appearance. While women start to get interested in Cal, his son, Robbie (Jonah Bobo), falls for his babysitter (Analeigh Tipton), and Jacob meets a girl (Emma Stone) who isn't fooled by his charms. Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon also star. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

A romantic comedy that is incredibly enjoyable, well acted, and not based on a script that is completely stupid, soulless, or tasteless. The joys and sorrows of love are a rewarding and inexhaustible subject that translates well to the screen. Moreover, Crazy, Stupid Love manages not to get bogged down in clichés and awkwardness, as is often the case with films of this genre. In addition, a film starring Julianne Moore and Emma Stone together would be worth watching just for their presence alone. In short, a nice and sweet film that makes you laugh and moves you, in both cases pretty honestly from the heart.

An enjoyable likeable romantic comedy that I find a nice refresher after blockbusters, horror and Asian films. Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling are brilliant, the bar scenes are great, and the interesting twists and tricks are a delight. The highlight is the hilarious scene at the garden reunion, it will make your sides hurt. 80%.

For three quarters of its run I was really thrilled with Crazy, Stupid, Love, but that clichéd happy ending made me lose that feeling very quickly. Carell, Gosling, Moore, et al. are fantastic, I had no problem liking everyone. It’s certainly a very nice film, but if you want to see a truly great one, turn it off after the “meeting in the garden” scene.

Once again, a film full of quality humor and great lines. I don't think anyone in the cast is up to Ryan Gosling’s standard, but Steve Carell shone exceptionally. There are plenty of scenes that made me laugh out loud and a few that made me melt a little. The music was also well chosen. I appreciate films like this in this day and age. The only thing that kept it from perfection for me was a bit less of an American ending. 4.5 stars.

I wonder why Steve Carell took on another almost identical role after the great Dan in Real Life? Why didn't the film end with a great confrontation in the garden and have to have that awful ending? Why did Ryan Gosling get on my nerves so much? Okay, I'll answer the last question myself right now, since I'm heterosexual, but the first two remain a mystery. Still, Crazy, Stupid, Love isn't a bad spectacle. It's just worse than the aforementioned film four years before.
