Crazy Stupid Love [DVD] [2011]

Funny and moving, any movie with Ryan Gosling is a winner!

Not only is this one of the funniest films I have ever seen but the Gosling & Carell due remains on top - especially with Emma Stone in the mix, this film is one of the most entertaining stories I have seen.

The first time this movie was shipped there was a portion of the case chipped. I returned it and ordered another one. This one came in perfect. I was thankful because I love this movie.

Honestly, it one of my more favorite Steve Carrel movies. I love it from start to finish.

The disc came in good condition. Had to have this for my collection.

Haven't seen in a long time. Saw it was on sale and picked it up. Pretty good movie.

Cal Weaver (Steve Carrell) is happy in his marriage and dotes on his two children. Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling) is dedicated to the pursuit of one-night stands with beautiful women. And Hannah (Emma Stone) is a soon-to-be lawyer in love with a man who her best friend believes is beneath her but who Hannah (Stone) is genuinely hoping will propose. But Weaver (Carrell) is blindsided when his wife of more than 20 years, (played by Julianne Moore) confesses she’s been unfaithful and wants a divorce. We soon find Cal Weaver living in an apartment spending an inordinate amount of time at a local pickup joint drinking heavily and repeatedly stating the particulars of his wife’s infidelity to the establishment’s clientele. This puts a serious crimp in Jacob’s evening and so he offers his advice and services as a life coach, of sorts. Meanwhile, he’s made several overtures to Hannah only to be rejected every time. I’ll admit, there are few moments where the characters find themselves in situations so embarrassing, that I can’t bear to watch. That said, this is easily the best comedy I’ve seen this summer, and perhaps this year. Good premise, great characters, and amazing twists you do not see coming. Loved it.

I didn't normally care for Steve Carell, because his acting I usually find more silly than funny. However the two romantic comedies that I have seen him in, Crazy Stupid Love & Dan in Real Life, I have enjoyed enough to buy and watch over & over. That to me is an incredible bit of acting where he is funny & not silly. The big bonus in this is the extra side stories of The Womanizer & the girl with her side-kick friend, as well as the babysitter & son. All in all a very entertaining movie.
