The cast in 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' carries a generic plot to greater lengths making this movie great. The story and the characters are hilarious and awkward. This a great movie about love, hurt, friendship, and sex. The relationships are realistic and believable. Gosling and Stone actually have chemistry on screen and make there relationship better than the writers wrote it to be. This is a must see with the wife/husband. |

A movie that starts out pretty strong and eventually dissolves into a farce, which isn't bad, but I kind of liked the more realistic story that had already been established. At first I was a little afraid this was going to be a Hitch knock-off, but the strong performance of Steve Carrell helps avoid that. I can't stand Ryan Gosling, and that continues with this film as well. For awhile I wondered why Emma Stone is even in the movie as her character for the first half has nothing to do really with the others, but she eventually does have a purpose when the movie takes it's farcical turn. An okay movie, as long as you can accept where things go halfway through. |

What begins as a cliche storyline becomes something more, due mostly to the charisma and believability of its talented cast. The film finds the perfect balance between comedy and touching emotion and, though, I sometimes tire of "final last speech in front of everybody" scenes, the final graduation speech perfectly summed up the film's themes. |

Great blend of Cute and Serious! |
|
Steve Carell plays Cal, a likable middle-aged man whose wife, Emily, (Julianne Moore) suddenly requests a divorce after 20+ years of marriage, along with an announcement that she has cheated on him with her coworker David (Kevin Bacon). Cal is understandably blindsided by these revelations; he is one of those dopey husbands who assumes everything is fine when no one is complaining.
Heartbroken, Cal eventually turns to the rich womanizer Jacob (Ryan Gosling) a six-packed sexy ladies man who is slicker than slick who offers to teach Cal all he knows so he can hopefully 'regain his manhood'. The two bond during their experiment and the former loser turns into a lustful predator, managing to bed nine women in no time. But things become complicated when Emily begins to show feelings for Cal... |

Crazy, Fun, Movie |
|
This was a great movie about all the different types of love in the world and the people who fall into them. You have first time love, unrequited love, new love and old love. What is great about this movie is how it brings them all together seamlessly and keeps the whole movie moving while doing it.
The movie starts out and mostly revolves around Steve Carell's Cal Weaver and his Wife Emily, played by Julianne Moore, ending their marriage after 25 years. Cal loses everything his wife, his house and even his best friends(His wife says they as a couple have chosen to support Emily not Cal). Cal tries to move on and meets up with the shallow womanizer Jacob, played to perfection by Ryan Gosling, at a bar. Jacob take it upon him self to help Cal. He does this by changing the way he dresses... |

Crazy, Stupid, Love review |
|
Emily (Julianne Moore) admits to her husband that she had an affair with David Lindhagen (Kevin Bacon), her co-worker. Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling befriends the aching Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) by teaching him to womanize. He becomes successful with Kate (Marisa Tomei), who is the teacher of his son Robbie (Jonah Bobo). Cal’s daughter Hannah (Emma Stone) becomes involved with Jacob while Robbie’s babysitter Jessica Riley (Analeigh Tipton) has a crush on him. A few nice lines: Jacob – “I'm wildly unhappy, and I'm trying to buy it, and it's not working.” Cal – “I will never stop trying. Because when you find the one... you never give up.” A film about marriage, love and maturity though I just find it hard to see Steve Carell in dramatic roles, Marisa Tomei was hilarious and Julian Moor... |
