One of my all time favorites.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This is Crazy, This is Stupid, This is Love. With its dynamic mechanism, story, acting and soundtracks, "Crazy, Stupid Love" is one of the best films of romantic, comedy and drama genres. It is a film of good feelings and happy thoughts. It focuses on good, bad, sad and happy parts of relationships and love. From time to time, it takes you by surprise and, from time to time, you have the feeling like you are watching your own life. "Crazy, Stupid Love" is a piece from everyone's life. Each and every character in the film represents a feeling, therefore, interactions of the characters are meaningful, funny and highly entertaining. There are no bad characters in the film. When you think about it, nothing bad actually happens. There are only confused adults who find themselves back after wandering around for some time. Each character wishes only happiness for the other one. The characters are the strongest point of the film. They are not very deep but they are very meaningful and their stories are carefully crafted. Conversations are great and there is not even one character who stays out of the line. When these characters fit in the well-structured design of the film, you get to see a highly entertaining production. From main characters to the supporting roles each actor and actress contribute to the film with all their enthusiasm."Crazy, Stupid Love" is about love. It focuses on the problems of the routines of the marriage. It focuses on the struggles about finding true love or keeping it when you find it. It teaches us to fight for your soul mate and never give up on them. We learn this piece of advice from Cal (Steve Carell) and Emily's (Julianne Moore) son Robbie (Jonah Bobo). He is 13 years old and in love with their babysitter Jessica (Analeigh Tipton) who is 17 years old. As I said "Crazy, Stupid Love" is about all kinds of people, love and feelings. "Crazy, Stupid Love" is led by Steve Carell, he is the star of the film. Julianne Moore, as his wife Emily, she is cold and distant most of the time because of the phase she is going through, but as an actress she is successful in reflecting this phase to the audience. Ryan Gosling is a brilliant actor who can play any role without difficulty. He is not only handsome, but also extremely talented. When you look at his filmography, you are going to see that he has played diverse characters. He is not one of those actors who has limited talent and plays only one certain type of role. In "Crazy, Stupid Love" he plays Jacob, who helps Cal find his manhood again. In the meantime, he unexpectedly falls in love with Cal's oldest daughter Hannah (Emma Stone) and things get more complicated for everyone in a very amusing way. With her little role as Kate, Marisa Tomei is playing the role of a recovering alcoholic teacher, who is passionate and sexy. Her presence in the film has a direct effect on the success of the film. I just love the way she smiles, I just love the way she talks. That being said, Kevin Bacon as David Lindhagen, plays the role of the co-worker of Emily, who slept with her. He also has a relatively small part in the film but just like Marisa Tomei, his presence manages to change the course of the film. When you look at these actors, you are going to see that, "Crazy, Stupid Love" is full of well known, famous actors and actresses. Even from this, we get to see that this film is based on characters. Their performances make the difference in the film. When these brilliant performances are accompanied by a delightful story, you get successful film like "Crazy, Stupid Love".The film opens with Cal and Emily in a restaurant, when they try to decide over a dessert, Emily says she wants a divorce. After that, Cal moves out, he starts to hang out at a bar where he meets Jacob, a highly stylish womanizer, and starts to shape himself up and fights to get his wife and life back. Cal's transformation shows us the fact that even in marriages like his, where the couple love each other, you need to change yourself. You should always renew yourself, because when a relationship falls into routine, it is very hard to recover from it. You can pretty much guess how the story is going to end, but, because of the great techniques used by the directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, you get a lot of surprising turnings in the story, because the directors don't reveal everything from the beginning. We get to know the characters like they are not related and this is the reason why "Crazy, Stupid Love" is a surprising and therefore a funny film.From soundtracks to the performances, from story to its structure, "Crazy, Stupid Love" is one of the best films of its genres. It is both funny and real. This story can happen to anyone, that's why "Crazy, Stupid Love's" level of credibility is as high as the success of the film.

I just reviewed "Battle of the Sexes" so it made me think of this film. I have watched Crazy, Stupid, Love several times and it gets funnier every time! Yes, I stole the line from "BeetleJuice" which is another good one! The dynamic between Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell is just great! There are so many scenes between the two where I wondered if they came up with lines on the spot. If anyone still hasn't watched this and if you like comedy, this is a keeper.

A man's wife leaves him and he has to start over in the dating world in middle age. So far, so 'Two and a Half Men'. This actually is a comedy starring Steve Carell, that people are rediscovering now, based on the fact that it stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, who have danced their way into the public's hearts via 'La La Land'.It's a decent enough film. Quite why the review on the DVD box claims it's better than 'Love Actually' I don't know, but it's amiable enough.My main problem with it is that it doesn't seem to know whether it's going for heart-warming or lewd in terms of its humour. It flits between the two and ends up being neither properly.A talented cast do their best with a so-so film.

there is an old saying- "if you throw enough s**t at a wall, some of it will stick..." and that is what Hollywood is doing almost constantly these days.Like accountants they calculate- "Ryan Gosling, plus Emma Stone, plus Julianne Moore, plus Steve Carell... this movie should gross $300 million... (and it did only $143 million)" This is an unimaginative and uninspired 'formula movie' that you will swear you have seen before, and it's easy to understand why.Carell plays an identical character to his depressed-loser from 'Little Miss Sunshine' meets his no-idea loser characters from 'the Forty Year Virgin' and 'the Office'. At this point he's just turning up and reading lines, occasionally raising or lowering his volume.Gosling has been told by the media that he is gods gift to women and is creepily vomitus in his- 'cool person does a makeover on a loser' roll (hasn't that been done to death already?).Kevin Bacon? I'm embarrassed for the guy, he's an A-list actor playing a C-list doofus supporting role? I suspect Kyra Sedgwick made him do it for losing a bet.Stone can do better than this, she was amazing in 'Birdman' and so lovable as 'Gwen Stacy' but just punches the time-card here.It has that sickly- 'every story/character is separate, but all connected with a twist by the end' template that has become so overused in all of the "Day" movies (Valentines, Mother's, New Year's etc.)' and every Rom-com since 'Love Actually'. It's so choreographed, your eyes will roll like a cartoon character at the predictability of this script that was obviously written with a 'scriptwriters template program' (probably the 'Love Actually' template?).This is a- 'straight to DVD' type movie, that I hope you have someone willing to make-out with while you watch, or a lot of drinks choke down this very ordinary Steve Carell joint.
