(8.5/10)

Most rom-coms fill clichéd ,youve seen that before,there's no originality that goes in them.Just recycling something that worked before.That's where Crazy Stupid love comes in that is not only dares to be different but cares for its characters and I suspect that is why a lot of the talented cast signed up for it.Steven Carell is charming perfect and I think this might his best role yet.The rest of the cast is equally amazingThe dialogue is also well written and has a theme underneath all the laughs.That being said its not a perfect movie,but it is a really enjoyable and refreshing watch.

Usually, I'm not a huge fan of this rom-com genre. There are just too many opportunities for films of this nature to go astray, from acting to story to ridiculousness. Fortunately, "Crazy Stupid Love" doesn't fall prey to those traps and instead provides a tight, stylish, funny, and even moving production that appeals to a broad range of movie-watchers.For a basic plot summary, "Crazy Stupid Love" sees a middle-aged couple (played by Steve Carell & Julianne Moore) get a sudden divorce, shaking their family to the core. Concurrently, a suave love-guru (Ryan Gosling) takes Carell's sad-sack character and tries to turn him into a ladies man, all the while pursuing a mysterious, fresh-faced girl (Emma Watson) who is unlike any girl he has met before.The calling-card of this flick is its ability to carry multiple plot lines over the duration of the film until they all converge in the end. There is never a shortage of things going on, all related to the central concept of the "craziness of love".The acting has to be great for a movie like this to succeed, and that is exactly what we get here. While all the actors are impressive in their own right, it's their chemistry that really shines here. By the end, all of the major players have interacted with each other, and it all comes off seamlessly.The "polish" of this film is also impressive. Everything is just so slick, from the dialogue to the clothing and especially the young cast members (Gosling & Stone, in particular). In short, this movie lacks nothing in the production-value department.Overall, then, "Crazy Stupid Love" is a film that can be enjoyed by teens on up for a variety of different reasons. I watched primarily for Carell's acting, but was quickly drawn in by the innocent beauty of Stone and the slickness of Gosling. I'm sure you'll find a reason to be sucked in as well.

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.
