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.

I saw this film trending on my twitter a while ago as it was on TV and saw some great comments on it so I decided to give it a go..I was quite disappointed especially knowing this is some people's go to movie but i wasn't feeling it. there were some funny bits here and there but i felt like it dragged on longer than it needed and truthfully i found some bits quite cringe worthy.. i was hopping it would be better as its got some of my favorite actors on it but sometimes the acting alone just isn't enough.

Crazy, Stupid, Love gets you laughing, cringing, involved and emotionally engrossed... And while it's busy getting all of that right, it hits you with a twist that's arguably Stupid, but it is so Crazy how the directors hid it in plain sight that, you just have to Love it.Steve Carell I've always felt, is an actor that possesses many of the qualities I rarely ever admire in an actor, however, every time I see him do what he does, I inexplicably respect him that little bit more.The plot is mainly around a couple named the Weavers, and fittingly, the subplots are so nicely woven in, that the final spouts' explosion came together almost like soulmates.The cast is superb. Gosling's opening scene at the mall is so smooth, you can't wait to see what he's going to do for Cal's transformation. Carell is fun to watch throughout, and he doesn't drop the ball. Moore, Emma and Marisa are also a wonderful addition, to a script that does a really sterling job at mixing laughter, sadness, and drama, with a subtle, but nicely expressed sense of humility.This movie was crazy, a little stupid, and about love; and it did it all without being too excessive, and pretty well grounded.

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.
