Crazy, Stupid, Love

Crazy, Stupid, LoveThe Gist: When his marriage suddenly ends, Cal finds himself befriending a lothario who takes pity on him and decides to teach him how to get back in the game.  The many connections that follow their tale will eventually all come together in the end.

Steve Carell, an expert at comedy, finds a perfect counterpart in Ryan Gosling, an extremely versatile actor who reliably turns in great work.  Julianne Moore and Emma Stone are equally good, and cameos from Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon complete the well rounded casting.

The Bottom Line: Crazy, Stupid, Love is a funny comedy, well constructed around time worn themes that are expertly intertwined in a throwback to the best tradition of Hollywood’s time-proven comedic canon.

Grade: 7
