Wordiezett So much average
Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
adonis98-743-186503 A middle-aged husband's life changes dramatically when his wife asks him for a divorce. He seeks to rediscover his manhood with the help of a newfound friend, Jacob, learning to pick up girls at bars. Crazy, Stupid, Love benefits from it's talented and amazing cast, the great and hilarious perfomance, terrific direction and great chemistry between the leads alongside a beautiful soundtrack plus great character development in Carrell's character and loved Jonah Bobo as Robbie. (8.5/10)
Lili 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.
zkonedog 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.
blumdeluxe "Crazy, Stupid, Love" begins like one of these typical Hollywood comedies. A couple that's about to divorce, a man exploring himself, a dysfunctional family, nothing we haven't seen a thousand films about already.And in a way it is one. It convinces through a massive cast, throws with cheesy monologues and "Aw"-moments. But that's just half the story. This movie is more. Not only is it actually quite funny, much more so than many of the comparable films, it also develops a very intermingled plot that leads into a both absurd and beautiful ending.The characters are likable, maybe not very multidimensional, but still somewhat heart-warming. There are some pearls in the soundtrack and small gags in the right spots. Sure, there are also features that are a bit too much the typical cinema release and in many ways, "Crazy, Stupid, Love" is not a very creative film.But nonetheless I really liked it. While I was still a bit unsure during the first half, the second half could even increase the paste a bit and entertained me just as I hoped for. Nothing to change your mind or worldview. But something to change your evening or mood maybe.
