(Running time: 118 Minutes) Rated PG-13
Starring: Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Kevin Bacon, Marisa Tomei


This was both a hilarious and touching film, but not one for kids. Cal Weaver (Carell) is straight-laced, forty-something, married for 25 years when his wife tells him she wants a divorce and that she slept with someone from work. Cal is comatose when he hears the news and passively moves out of his house. But Cal is very much in love with his wife and his life is destroyed.

At a bar, he watches womanizer Jacob (Gosling) move in on women night after night after night. Jacob and Cal become friends and Jacob gives Cal a makeover. Cal gets in the groove of picking up women, too.

There are lots of complications between Jacob and Cal and Cal’s wife and the woman that Jacob meets. I can’t go further without spoiling the movie. Although I found Crazy, Stupid Love highly entertaining and one of the funniest movies in a long time, it is about sex and relationships, inappropriate for children under fourteen years old. There is no violence, but there is bad language. The movie has many sexual situations, though no nudity. While mostly funny, Crazy, Stupid Love is poignant in places and doesn’t tie everything up in a neat bow at the end, another aspect of the movie that I liked. Loved this movie.
