an all-time favourite romantic comedy

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2012)

I loved this movie. It was funny, sweet, heartfelt and showed character growth and maturity. I love Steve Carell and he does an amazing job as per usual. Ryan Gosling's character's transformation was amazing. Julianne Moore's character did a great job showing the difficulties and how confusing love and marriage can be sometimes. Emma Stone was sweet, funny, cute and did a great job. The young son of Steve Carell was heartfelt, adorable and really added to the movie. The ending actually surprised me, not sure if it was just me but I am never usually surprised in romantic comedies. Nothing too sappy, nothing too inappropriate or raunchy. The movie was almost 2 hours long but did not feel like it. For a large cast they pulled all the characters together very well. The character's stories are realistic making it a great movie. Not a chick flick just for women, Gosling and Carell's character's relationship is funny for all. This is a great movie for anyone to watch and portrays how crazy people really are when they are in love.
