A rare romantic comedy with substance and heart

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2011)

This film is about the love life of a man after his wife asks for a divorce, as he gets groomed by a lady killer who can get any woman he wants.
"Crazy, Stupid, Love" is a lot of fun, with loads of really funny scenes. Steve Carell acts great as a romantically inept man, his social skills in a bar is so bad that it just makes you laugh. Ryan Gosling is so charming and attractive, I think he really carries his character off. And the teacher is wildly funny too. There are many romantic entanglements between the characters, and at the end, the whole situation is so crazy that it is just outrageously funny.
"Crazy, Stupid, Love" has got this other side as a semi-serious drama about love and how we treat our loved ones. The film seems to be happy and mischievous, and yet there are a few very touching scenes. I find the scene when Julianne Moore calls Steve Carell about the heater very touching. The scene where Steve Carell makes a speech at the end is even more touching. "Crazy, Stupid, Love" is a rare romantic comedy with substance and heart. I really like it.
