Rating: 9/10 (9 September 2014)

This was a good romantic comedy and a good role for Steve Carrell. It is also one of those movies where the cast works well together. It starts off with his wife (Julianne Moore) asking him for a divorce. Everyone then hears about her affair with Kevin Bacon's character. Ryan Gosling overhears everything and proceed to "coach" him on approaching women in bars. Meanwhile, his son has a crush on his older babysitter who has a similar crush on Carrell, and Emma Stone thinks she's getting somewhere with here beau. I especially liked Kevin Bacon's role.
I think this was funny from start to finish. My favorite scenes were the Scarlet Letter scene in the classroom, the "scaffold" scene, and the misunderstanding scene at the end. Overall, this was a really good comedy. You will definitely love this movie if you see it!
