A good blend of comedy and drama

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2011)

Cal(Steve Carell), a man in his mid 40's, who has the life most men would envy, he has a good marriage, and great relationship with his kids. But Cals good life quickly comes crashing down, when his wife Emily(Julianne Moore), asks for a divorce, cause she slept with a co-worker(Kevin Bacon). Emily is not proud of it, and feels it is like a mid life crisis, Cal quickly gives up and moves out, while at a bar, and drowning in his sorrows, he gets the attention of Jacob(Ryan Gosling) a real ladies man, who wants to help Cal, and help him get back in the dating game, but that quickly gets tested, when Jacob falls for Hannah(Emma Stone).
The trailer was so misleading, it made you feel like you where gonna route for just Steve Carell, but when you finally watch you're unsure who to route for, Steve Carell or Juliane Moore. I think they worked beautifully well together, you really believe the feelings the have for one another. And Ryan Gosling is quite a scene stealer, he has funny chemistry with Carell, and Stone. This was an enjoyable comedy/drama.
