Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Really good comedy, following the typical situations but with fresh unexpected turns.

Crazy, Stupid, Love creates contradictory feelings with inconsistent values and judgments, spending too much time glorifying activity that it later condemns. Crazy, Stupid, Love had me conflicted. So here are my likes and dislikes since its hard to untangle my feelings for a cohesive review: > Pros: > - The relationship between Steve Carrell and Ryan Gosling's characters is a unique take on friendship not generally seen in movies, with the characters challenging each other to move beyond their current circumstances and grow. > - There were some surprising plot twists I didn't see coming that kept a longer rom-com more engaging and interesting than expected. > - Cal's love and yearning for his family, no matter the hurt and heartbreak they caused, was truly endearing. > - Steve Carrell is always a pro, a true gem of a human being. > > Cons: > I should have expected it, but the movie's trivialization of sexual relationships was frustrating. Women were treated poorly and disrespected. It is hard to "root" for characters that are that self-centered and arrogant. > - I was annoyed with the inconsistency of how the film treated characters' failures and indiscre

Love this movie. This was just like my break up except the babysitter. Really hilarious though. Very entertaining!
