one of my absolute favorites!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Well, it's a bit "meh", actually. There are some nice scenes from time to time, but it's all a bit empty. For a film with "love" in its title, there is precious little affection displayed here. I can't help but feel sorry for Marisa Tomei's character, who gets used and dumped in such a heartless way. Difficult to enjoy and even more difficult to recommend.
I just reviewed "Battle of the Sexes" so it made me think of this film. I have watched Crazy, Stupid, Love several times and it gets funnier every time! Yes, I stole the line from "BeetleJuice" which is another good one! The dynamic between Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell is just great! There are so many scenes between the two where I wondered if they came up with lines on the spot. If anyone still hasn't watched this and if you like comedy, this is a keeper.
I saw this film trending on my twitter a while ago as it was on TV and saw some great comments on it so I decided to give it a go..I was quite disappointed especially knowing this is some people's go to movie but i wasn't feeling it. there were some funny bits here and there but i felt like it dragged on longer than it needed and truthfully i found some bits quite cringe worthy.. i was hopping it would be better as its got some of my favorite actors on it but sometimes the acting alone just isn't enough.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this movie at the theater,but I am really glad I did. The characters are well played out, not very likable at first, but after you get to know the cast, you really feel for everyone. I thought Julianne Moore & Steve Carrell had great chemistry with their relationship. Super script, nice directing, great casting with Robbie, the son. This movie will surprise you at how good it is. I loved how you saw the characters at work, at home, at the bar & with their friends. This was very well played out & comes together in the end extremely well. Ryan Gosling is very hot even when he is sleazy. Great date night movie!!
