Crazy Stuped Love

For those who know my personality, im not a romantic casanova. Im terrible at coming up with ideas for romance, to make things simple, a romantic evening for me would be watching the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from 2003, with a Big Bite pizza from Biteline. So what do you say ladies, doesnt this sound super nice? So just imagine how much enjoy romantic comedies......But actually, i can enjoy some, if they actually are funny and have a intelligent script. With an incredible cast, Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei, Kevin Bacon, does Crazy Stuped Love deliver anything outside the usual romace package?

Cal Weaver ( Steve Carell ) have been married for over 20 years with his wife Emily Weaver ( Julianne Moore ). One evening while having dinner downtown, Emily tells Cal she wants a divorce. Shocked and confused, Cal is about to find out, she also slept with a working friend called David Lindhagen ( Kevin Bacon ). Cal leaves his cheating wife, and his kids, to get a new start. While depressed in a bar, he meets ladies man Jacob Palmer ( Ryan Gosling ). Jacob see how depressed Cal is over the situation, and makes a deal, he will help him become a new man. After some hard training, Cal finally gets it, that even he can be attractive to other women. But is this really what he wants`?

Crazy Stuped Love is suprisingly funny, it brings up all those things we all think about, do i need to change? Am i really happy with my life? And the biggest suprise is actually Steve Carell, this is his best performance in many years. His comic timing is really good. Ryan Gosling is also a suprise in this genre, usually we see him in much darker movies, but here he does a good performance as a true hustler, doing everything to remove new panties. There are some suprising twists in the story, wich makes Crazy Stuped Love a bit funnier than the usual romantic comedy. So, if youre gonna watch something romantic this year with someone you love, this would be a good choice. Just promise me to stay away from Kate Hudson.....
