"Crazy, Stupid, Love" is Great

"Crazy, Stupid, Love" is great. It tells the story of Cal, played by Steve Carrell. Cal is split from his wife in his mid forties and does not know what to do. His wife, Emily, played by Julianne Moore, cheated on Cal with a more powerful good looking man and it kills Cal. After weeks of being depressed he decides to go out to a bar. At the bar he meets Jacob, played by Ryan Gosling. Jacob is a ladies man that is good at getting girls, so he decides to Cal get out of his funk. After having a few one night stands, Cal seems to feel better. He starts to help his son with his relationship problems, and finds out his daughter, Hannah, played by Emma Stone, has found love. Everything is great until Cal finds out who Hannah is dating, he has come to reality about his new life, and find out what he really wants.

This film is great, and has an amazing cast. The son in this film Jonah Bobo was great, and watching this film we really feel for him when he is going through his first love. Emma Stone is always great in films. She is beautiful, funny, and great at what she does, and always a great add on in films. Julianne Moore was incredible for this also. She is always great in her roles, and it we felt for her also in this film, even though she was considered the "bad guy" in the relationship. Ryan Gosling is one of my favorite actors. He is fantastic in all of his roles, and in this film he was also very funny. And of course Steve Carrell did amazing. He is a great actor because he can play dramatic and comedic roles, and thats what makes a good actor, being able to play mutliple types of roles. Go see this film, you won't regret it.

Grade = 85/100 = B
