Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Crazy, Stupid, Love." is an American movie from 2011, so it had its 5th anniversary last year. It runs for almost two hours and was directed by Ficarra/Requa, who have collaborated on quite a few projects in the last two decades. The writer is Dan Fogelman and he was mostly busy with animated films before this one here, but it may be his most famous work now. One reason for that is the cast that includes so many known names, three Oscar winners even. I will not say the names as you can check the list for yourself, but what makes this one interesting in 2017 is that Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone from "La La Land" play a couple in here as well. The core subject in this 120-minute movie is love and the complicated ways into and out of it. Divorce is involved, unrequited love, parental love, love that isn't really love because it's all about sex etc. So you could think that this is a decent movie to watch with your significant other. Yes and no I would say. It is without a doubt entertaining to watch from start to finish and it is easy to care for what happens next to the characters. Also the film does not take paths in terms of the unrequited love segments I mentioned earlier that would have felt unrealistic. But all it does right there, it does wrong on other occasions. For me a good comedy/drama always has to fulfill at least a basic component of realism (unless it is a fantasy film, I guess) and there were 4-5 moments when this one doesn't and the people who made this sacrificed realism for entertaining/crucial plot twists. The worst example is probably when we find out about the parents of Stone's character. Another example would be Carell's character's final speech at the school that feels really as if it takes itself way too seriously and it hurt the film. What is also crucial is how important these moments were for the movie itself and that's why it was even more devastating to see how things really went wrong there. Another example would be when the teenage girl finds the younger boy's comments at the end actually flattering after being annoyed by them throughout the entire film or when he starts talking in front of the entire school about his masturbation techniques. It is American Pie level (I mean that in a bad way) there and these moments really destroyed all the good from other scenes. It's such a shame how it turned out eventually and I cannot give this film a thumbs-up because the lowest lows are really much more significant than the highest highs (if there were any at all). Also Ryan Gosling was definitely not deserving of a Golden Globe nomination here. He is forgettable in the first half of the film and mediocre in the second. Also he is clearly supporting. Overall, a thumbs-down from me. Pretty overrated film that does not deserve to be half s popular as it actually is.

MichiSo Couldn't watch past 30 minutes of this movie. I found it very offensive (to men but especially to women) from a woman's perspective. It sells the idea that every woman will go to bed with any guy that is suited up and has nice shoes and slick hair. It becomes pretty predictable that Cal will deal with his failing marriage by becoming a womanizer and going to bed with random women he will 'learn' to pick up thanks to a stranger. The little backstory we get as to why his marriage falls apart is incredibly shallow. He actually refuses to even talk about it. Very empty, unlikable characters. Not a romantic movie, not a comedy movie. I hope this is a satire towards relationships and women/men and I just didn't get it, because if not, there's something really wrong with it.

Nikita Wannenburgh I admit, I would never have wanted to see this movie if it hadn't been for the amazing cast that caught my eye. Romantic comedy just isn't my kind of movie.What I Liked: The cast definitely made the movie worth watching. In fact, the film would have sucked without the likes of Steve Carell, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei and Julianne Moore. Carell's comic timing is excellent, Stone and Gosling's chemistry beautifully on point, Moore and Tomei's acting strongly committed to their characters. The end/climax "fight/confrontation was the best thing about the movie. It was funny, busy, outrageous, and satisfying. I loved it.What I Didn't Like: Everything was watered-down; the comedy, in particular. As a whole, the film felt bland, very boring, and the cinematography was equally dull and lifeless. I was very bored until that end confrontation. I barely laughed, I barely smiled, and I even considered turning the film off. It was boring. Just to bear in mind, this film was prompting all the wrong things: adultery, unhealthy fixation, sleeping with whoever you like whenever you like, and it was, some times very much so, sexist. A number of times the attitude displayed from the men was "if you want it, get it." More accurately, "if you want her, get her." Admittedly, it ended well with everyone realising their mistakes and changing that original attitude slightly. The adultery didn't win, nor did the playboy lifestyle. Carell and Moore's characters reconciled, which was a refreshing take on what you'd expect, and Gosling's character finally realised the error of his ways and started a healthy relationship with Stone's character. Crazy, Stupid, Love was a twist on what you'd usually expect from a story like this, but to fully work it needed more humour and more action.

grantss Surprisingly good, especially for a romantic-comedy, as the bar is set very low in this genre. It's more the comedy than the romance that works though. Very funny, and at times a parody of rom-coms. Gets a bit silly and contrived at times but thankfully these moments don't last long. Ending is also a bit trite and unprofound, despite seeming to be heading for something big.Great performances all round. Steve Carell does his usual nerdy guy- next-door thing, Ryan Gosling is perfectly cast as the smooth operator, Emma Stone is great as his love interest. Solid work from Julianne Moore and good support from Analeigh Tipton, Kevin Bacon, Marisa Tomei and Jonah Bobo.
