Much of that is down to a superior ensemble cast, which pairs the ever reliable Steve Carell with rising stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, together with other accomplished performers like Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon and Marisa Tomei.
Carell plays a nice but dull forty-something who is dumped by his wife (Moore) for a work colleague (Bacon). Drowning his sorrows, he gains the sympathy of cool bachelor Gosling, who gives him a fashion makeover and teaches him how to successfully navigate the singles’ scene (read: cruise bars for one night stands).
Meanwhile, a law student (Stone) – who has previously rejected the advances of Gosling – is beginning to have second thoughts about her boyfriend (Josh Groban), while unbeknownst to Carell, his teenage babysitter (Analeigh Tipton) has a crush on him. And just to complicate things even further, Carell’s 13-year-old son (Jonah Bobo) has a crush on her.
Inevitably, this tangled web of relationships collide in the most unexpected and entertaining ways.
STARRING: Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei, Kevin Bacon
Extras: • Steve and Ryan Walk Into a Bar (BD) • The Player Meets His Match (BD) • Deleted Scenes (DVD & BD)
Did You Know...? The cocktail that Ryan Gosling’s character drinks and makes throughout the movie is an “Old Fashioned”, considered by some historians to be the first American cocktail. Also, Robbie’s class is studying The Scarlet Letter. This novel is the basis for Emma Stone’s previous movie Easy A.

Subject: Crazy, Stupid, Love
Crazy, Stupid, Love. As the movie title suggests there is a little of all three which features throughout.
It takes you through the trials and tribulations of that thing we call love.
It’s like six degrees of Kevin Bacon in this movie, with a chain of events leading to an unexpected twist in the end.
This witty movie will keep you laughing and smiling from beginning to end.
Guys and gals alike would be sure to enjoy. It’s a must-see if not only for the guest appearance of Gosling’s exceptional abdominals for the ladies and for the light-hearted humour for the gents.
