Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Julianne Moore are the stars of drama/romance/comedy Crazy Stupid Love. A story about a man whose world is altered after what should have been a romantic dinner date with his wife becomes something else entirely.

Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, I tuned in because of Carell and Moore’s reputations; luckily, I found myself pleasantly surprised.

A big highlight for me is the scene with the valedictorian speech. That, and Gosling’s character, Jacob’s fashion sense.

I say watch Crazy Stupid Love for a reminder that humour is tragedy plus time. You’ll go through some emotions, but you will certainly laugh as well.

Along with The Notebook (2004), Crazy, Stupid, Love is without a doubt responsible for a good number of Ryan Gosling crushes.

Happy Film Loving,
