CRAZY STUPID LOVE

I for one make it a point to see movies that star my favorite actors, promise some laughs and, a good love story.  When the actors are Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore and, Emma Stone with some Marissa Tomei and Kevin Bacon thrown in,  I feel that no matter what the reviews say,  it is worth a watch.

Such is the case with CRAZY STUPID LOVE.  Most of the reviews I had read were lukewarm at best.  From the trailers you could easily sum up that Steve Carell is dumped by wife Julianne Moore.  He befriends Ryan Gosling, a smooth lounge lizard who takes him under his wing.  Meanwhile Gosling second guesses his lifestyle when he meets Stone.  I figured that the boys would get the girls in the end with some laughs along the way.

That's exactly what it was.  When have you ever seen a romantic comedy without a happy ending?  The actors delivered as always with an exceptional supporting cast.  What I didn't expect were some jaw dropping twists in the story.

CRAZY STUPID LOVE lasted a quick 1 hr. and 47 minutes.  Well worth the time and money.  I could easily watch it again.
