Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Rating 7.5 out of 10

I had heard this was a good date movie.  I would say that is correct.  I liked this movie alot.  I think Steve Carell is made for a part like this.  Very funny in parts and touching in others.

Carell plays Cal Weaver.  A man in his mid-forties who thinks he is happily married until his wife tells him at dinner that she has cheated and want's a divorce.  He is blown away.  Trying to move on he starts to hang out in a local bar.  There he meets a younger smooth talking ladies man (Ryan Gosling) Jacob.  Jacob takes him under his wing and shows him how to pick up women.  He is a good teacher.  Except he falls for Hannah (the lovely Emma Stone) who is immune to his lines. The two men become friends and bond.

Acting is pretty good with Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei and the actors playing the kids are good. There are some funny parts.  I was laughing so loud a couple times Cassie tried to shush me.  I wouldn't call the movie a comedy as there are alot of serious parts too.

I wouldn't call this a great movie but compared with most of the junk that has been released this Summer this is a classic.  A good date movie.
