I'll tell you why so serious

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I think you just have to go straight ahead and watch it. Yeah, it is not ideal, but you definitely would not regret spending your time on this.

The ironic and embarrassing thing is, the person I was watching this with knows how relatable the theme of "finding your one true soul mate" is currently. This will be difficult to review without affecting me personally, but when a film does that to you it just goes to show how powerful the art can be. We follow a variety of characters as they explore the emotion of love. A middle aged couple going through a divorce, a babysitter who has fallen for her employee, a young boy who's in love with the babysitter, a promiscuous dating expert who eventually finds "the one" and a young woman hoping for a proposal. Eventually, we find that these characters interlink in a sprawling narrative detailing the joys and sorrows of love. Despite all that, the biggest element that resonated with me the most was to never give up fighting for the one you love. And I know the person this refers to in my life will read this review, and I know they will do everything in their power to not acknowledge my true feelings...but it's worth fighting for right? Absolutely, and the film conveys that message eloquently, particularly in the third act which I did not see coming at all. I literally shouted "no...nooo...NOOO!" as one character attempts to regain a form of relationship, albeit goes terribly wrong. The narrative consistently switches between characters, reminiscent of the classic rom com 'Love Actually', which keeps the pacing interesting. Acting was emotionally investing from everyone. Ryan Gosling shows us that his comedic timing is excellent, Steve Carell is able to perform some dramatic scenes and Julianne Moore is always dependable. Emma Stone's character needed a larger amount of screen time, I felt her character was unevenly balanced. We see practically nothing of her in the first two acts and then she becomes the main attraction in the third. It just meant I hadn't warmed to her like I did with the other characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this though, I laughed, teared up and smiled. Love hurts dammit!

I just reviewed "Battle of the Sexes" so it made me think of this film. I have watched Crazy, Stupid, Love several times and it gets funnier every time! Yes, I stole the line from "BeetleJuice" which is another good one! The dynamic between Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell is just great! There are so many scenes between the two where I wondered if they came up with lines on the spot. If anyone still hasn't watched this and if you like comedy, this is a keeper.

I saw this film trending on my twitter a while ago as it was on TV and saw some great comments on it so I decided to give it a go..I was quite disappointed especially knowing this is some people's go to movie but i wasn't feeling it. there were some funny bits here and there but i felt like it dragged on longer than it needed and truthfully i found some bits quite cringe worthy.. i was hopping it would be better as its got some of my favorite actors on it but sometimes the acting alone just isn't enough.
