Crazy Stupid Love

ono · May 21, 2011, 11:46:28 PM

Saw a little preview on SNL.

From IMDb: "A father's life unravels while he deals with a marital crisis and tries to manage his relationship with his children."

Stars Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone. Sounds good. I want to go to there.

Opens July 29th.

As it turns out, this is great. Great cast doing great work, great camera, great music, mostly great writing, minus a handful of not-so-great cliched moments and a couple of credibility-straining contrivances, but mostly just great. One of the rare movies that has both comedy and drama without feeling like one is being forced for the sake of the other. This will probably end up being a top-ten of the year for me.

Ryan Gosling is in everything right now.

There's a moment in the trailer where Emma Stone strides purposefully through a bar, high fives a nearby girl, then hurls herself into Gosling's arms. Seemed like such a nicely handled moment that it made me want to see the film by itself.

Trailer or gtfo.

I'm hesitant to even post this, because it gives up way too much, and frankly doesn't make it look as good as the movie actually is. But I don't want to gtfo, so here.

Carrell should stick to stuff like this/Dan in real life and stay out of slapstick.

Perfect couple film. Both loved it. Saw afterwards Trust, with Clive Owen and Catherine Keener and a little 15 year old who pulls a Oscar nom worthy performance imho. It's directed by David Shwimmer. A bit TLC/Hallmark/whatever feel but still very good I thought. Ebert said it was one of the year's best film and all other critics destroyed it basically. Isn't thread-worthy so, yeah.

We can assume he meant his girlfriend of many years.

Unless he fucked that girl.

Hahaha! The girlfriend.

I haven't fucked that girl, 50/50 from fidelity/her fidelity to her husband. though I have received from her sms regarding subjects ranging from her mastery of deepthroating to her proficiency with cunnilingus.

sorry for thread derail

I liked it a lot though the girl I went with couldn't overlook the rom com cliches.

I loved this movie and not just because 2 of my fav. redheads were in this film. It genuinely moved me and had me smiling by the end just like a great blow job. I wanna be this all the time when I go to the movies.
