  This would of been a really good rom com if there wasnt that side story with that creepy ass kid.

  I thought that Crazy, Stupid, Love was without a doubt an extremely funny and surprisingly touching and heartwarming dramedy.

   

  I give it a Full Price!!

  I agree the film certainly had problems, and some of the problems you guys had with it I had too (Emma Stone's character) but I also thought the movie took things in interesting directions, and that 5 minute weird reunion/brawl at the house was so crazy it was awesome. Although Kevin Bacon showing up right then strained credulity.

      But overall I thought it was a surprising and enjoyable film, albeit with some serious flaws that stopped it from being great.

   

  And was it just me, or was the the babysitter giving the nude photos to a 13 YEAR OLD a little on the creepy side?

  I actually enjoyed this movie a lot, my wife did also.  Even the audience seemed to as well in my screening at least.  And this was at one of the smaller, indie/art theaters in my town, not the mega-plex.  While I do agree that the characters were a bit overpopulated, and a few of the "character collision" set pieces were somewhat forced, I felt that almost all of them rang true on some level.  Steve Carrell's performance at times was really heartbreaking in his lonely scenes, and even more so in the ones with Julianne Moore. 

   

  The main target of this movie was of course veterans of long-term relationships, and I think it is most relatable for us.  There is always that unspoken fear that the one you've come to rely on for years could just change their mind and leave you.  So for some of us, this is practically a horror movie.  As for as the younger characters, the chain of unrequited love was a bit convenient in terms of a realistic story, but still very relatable.  I think we have all had crushes with absolutely no hope of being realized, but carried them anyhow, just not so publicly!

   

  I also liked Gosling's hipster character, his motive for helping Carrell to the extent he does took a bit of a leap for me, but once I went with it, the scenes were quite funny.  There was an audible gasp and even a small round of applause in my theater when he removed his shirt in that one scene with Emma Stone.  So I couldn't help but call out with a Riley Freeman-esque "boo" for my fellow less-than-perfect guys sitting in there.  My obvious sour grapes got a huge laugh from everyone!  Wait that didn't sound right.... pause!

   

  Anyway, I think this film has more to say to some audience members depending on where they are in their own relationships.  I think the comparison to Love, Actually is very accurate.  Much like that, CSL is not perfect, sometimes disjointed, but from scene to scene quite entertaining, gut-wrenching, and often very funny.

  I saw this last night and It was like 40 year old virgin and Love Actually mixed together. I was actually really good. I went in expecting a rental at best it was definitely a High Matinee -Middle Full Price film. The acting was FANTASTIC,  the character development was there, and I know this is going to sound sooo cheesy, but as a person in love, it was really touching.  I would have like to see more Emma Stone subplot and probably less Jessica the Babysitter. I however though Annaleigh Tipton did great as the baby sitter considering she stared as a model on Americas next top model. And girl would really enjoy this, a guy that doesn't have a frozen heart may really enjoy this as well. :-D

  Just saw it, u guys got it right.

  I just saw this movie and it was pretty good. Would give it a matinee because it is rare that I feel a rom-com is full price. But considering what is out there, not a bad movie to go to. I felt it was well acted across the board. The babysitter stuff was a little weird just because they didn't need to dive too much into it. Ryan Gosling made this movie though, wish it was just about his character because early on they make him seem so fictional that he has to exist.

   

  Didn't know this movie pissed in Spill's cornflakes but that is their opinion.

  As much as Korey is Captain Matinee. The Dark Knight Return is Captain Full Price.

• July 30, 2011 at 7:25 PM, said ...

  This is a Full price movie, I do agree with u guys about the babysitters sub plot being unnecessary and annoying but i enjoyed everything else about the movie.

  Sounds more like "Fucking Stupid Love".

  I do agree on some things though...like how its pretty unbalanced at times...and MAINLY...Emma Stone. She is great but, besides the trick they pull in the end, her subplot is really unecessary. Especially all the Josh Groban parts w/ her...it just never served much of a purpose. Her character does, but not that side of her character.

  Still, although it was unbalanced at times, overall, it comes together in the end and i forgive it for those flaws. compared to a lot of romantic comedies, it does have a good balance though.

  They did happen to make one of the most cliche climaxes...turn into a very moment in the backyard. It was pretty damn random, cliche, and a little over-doing it..but..for me it worked.

  I did like the trailer, but I gotta disagree with "the trailer showed all the best parts"...for me, almost all the scenes shown in the trailer were the least funniest parts...because theres just so much humor throughout. Plenty of good laughs that aren't ever spoiled in the trailer.

  I guess for a Summer where all the good movies are action packed films w/out many good characters (ok besides Harry Potter, X-Men and a few others)...this felt like a breath of fresh air, or i should say, a cliche of fresh air.

  I gotta say, just saw it during a matinee and I never really had any problems with it. Definitely not amazing or anything..but it had a lot of funny moments, each actor did their best, never bored me, and a lot of it was pretty heartfelt. It had some cliche moments and was very predictable (ok well except a part at the end which I thought worked well). Besides that...I'd honestly have to give this a low Full Price.

  Even though it was a matinee, If I saw it at night, I would have felt just as satisfied.

  @palehorsewc2, you can have an opinion, but not one I respect.

• July 29, 2011 at 11:23 PM, Ray Elios said ...

  I think I'm gonna see this anyway. The cast is great, RT has a positive score, and the Spill guys didn't totally hate it. Good enough for me!
