An ensemble cast romantic comedy, Crazy Stupid Love is about a middle-aged man (Steve Carell) whose life is turned upside down when his wife (Julianne Moore) cheats on him with a work colleague (Kevin Bacon). Broken, he is taken under wing and reinvented by a suave player named Jacob (Ryan Gosling) who teaches him the art of picking up women. Meanwhile, a sharp and down-to-earth rebel (Emma Stone) disarms Jacob and he soon falls in love with her. Amongst all this are a few good laughs and it wraps up with an entertaining brawl between all the major characters as they all grow a little wiser. Beware though, for this one is a slow burner and it meanders constantly. Luckily, a mixed up soundtrack helps to stabilise the stories and for that it's worth a few looks.
