Film Review - Crazy, Stupid, Love


One of the best romcoms for years. Well cast, acutely observed and, most importantly, funny.

Yes it loses a star for falling foul of the romcom cliches (most irritatingly the big misunderstanding followed by the big public declaration of love) and of course you know how it's all going to end (well, mostly). However, as I've said before (with romcoms in particular), it ain't the destination, it's the ride, and this one had me grinning throughout.

Carell and Gosling make for a well-matched odd couple, and even Julianne Moore manages flashes of believability. But the undoubted star (again) is Emma Stone, who, based on this evidence, could even charm me into bed.
