I’m not sure how Crazy, Stupid, Love. has slipped past my radar, despite all that punctuation. It’s a romantic comedy starring Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling (Lars and the Real Girl, Half Nelson), Emma Stone, Kevin Bacon (Guiding Light), and Marisa Tomei; written by the Dan Fogelman (Tangled, Bolt, Cars); and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the writer-directors behind criminally-underseen I Love You, Phillip Morris (not to mention the writers of Bad Santa, which is one of my favorite comedies of the last twenty years).
