Crazy Stupid Love

I'm simply a Julianne Moore fan. She is such a versatile actress as well as beatiful. Beautiful in a classic, natural, sutil way; not in the Hollywood striking way. It's a great extent thanks to her, that movies like Far from heaven, The Hours, A single man and The kids are allright have achieved the level of perfection they have.

Crazy stupid love is not exactly a drama, or a film pretending an Oscar nomination (as she regularly does), but a movie portraying in a less dark way -come on, Steve Carell is there- the ups and dows of a marriage that seemed to be happy. Something many people can feel related to in different levels.

Steve Carell, as in Dan in real life, shows himself well set in this kind of deep tragicomic characters. I believe there lies his future as an actor.

The cast proves as a combination of good actors playing no-so-serious characters such as  Ryan Gosling, who seems to be better everytime. You only have to watch him in Blue Valentine as an aged, unmotivated man and then watch him here, as the perfect womanizer to prove his acting range, just to understand he will achieve any role he gets. Emma Stone (tomboy-laugh included), Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon complete the picture in a dramedy you should certainly enjoy.
