It never lives up to the first part of its title, but Crazy, Stupid, Love's unabashed sweetness -- and its terrifically talented cast -- more than make up for its flaws.

Steve Carell sets aside his goofball schtick for a more earthy role in this satisfying, mature ensemble romantic dramedy. Oct 18, 2011 | Rating: 3.5/5

It ties its strands together a touch too tightly two-thirds of the way through - but still leaves enough hanging at the end to be credible. Sep 22, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There's strong, fleetingly powerful stuff in Crazy, Stupid, Love., but like its awkwardly punctuated title, the movie jerks to a halt just when it's beginning to flow. Aug 4, 2011 | Rating: B-

It gets better and funnier after a labored and lumbering start, which is entirely the opposite of most Hollywood comedies. Jul 31, 2011

A rom-com that actually feels genuine and real. Sure, there's some grandiose gestures and ridiculous speeches that kind of made me flinch, but overall - this film got it right. Mar 4, 2019 | Full Review…

There is at least one good story surprise here, some real laughs and strong performances. Unfortunately, these are accompanied by a lot of much less worthwhile stuff that makes Crazy, Stupid, Love something of a slog for much of its running time. Feb 8, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

An average romantic comedy that boasts a terrific cast, especially Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling, who is clearly one of the most versatile actors of his generation. Despite some silly moments that threaten to bog down the story, it is touching enough to be worth it.

Your enjoyment of this film probably depends on your tolerance level for romance and the notion of The One. While there are some genuinely funny parts, mostly thanks to Carell, the film sometimes treads water when it's getting too serious or self-important. Thankfully, some of the romantic parts work too, especially Gosling and Stone's date, who have a good chemistry together. In the end the movie picks up speed again and surprises with a pretty decent twist, but easily could have been 15 minutes shorter altogether. It's refreshing to see Gosling in a somewhat light-hearted role for a change, though. Overall entertaining and with its heart at the right spot, albeit a bit naive.
Apart from disliking the casting, the film was okay as a drama. I presumed that it's a rom-com. The com part would have helped getting some light moments. Alas, it's just one of those romantic drama that's neither great nor trashy.
[img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] Funnier and edgier than any romantic comedy i've seen in a while. However I would have expected nothing less, the directors of I Love You Philip Morris were involved and frankly I think they are both geniuses. They understand comedic timing as does it's hugely talented cast who give great performances all around. I did think it was baggy at times and featured more than enough sugar coating but I thought the original premise and the laughs to be had with it easily made up for the large amount of flaws. Engaging and emotionally involving, there is plenty of fun to be had with it. It's not as crazy, tragic or heartwarming as I Love You Phillip Morris which is an absolute masterpiece but considering how it counts itself as a mainstream comedy I was blown away at how profound and intelligent it was. Forget all the garbage like Marley and Me and New Year's Eve, you want something uplifting and heartwarming that will make you laugh and whimper, watch this movie. A real pleasant surprise of a film, a romantic comedy that I liked, but didn't love.
