Critics Consensus: 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.

This is witless, saccharine and lifeless...
When a movie opens with a woman telling her husband that she wants a divorce after twenty-five years of marriage and it isn't played for laughs, you know you're not in for a "typical" Hollywood comedy...
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.
It gets better and funnier after a labored and lumbering start, which is entirely the opposite of most Hollywood comedies.
This is not the ultimate romantic comedy - the one that makes you fall as hard for the characters as they do for one another while savoring their every interaction - but it seems fresher and less recycled than much of the product out there.
This is the sort of film that Oscar generally ignores come awards season. It shouldn't. Crazy Stupid Love is a crazy smart film.
Crazy, Stupid, Love has a surprisingly mature script.
Madcap coincidences and an emotional speech in an unlikely situation ruin the tender tone the film worked so hard to achieve.
Excellent performances from Carell, Moore, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling... [Full review in Spanish]
The all-star cast is able to class up the situations to make them feel as funny and original as possible.
Overall, I enjoyed Crazy, Stupid, Love for what it was-a movie of moderate means and moderate ambitions that is made interesting by a strong ensemble cast...
While the film is rather jumpy with abrupt switches from scene to scene, the cast and the dialogue more than make up for any flaws. For a film about divorce, it's surprisingly funny and romantic.
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.
Super Reviewer
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.
