Title: Crazy, stupid, love
Directed By: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa
Written by: Dan Fogelman
Starring: Emma Stone, Steve Carrell, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei and Ryan Gosling
The story opens with Ron (Carell) and Emily (Moore) a stagnating married couple who are in the midst of getting divorced, Emily’s cheated and broken Ron’s heart and left him with nothing but a size 44 suit when he’s actually a size 42. In walks mercurial lady’s man and tall glass of water Jacob (Gosling) who takes Ron under his wing and promises to make him better, faster, stronger and make his wife rue the day she ever cheated on him. Ron’s metamorphosis begins and in the process a number of new love interests develop including the baby sitter his son secretly has a crush on, a teacher (Tomei) and Hanna (Stone). Ron embarks on his journey of self-improvement which barricaded with comedic instances and a deep seated determination to get his wife back and prove that love really does exist.
Ficarra and Requa give a master class in directing Romantic Comedy and unpack an incredibly complicated love story in a matter of seconds, they don’t butcher Fogelman’s script either, but just let it be. Framing the most delicate moments intricately and allowing the mania of comedy and zest to explode in the same frame.
It’s filled with one million and one “aaah” moments and that tenderness and honesty you need in romantic films which make them believable yet at the same time enviable.
TKO
I give it 10 hoers.
