Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Steve Carell’s new movie is a well-mixed combination of comedy and (family) drama.

If Steve Carell’s in it, it’s got to be funny right? Right. Steve Carell could easily be ranked near the top of  the comedic Hollywood actors/producers. And surely this time, he did not let our hopes down. Crazy, Stupid, Love could be labeled as a comedic drama or a dramatic comedy, which better suits your style, but undoubtedly the movie delivers several laughs, intense emotional scenes, and romantic (though funny) love scenes.

Each character is unique, deep. and dynamic. Even Ryan’s character Jacob Palmer who seems to appear as a typical shallow, spoiled, overly dressed show-off at first proves to be otherwise in the end. Steve Carell’s interactions with other characters (mostly Ryan’s) is definitely the cause of the comedy side. But when it’s time to be serious, all the cast shows promising performances, and pulls you closer to the screen as if you’re a part of the intense scene. I’ve got to admit, though, that I did get frustrated at times with the kid, Jonah Bobo, not because of him, but because of his outstanding performance of his character.

“Crazy, Stupid, Love” is definitely a good choice to get some good laughs.
