Last week, I went to see a movie that I knew little about. I knew the title of the movie, although I could never remember if Crazy or Stupid went first. I knew that Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling and Julianne Moore were in it. I knew that it was a romantic comedy. And, well that's it. My cousin, who was moving to Indiana in two days, wanted to see it, so we went.
I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. Maybe it was because I didn't know anything about it before I went into the theater other than the title, genre and some of the cast but it was a fun movie. It did have a good twist in the middle which I sort of saw coming, but my cousin didn't have any clue until it happened. It was a good twist. A twist that made the movie in my mind. It also had a good fight scene, one that rivals Colin Firth's and Hugh Grant's in the Bridget Jones movies.
So, while it is probably not the Oscar winning film of the year or the highest grossing film of the year, it is a fun film and one that I think fans of romantic comedies should definitely check out. And yes, that is Josh Groban making an appearance in the film.
Oh and Ryan Gosling is hot in it! Like, hotter than he was in The Notebook. He owned that part and made it fun. I am not sure how he pulled that off, but he did amazing. Just saying...
Have you seen Crazy, Stupid Love yet? Have you seen any other good movie that I should check out this summer?
I really want to see this movie. I've seen the trailers and thought it looked good. Glad to know you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I haven't seen any movies this summer:(
Great post! Hugs-
I haven't seen it yet, but I want to. Good to know that it's worthwhile. You know, enjoyment is just as important in a movie as anything else. Some of my favorite movies won't win an Oscar, but they're fun and they make me smile or feel all fuzzy :)
