ViDEO ‘Oh what a tangled web we weave...’ CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE gives everyone in its powerhouse cast room to shine, chief among them Steve Carell as Cal Weaver, a newly single father of two who, after 25 years of marriage, suddenly finds himself shellshocked and nursing strings of vodka cranberry at the bar. Lucky for him he catches the sympathy of Lothario extraordinaire Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling), a master of the singles scene who decides to take the termi- It’s senseless to resist... nal schlub under his wing and teach him the secrets of intense woo: stop dressing like a kid, remember your manhood, get her talking about herself, know when to say “let’s get out of here.” After some rough starts Cal learns a thing or two, and by the time of his first parent-teacher conference with his ex, Emily (Julianne Moore), he has a bit of a reputation. But complications are everywhere—the over-admiring babysitter, his ex-wife’s paramour (Kevin Bacon), his desperately romantic son and a special woman who might be turning Jacob from his womanizing ways. An ingeniously hatched plot with plenty of heart, from the writer-directors who brought you Bad Santa and I Love You Phillip Morris.—Richard Gould
