Crazy Stupid Love, movie review

"Crazy Stupid Love".
I bet this movie will surprise you;
It surprised me.

What I expected was a flaky, chick-flick,
about a hokey Dad

trying to reinvent himself as a
"hot dude" in order to re-enter
the dating scene.

Yes.
You do get that.

But the surprise is that you get
so much more.

[Steve Carell says, about the movie]

"What's clear in the movie is how powerful and emotionally draining [divorce can be].
"It's a huge loss and I think people tend to, I don't know if trivialise is the right word, but I think they under-appreciate the enormity of the effect a divorce can have on people."
He added: "Some of my friends have gone through divorce after many, many years of marriage, so several elements of the movie ring true to me.
"Certainly, getting back into the dating game is a very frightening and daunting element [of the film] that is rooted in reality. I had a friend who, after 25 years of marriage, found himself trying to date again, and it was completely different."

This movie had far more plot than I had
anticipated.  It was funny AND
thought-provoking which made
for a great movie.
Well worth the ticket price, IMO.

Note: PG 13
Just a few bad words.
I will allow my 16 yr old  to see it.
