Résumés(1)
A tout juste quarante ans, Cal Weaver mène une vie de rêve - bonne situation, belle maison, enfants formidables et mariage parfait avec sa petite amie du lycée. Mais lorsqu’il apprend que sa femme, Emily, le trompe et demande le divorce, sa vie « parfaite » s’écroule. Pire, dans le monde des célibataires d’aujourd’hui, Cal, qui n’a plus dragué depuis des lustres, se révèle un modèle d’anti séduction. Passant désormais ses soirées à bouder tout seul au bar du coin, l’infortuné Cal est pris en main comme complice et protégé d’un séduisant trentenaire, Jacob Palmer. Pour l’aider à oublier sa femme et à commencer une nouvelle vie, Jacob tente de faire découvrir à Cal les nombreuses perspectives qui s’offrent à lui: femmes en quête d’aventures, soirées arrosées entre copains et un chic supérieur à la moyenne. Cal et Emily ne sont pas les seuls en quête d’amour: le fils de Cal, Robbie, 13 ans, est fou de sa babysitter de 17 ans, Jessica, laquelle a jeté son dévolu… sur Cal ! Et en dépit de la transformation de Cal et de ses nombreuses nouvelles conquêtes, la seule chose qu’il ne peut changer reste son coeur, qui semble toujours le ramener à son point de départ.

Ce sur quoi repose tout le Hitch, c'est juste une préparation à une mosaïque relationnelle plus complexe, mélangeant romance, comédie et drame. Bien qu'il suive le modèle hollywoodien, le film est astucieusement arrangé avec plusieurs personnages et des histoires d'amour moins prévisibles. Grâce à cela, et surtout grâce à la présence de Ryan Gosling et Julianne Moore à la place où l'on s'attendrait à voir Adam Sandler et Salma Hayek, le film se démarque des boîtes de céréales similaires.

For three quarters of its run I was really thrilled with Crazy, Stupid, Love, but that clichéd happy ending made me lose that feeling very quickly. Carell, Gosling, Moore, et al. are fantastic, I had no problem liking everyone. It’s certainly a very nice film, but if you want to see a truly great one, turn it off after the “meeting in the garden” scene.

There's loads of these brisk, funny, situationally attuned, brilliantly shot comedies with polished casts in precisely fitting jackets, and no less precisely fitting roles. And if there is also an interesting dramatic subtext and some wisdom from life, much better. It should be noted, however, that Crazy Stupid Love entertains just a little bit more than its contemporaries. It's hard to say what it is, maybe the directorial dynamics, maybe the immediacy of the main characters, in any case, it’s great.

Once again, a film full of quality humor and great lines. I don't think anyone in the cast is up to Ryan Gosling’s standard, but Steve Carell shone exceptionally. There are plenty of scenes that made me laugh out loud and a few that made me melt a little. The music was also well chosen. I appreciate films like this in this day and age. The only thing that kept it from perfection for me was a bit less of an American ending. 4.5 stars.

A pleasant film that changes absolutely beautifully over time. I was quite impressed by how many interesting and big names they managed to rope into this movie. Maybe they wanted to shoot it for fun, because I doubt that they could get that much money out of such relationship-centric romantic movie. Anyway, the most amazing thing in the movie was Ryan Gosling. He was changing right before my eyes. First he was a flute player who scored with every girl he looked at, and then he was a boy who fell head over heels in love. And I believed him all that one hundred percent. Without him, the film would’ve definitely been only a half of what it is. But not only without him; Steve Carell is great as well. I just don’t understand why he’s being referred to as a comedian. He hasn’t grabbed my attention as a comedian yet, but he did convince me that he is a good actor. The film itself is about relationships with those we love and also about the fact that sometimes these relationships go into a slightly different direction than we would actually like. It was definitely a nice movie, but watching it once was enough for me.
