   Estrenada el 29 de Julio de 2011 en Estados Unidos, ésta comedia romántica dirigida por Glenn Ficarra y John Requa cuenta la historia de Cal Weaver (Steve Carell), un cuarentón que aparentemente tiene la vida perfecta, tiene un buen trabajo, una familia y una esposa con quien ha estado casado desde hace muchísimos años, pero que en un día cualquiera se le viene el mundo abajo, la razón de ello es que su esposa le pide el divorcio luego de confesarle el haberlo engañado, a partir de éste momento todo en la vida de Cal cambia y es en éste procesó donde conoce a Jacob (Ryan Gosling), quien le da algunos consejos de coqueteo para poder rehacer su vida apartado de su ex esposa.

   Released on July 29, 2011 in the United States, this romantic comedy directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa tells the story of Cal Weaver (Steve Carell), a forty-something who apparently has the perfect life, has a good job, a family and a wife with whom he has been married for many years, The reason for this is that his wife asks him for a divorce after confessing to cheating on him. From this moment on, everything in Cal's life changes and it is in this process where he meets Jacob (Ryan Gosling), who gives him some flirtatious advice on how to rebuild his life away from his ex-wife.

   La película comienza de forma brutal 🤣, en menos de 10 minutos te plantean todo el escenario del divorcio y del motivo del mismo, y cuando terminas de entender lo que está pasando, es porque Cal ya está viviendo solo y en un estado de tristeza y soledad absoluta, y honestamente la velocidad con que ocurre éste inicio de trama me gustó porque de alguna forma te hace sentir la rapidez con que la vida de Cal cambia rotundamente, cuando él asimila lo que está pasando es justamente cuando el espectador también asimila toda la información presentada por la historia, y ese detalle a mi parecer es bastante cool. El personaje de Jacob, quien resulta ser el segundo protagonista si lo llevamos en escala, también nos lo presentan desde el inicio y justamente en escena con Hannah (Emma Stone), evidentemente haciendo referencia a que esa historia será importante más adelante, sin embargo este primer acercamiento entre ellos no queda en nada, y el personaje de Hanna no aparece nuevamente sino hasta mas adentrada la historia.

   The film starts in a brutal way 🤣, in less than 10 minutes you are presented with the whole scenario of the divorce and the reason for it, and when you finish understanding what is happening, it is because Cal is already living alone and in a state of sadness and absolute loneliness, And honestly, I liked the speed with which this beginning of the plot happens because somehow it makes you feel the speed with which Cal's life changes, when he assimilates what is happening is precisely when the viewer also assimilates all the information presented by the story, and that detail in my opinion is pretty cool. The character of Jacob, who turns out to be the second protagonist if we take it in scale, is also presented to us from the beginning and precisely in scene with Hannah (Emma Stone), evidently making reference to the fact that this story will be important later on, however this first approach between them is nothing, and the character of Hanna does not appear again until later in the story.

   La dinámica entre estos dos personajes principales (Cal y Jacob) es la que sustenta la gran parte de la trama, y éste es otro punto que me gustó bastante, porque usualmente las comedias románticas son principalmente llevadas por mujeres y su historia con un chico, pero el hecho de que hayan sido dos hombres como imágenes principales de la historia me pareció innovador y bien llevado sobre todo para el año en que fue estrenada, siento que hubo vacíos en la historia pero que en general llevaron bien la trama principal y era la separación de Cal y su reencuentro con él mismo, con su esencia inicial y un poco con su amor propio, si bien Jacob ayudó en éste proceso siento que si hijo Robbie (Jonah Bobo) también participó en el mismo, el primero lo ayudó a recuperar su amor propio y autoestima, pero el segundo le mostró cuáles eran los pilares de su personalidad y esencia, y ésto a mi parecer hizo a Robbie el tercer protagonista de ésta historia, haciendo que fuesen tres figuras masculinas y sus historias con mujeres, lo cual hace un juego contrario a la postura clásica que mencioné al inicio de éste párrafo.

   The dynamic between these two main characters (Cal and Jacob) is the one that sustains the great part of the plot, and this is another point that I liked a lot, because usually romantic comedies are mainly carried by women and their story with a guy, but the fact that they have been two men as main images of the story seemed to me innovative and well carried especially for the year in which it was released, I feel that there were gaps in the story but that in general they carried well the main plot and it was the separation of Cal and his reunion with himself, Although Jacob helped in this process I feel that his son Robbie (Jonah Bobo) also participated in it, the first helped him to recover his self love and self esteem, but the second showed him which were the pillars of his personality and essence, and this in my opinion made Robbie the third protagonist of this story, making them three male figures and their stories with women, which makes a game contrary to the classic position that I mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph.

   Ahora bien, no todo es color de rosa en ésta historias, porque bien mencioné que sentí vacíos en la trama, uno de los principales fue la historia de Jacob, siento que nunca nos dijeron realmente quién era ésta persona por esa misma razón su cambio a mitad de película yo no lo sentí natural, es decir fue muy brusco, muy rápido y sin mucho sustento, y creo que allí faltaron dos posibles elementos, o más tiempo de película o una historia paralela a la de Cal, porque se le da mayor relevancia a su trama y cuando se intenta encabezar la parte de Jacob, queda bastante corta y se siente apresurada y mal ejecutada. El plot twist de la trama yo ya lo sabía, así que evidentemente no me sorprendió y no puedo decir si es algo que se ve venir o no 🤷🏻‍♀️, lo que sí me sorprendió fue el tema de Robbie y su niñera, que dejaran abierta la posibilidad de que pasara algo, admito que fue medio extraño así que creo que por eso lo dejaron como abierto y no como algo formal del momento 🤣.

   Now, not everything is rosy in this stories, because I mentioned that I felt gaps in the plot, one of the main ones was Jacob's story, I feel that we were never really told who this person was, for that same reason his change in the middle of the film I didn't feel it was natural, that is to say it was very abrupt, very fast and without much support, I think there were two possible elements missing, either more time in the film or a parallel story to Cal's, because it gives more relevance to his plot and when it tries to lead the part of Jacob, it is quite short and feels rushed and poorly executed. The plot twist of the plot I already knew, so obviously it didn't surprise me and I can't say if it's something you see coming or not 🤷🏻‍♀️, what did surprise me was the issue of Robbie and his nanny, that they left open the possibility of something happening, I admit it was kind of weird so I think that's why they left it as open and not as something formal of the moment 🤣.

   Hay muchos elementos familiares en ésta historia, la misma relación de Cal y Jacob se siente algo paternal pese a todo lo que viven, como bien dije la relación con su hijo Robbie es la más desarrollada y hay algo aquí que tampoco me gustó del todo, y es que el personaje de su hija menor es prácticamente inexistente, no tiene muchas puestas en escena, nunca se toca ni medianamente el cómo le pudo afectar a ella la separación de sus papás, y en cierto modo se siente como un personaje de relleno, con decir que tiene más relevancia la niñera 🤣🤣, aunque también entiendo que la película está enfocada en el protagonismo masculino y desde esa perspectiva tiene sentido que no se le dé mucha relevancia a ciertos ámbitos de la trama.

   There are many family elements in this story, Cal and Jacob's relationship feels somewhat paternal despite everything they go through, as I said the relationship with their son Robbie is the most developed and there is something here that I didn't like at all, and that is that the character of their youngest daughter is practically non-existent, she doesn't have much of a role, It never even touches on how the separation from her parents might have affected her, and in a way it feels like a filler character, with the nanny having more relevance 🤣🤣, although I also understand that the film is focused on the male protagonist and from that perspective it makes sense that certain areas of the plot are not given much relevance.

   Loco y Estúpido Amor me hizo reír un montón, de verdad es una película que disfrute muchísimo y que volvería a ver en cualquier momento, los actores hicieron un trabajo magnífico y se nota, no es perfecta y eso se entiende completamente, pero cumple su función de entretener y hacer reír, sigo sin entender porque no la había visto antes, pero desde ahora estará entre películas románticas que recomendaría 😉.

   Crazy Stupid Love made me laugh a lot, it really is a film that I enjoyed a lot and I would watch again at any time, the actors did a great job and it shows, it is not perfect and that is completely understandable, but it fulfills its function of entertaining and making you laugh, I still do not understand why I had not seen it before, but from now on it will be among romantic movies that I would recommend 😉.

2. ›Crazy, Stupid, Love [ENG | ESP]: one of my favorite comedies | una de mis comedias favoritas@cristiancaicedo1844d

   

   A good mix of romance and humor Una buena mezcla de romance y humor

   I am a fan of rare cinema, of foreign films, black and white, old, far-fetched, those montages that are challenging to understand, those dramatic stories in which there are only two characters for almost two hours and of which one is silent... things like that. I'm kidding with myself, but what I mean is that I like different and complicated movies. However, from time to time I also like to enjoy lighter stories.

   Soy un fanático del cine raro, de las películas extranjeras, en blanco y negro, antiguas, rebuscadas, esos montajes desafiantes para el entendimiento, esas historias dramáticas en las que hay únicamente dos personajes durante casi dos horas y de los cuales uno es mudo... cosas así. Me estoy tomando el pelo, pero lo que quiero decir es que me gustan las películas diferentes y complicadas. Sin embargo, de vez en cuando me gusta también disfrutar de historias más ligeras.

   Crazy, Stupid, Love is a 2011 film directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, written by Dan Fogelman and featuring a great cast: Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon. Although all the characters have their own stories and are an important part of the script, the protagonist is Cal Weaver (Steve Carell), a 40-year-old who seems to have everything the average man would dream of, a good job, a nice house, some great children, married to his teenage girlfriend, until, in the opening scene of the movie, his wife Emily tells him, without any anesthesia, that she wants the divorce. The punch is devastating for Cal, for his children, for Emily herself, and it fosters the events that will connect the characters in one way or another.

   Crazy, Stupid, Love es una película del año 2011 dirigida por Glenn Ficarra y John Requa, escrita por Dan Fogelman y que cuenta con un gran elenco: Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei y Kevin Bacon. Aunque todos los personajes tienen sus propias historias y forman parte importante del guión, el protagonista es Cal Weaver (Steve Carell), un cuarentón que parece tener todo lo que el hombre promedio soñaría, un buen trabajo, una bonita casa, unos hijos estupendos, casado con su novia de la adolescencia, hasta que, en la escena inicial de la peícula, su esposa Emily le dice, sin ningún tipo de anestesia, que quiere el divorcio. El golpe es devastador para Cal, para sus hijos, para la propia Emily y propicia los hechos que van a ir conectando, de alguna u otra manera a los personajes.

   

   The cast | El elenco

   And there I think is the charm of this film, in the characters. The style, the montage and the type of film do not depart from a familiar structure, repeated ad nauseam before and after: the crossed stories, the surprising revelations, the misunderstandings, we've seen all that many times; but not always the characters have such a balanced charm.

   Y allí creo que está el encanto de esta película, en los personajes. El estilo, el montaje y el tipo de película no se salen de una estructura familiar, repetida hasta el cansancio antes y después: las historias cruzadas, las revelaciones sorpresivas, los malos entendidos, todo eso lo hemos visto muchas veces; pero no siempre los personajes tienen un encanto tan equilibrado.

   

   Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling

   We have Jacob (Gosling), the typical heartthrob who is successful with women; Hannah (Stone), future lawyer who aspires more for her than the mediocrity to which her partner seems to want to lead her; Emily (Moore), who unleashes her marriage and family crisis because she feels that at some point along the way, she and her husband lost themselves; Robbie, the Weaver's teenage son, in love with his babysitter Jessica; and of course we have David Lindhagen (Bacon), one of the most remembered names in cinema, around which my favorite scene of the entire film revolves.

   Tenemos a Jacob (Gosling), el típico galán que tiene éxito con las mujeres; Hannah (Stone), futura abogada que aspira más para ella que la mediocridad a la que parece querer conducirla su pareja; Emily (Moore), que desata la crisis de su matrimonio y su familia porque siente que en algún punto del camino, su esposo y ella se perdieron a sí mismos; Robbie, el hijo adolescente de los Weaver, enamorado de su niñera Jessica; y por supuesto tenemos a David Lindhagen (Bacon) uno de los nombres más recordados del cine, alrededor del cual gira mi escena favorita de toda la película.

   

   Cal & Jacob

   We're not talking about a cinematic gem, not all movies have to be. It's a light, funny story that mixes with humor the different approaches to love and relationships. Because it must be said, although it has a lot of laughs, the film is also very romantic and allows us to approach the idea of ​​love from different perspectives. Crazy, Stupid, Love is full of clichés: being sad in the rain, the relationship bad boy-good girl, tangles and confusion, references to other movies, these are not new tricks, but I feel like they are combined in ways that work. I don't usually watch many comedies, I'm not a fan of Ben Stiller, or Adam Sandler, or other names that have devoted themselves almost exclusively to the genre because I don't like the way they work the absurd. However, I've found myself laughing and smiling every time I've seen this movie.

   

   Poster

   No estamos habando de una joya cinematográfica, no todas las películas tienen que serlo. Se trata de una historia ligera, graciosa que mezcla con humor los distintos enfoques del amor y las relaciones de pareja. Porque hay que decirlo, aunque tiene muchas risas la película es también muy romántica y permite aproximarse hacia la idea del amor desde distintas perspectivas. Crazy, Stupid, Love está repleta de clichés: estar triste bajo la lluvia, la relación chico-malo-chica-buena, enredos y confusiones, referencias a otras películas, no son trucos nuevos, pero siento que están combinados de manera que funcionan. No suelo ver muchas comedias, no soy admirador de Ben Stiller, o Adam Sandler, ni de otros nombres que se han dedicado casi en exclusiva al género porque no me gusta la forma en que trabajan el absurdo. Sin embargo, me he encontrado riendo y sonriendo cada vez que he visto esta película.

   If you don't know this story, whether you like the genre or not, I recommend it for when you want to see something light, pleasant, a story in which you don't have to break your head understanding codes, scenes or images. And if you see her in the company of someone special, much better.

   Si no conocen esta historia, ya sea que les guste el género, o no, se las recomiendo para cuando quieran ver algo ligero, agradable, una historia en la que no tengan que romperse la cabeza entendiendo códigos, escenas o imágenes. Y si la ven en compañía de alguien especial, mucho mejor.

3. ›Crazy, Stupid Love (Film): A wonderful mix of drama and comedy@gooddream2558d

   It seems as though almost anything that Steve Carell touches turns to gold these days and with good reason: He is a phenomenally versatile actor.

   source

   The other stars of this film are no slouches either and I like the fact that none of them are full-time comedy actors and actresses. The film takes on the story that unfortunately has touched so many people's lives at an increasing rate over the years: Divorce.

   Cal Weaver (Carell) suddenly finds himself in a divorce situation that he did not expect or see coming. He is completely unprepared to be single and he has absolutely zero game in the singles scene (this is a situation I can personally relate to despite the fact that I am not divorced.) By happenstance, a stranger at the same bar that is witnessing Weaver's failures with the ladies decides to help the guy out. This person is Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling) and he is a very successful womanizer who seems to appeal to just about everyone.

   source

   The hilarity ensues during Cal's transformation from clueless Dad to straight-up player. He has no idea how to do this but gradually experiences success with the ladies under the tutelage of Jacob. Jacob teaches him how to dress, how to work out, what to order at a bar and how to talk to women. Of course Cal is terrible at this at first but quickly picks up the ropes and then manages to become a player himself. The transformation was a bit inspiring but then I realized that I can not wear suits here in Thailand because I would die from the heat. As it turns out a well-dressed person who is sweating profusely is even less attractive than someone who is dressed poorly.

   The main thing i like about this film is that it works on all fronts: The comedy is fun, the dramatic acting is convincing, and the emotion hits you right in the "feels" at just the right moments. The overall story is actually pretty awesome too.

   I suppose this could be considered a rom-com but it isn't so over the top and "gushy" and impractical like a lot of those tend to be. I have seen this film a number of times and would definitely be excited about doing so again. It really is that good. That's my opinion and I am sticking to it!

   On a scale of "Urgh!" to "Wowsers!" I happily give Crazy, Stupid Love the well-deserved rank of

4. ›Crazy Stupid Love - Movie Review@coldsteem2943d

   

   Is it possible for a male audience to enjoy a chick-flick? It does when you add humor that appeals to our twisted sense of the world. It does when you have a pimped out Ryan Gosling picking up chicks at the bar...and taking Steve Carell under his tutelage. Crazy, Stupid, Love may lean toward chick-flick, but it has plenty of good stuff for the guys, too.

   

   Cal (Carell) and Emily (Julianne Moore) are childhood sweethearts whose marriage has lost its luster. Cal finds out over dinner that Emily wants a divorce. It gets worse. Emily also slept with her co-worker, David Lindhagen (Kevin Bacon). Hanging on to a thread, Cal moves into an apartment and tries to drown his sorrows at a nearby bar. It is the same bar where Jacob (Ryan Gosling) works his magic.
   
   Jacob is a ladies man. He has a bullet proof strategy that always ends the same (the dramatic scene from Dirty Dancing followed by intense sexual encounters). Jacob takes pity on Cal and decides to help him out. Jacob is Miyagi to Cal's Daniel-san. He teaches Cal the ins and outs of style and pick-up lines. Cal slowly absorbs his lessons gradually becoming a first-rate pick up artist himself.

   

   In the meantime, Emily is not interested in pursuing David, her son Robbie (Jonah Bobo) is in love with the babysitter and the babysitter has a wild crush on Cal. When Jacob meets Hannah (Emma Stone), his gameplan changes. The twisted, intertwined relationships explode in a climactic episode where an interesting plot twist evolves. It is an examination of love and growing pains from an interesting variety of angles.

   

   While Crazy, Stupid, Love uses some formula in developing its plot, it has plenty of interesting sub-plots and humor that is unique enough to make it different. The plot is contrived and convoluted, but in a fun way. It weaves together an array of stories into an engaging, funny, introspective, emotional look at love. The characters may be a little bit flat, but they are lovable. The lack of dimension seems to be overcome by the engaging actors and the tongue-in-cheek quality of the film that doesn't seem to take itself to seriously. And in the end, the film still manages to have some touching moments. Somehow, I managed to enjoy this movie more than I should have.

   

   Part of my enjoyment stems from the acting. I am a huge Ryan Gosling fan. It was fun to watch the often subdued, brooding Gosling step out into a flashy, confident role. His character had a charm where he should have been simply sleazy (or cheesy). He is great along side Carell. It's sometimes hard to tell who the "straight man" is. The pair had great comic chemistry and seemed to relish this project. I also like Emma Stone, who was awesome. Although I am starting to wonder about her working in films with Scarlet Letter references (Easy A). This is at least her second. A strong cast made this mildly interesting movie exceptional.

   

   In spite of Hannah's assertion that she was going to give Jacob an "R" rated evening (after an interesting monologue on her PG-13 version), this film still eked out a PG-13. It was an interesting juxtaposition between the dialogue and the actual rating. The film manages a PG-13 from an abundance of adult material. This includes plenty of sexual references, sexual encounters (although we never actually see the encounters) and discussions about sexual topics. The humor is coarse, but perfect to keep the male members of the audience engaged. This is an adult-oriented PG-13. The humor is geared toward older audiences, so the rating is probably well applied, pre-teens might be better off staying at home with the baby-sitter (who they probably have a crush on).

   

   So why did I enjoy this chick flick? I'm not sure. It was funny. It had a great cast. It had a decent message. There was a happy ending (no double-entendre intended). The pacing was a bit slow, especially towards the end of the film, but it was a cute film. It was a good "date night" film that has something for both sexes. If the pacing were more steady and the plot less convoluted, I might have actually given this film five stars. I enjoyed the plot twist, which I never saw coming and thought that the movie had just enough range to exceed the sum of its parts. 8/10.
