Crazy, Stupid, Love is everything its title hints at except for one thing: stupid. This smart and lighthearted comedy is crazy in the context of love, but it does such a good job at tying up all the crazy knots that its colorful and busy plot line introduces and follows.
The story follows Cal, a newly deemed cuckold after his wife, Emily, sleeps with David Lindhagen and asks for a divorce. This isn't the usual premise for a feel-good, romantic comedy; however, the grace comes in the form of a smug playboy, Jacob. Jacob helps Cal rediscover his manhood, all the while Cal yearns for his life with Emily. In the end, the audience is able to connect all of the stories together as the film manages to reach a happy, fulfilling conclusion.
This is one of the better comedies I have seen in a while. Given the cast, I shouldn't be too surprised, but the film obviously had a well written script. Another aspect of the film that I have come to enjoy since watching it in theaters is the watchability. The story never gets old, so experience it at least once. Conclusion: Watch It
Rating: 7.5/10
