Amor, Estúpido e Louco

Aquilo de que Hitch - A Cura para o Homem Comum se baseava aqui é apenas um prelúdio para uma colagem de relações mais estratificadas de romance, comédia e drama. Pode ser uma fórmula de Hollywood, mas arranja de forma inteligente múltiplos personagens com relações de love-trouble não tão primitivas. Graças a isto, e especialmente à presença de Ryan Gosling e de Julianne Moore, nos papéis nos quais seria de esperar Adam Sandler e Salma Hayek, o filme se destaque de uma caixa de cereais semelhantes.

An enjoyable likeable romantic comedy that I find a nice refresher after blockbusters, horror and Asian films. Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling are brilliant, the bar scenes are great, and the interesting twists and tricks are a delight. The highlight is the hilarious scene at the garden reunion, it will make your sides hurt. 80%. (20/06/2016)

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. (08/12/2011)

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. (29/12/2012)

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. (24/10/2011)
