is a 2011 American romantic comedy film directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, written by Dan Fogelman and starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, John Carroll Lynch, Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon.

The film follows a series of interconnected love stories centered around Cal Weaver, a recently separated man who learns how to be more romantic and charm women.

Gosling was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his performance.

Cal Weaver is a middle-aged man whose wife Emily asks for a divorce after she reveals an affair she had with co-worker David Lindhagen.

He eventually attracts the attention of the young man Jacob Palmer, a womanizer who beds different women each night but was recently rejected by law school graduate Hannah.

Eventually, Cal and Emily reunite at their 13-year-old son Robbie's parent-teacher conference, where she is impressed by his newfound confidence and fitted clothes.

Their reunion goes well until they meet Robbie's teacher, who turns out to be Kate, and who spitefully reveals her and Cal's tryst because he never called her afterwards.

In the ensuing argument, Cal inadvertently confesses to having sex with nine women since their separation, so Emily leaves in disgust while also openly dating Lindhagen.

Cal and Emily's son Robbie makes numerous grand gestures to win the heart of Bernie's daughter and his babysitter, Jessica.

Cal and his kids create a makeshift mini golf set in their backyard to remind Emily of their first date.

The site's critical consensus reads, "It never lives up to the first part of its title, but Crazy, Stupid, Love's unabashed sweetness – and its terrifically talented cast – more than make up for its flaws.

[21] Roger Ebert gave Crazy, Stupid, Love 3 out of 4 stars and remarked that it "is a sweet romantic comedy about good-hearted people".

[22] A. O. Scott of The New York Times gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, and wrote: "Crazy, Stupid, Love is, on balance, remarkably sane and reasonably smart".

[24] Some reviewers were less favorable, such as Christy Lemire at the Associated Press, who wrote that "it never gets crazy or stupid enough to make you truly fall in love with it", giving the film a 2 out of 4 rating.

[25] James Rocchi of MSN Movies was particularly critical, giving it 1 out of 5 and remarking that it is "a star-studded lump of fantasy and falsehood".
