When we saw Steve Carrell was cast in a comedy with both “Crazy” and “Stupid” in the title, we figured we’d be getting yet another take on “The 40-Year-Old Virgin.” But it turns out that this movie, directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, focuses mostly on “Love.” This movie was a surprisingly smart but still comedic exploration of adult relationships (and those that aspire to adulthood).
“Crazy Stupid Love” stars Carrell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon, plus Jonah Bobo and a noteworthy turn by model-turned-actress Analeigh Tipton.
This Movie Monday podcast also includes a bonus review by Jen of “Glee in 3-D,” a movie she saw opening weekend with Katie, our teen “gleek” daughter.
