I saw Crazy Stupid Love this weekend. Thought it was kind of crazy in parts, kind of stupid in parts, and I didn't love it.
But I liked it. Thought it was worth seeing. I laughed a number of times, and liked some of the characters. Speaking of quarters, Ryan Gosling appears quite bounceable. If I were so inclined, I would probably think the same about Emma Stone. And who can speak ill of Steve Carrell and Julianne Moore?
Did I tell you all that I saw Friends With Benefits a couple of weeks ago? Same thing there, mixed feelings. The downside: There was actually too much sex for me! I'm not a prude (I don't think), but it just felt like TMI about somebody else's sex life. But the script was smart and funny, both JT and Mila Kunis were charming and attractive, the supporting actors -- particularly Woody Harrelson, Patricia Clarkson and Richard Jenkins -- all wonderful, the views of NYC attractive, the fashions worth noting. What more do you need from a light summer rom-com?
Though if any of you see this, please share with me what you thought of Woody Harrelson's character. Woody played him well, but as written he was a bit over the top -- a gay guy who was constantly referencing his own gayness. Too much, do you think?
