Crazy, Stupid, Love

3.5 stars
(I am agreeing with Neal's review)

We were going to give this film a pass, based on the previews. We are tepid about Steve Carrell, and have mixed feelings about Ryan Gosling. We love Julianne Moore and  Marisa Tomei, but this is America, so obviously they get five minutes of screen time between them. Turns out this is a nice little movie, with a very few seconds of raunch (much less than most movies these days) and a lot of thoughtfulness, plus the best single line you'll hear in the movies this summer, when Gosling takes his shirt off,  and Emma Stone says, "Seriously, you look photoshopped!" And the funny thing is, he does. The film manages to be amusing and touching and is worth seeing.
