Critics Consensus

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.

There is a point where you stop chasing something running away. Glad he found his man card. It was the sign of the times.

The movie is just what I need when I feel down. It's silly, happy, moments of sadness with a happiness encore. Great cast.

The cast was spot on, Steve Carell in a role of a loving father, however his acting was very similar to his role of Michael Scott(the Office) . The kids love story was off, and they visibly tried to make it look adult like, but it just didn't come out very well.

Kate Erbland

Film School Rejects

Despite some shaky plotting, the Carell and Gosling duo is an engaging watch and the two have their own special brand of chemistry that keeps the film going, even when things feel just ludicrous enough to be distracting.

Rated: B-

The acting is universally excellent, and during the majority of the film's running time what's taking place is almost too glorious for words.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Age (Australia)

Steve Carell sets aside his goofball schtick for a more earthy role in this satisfying, mature ensemble romantic dramedy.

Rated: 3.5/5

Crazy, Stupid, Love isn't just about one couple; rather, it's an exploration about the nature of dating, coming together, and relationship expiration dates in general.

Deep Focus Review

What I like best about Crazy, Stupid, Love. is the structure, and how seemingly frivolous subplots come together and inform the others in crucial ways during a hilarious screwball climax.

Rated: 3/4
