Steve Carell’s filling up his free time now that he’s done with The Office with starring roles in feature films, including Crazy, Stupid, Love. The PG-13 rated romantic comedy also stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.
Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the rom-com’s cast also includes Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Jonah Bobo, John Carroll Lynch, Kevin Bacon, and Analeigh Tipton. Josh Groban, Liza Lapira, Beth Littleford, and Joey King also star.
Crazy, Stupid, Love opens in theaters on July 29, 2011.
Official Synopsis: At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Carell) is living the dream–good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart. But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels. Worse, in today’s single world, Cal, who hasn’t dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth.
Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protege to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Gosling). In an effort to help Cal get over his wife and start living his life, Jacob opens Cal’s eyes to the many options before him: flirty women, manly drinks and a sense of style that can’t be found at Supercuts or The Gap.
Cal and Emily aren’t the only ones looking for love in what might be all the wrong places: Cal’s 13-year-old son, Robbie, is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica, who harbors a crush on Cal. And despite Cal’s makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that can’t be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading him back to where he began.
