Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51M8XoPSu9L._SX500_.jpg  After 25 years of marriage, Emily (Julianne Moore) informs Cal (Steve Carell) that she wants a divorce and that she has had an affair with her co-worker, David Lindhagen (Kevin Bacon).  Adrift and on the scene for the first time in his life, Cal is having trouble moving on until playboy Jacob (Ryan Gosling) takes pity on him and shows him how to get women.  Meanwhile, Cal's son Robbie (Jonah Bobo) is pining over his baby-sitter Jessica (Analeigh Tipton), who has her own crush on Cal.  Still, things are going fairly well until Jacob meets Hannah (Emma Stone).

The movie is serviceable.  I'm not a huge Steve Carell or Ryan Gosling fan, so I can't really gush about how awesome they were.  The only really funny parts are due to Emma Stone being Emma Stone.  She is hilarious and I have not seen her give a bad performance yet.
