Cal Weaver is a middle aged man who faces sudden change when his wife, Emily Weaver, requests for a divorce because she had slept with a man, named David Lindhagen. This pushes Cal into heavy drinking in which he meets Jacob palmer, a womanizing man. He learns how to pick up women from him, and is forced to try and make choices between a new life and his old life. At the same time Jacob Palmer meets his match in a woman named, Hannah. This film was directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. This is the second film project for both directors. This film deals with all those various forms of love, new love, old love, and all those other forms of love that tend to occur through out life. There is a lot of elements used in this film that all clashes in a big unexpected ending. The story tends to lean more towards romantic drama than romantic comedy. There are some chuckle moments, but nothing that'll cause you to burst out in laughter. The light realism is great in this film, and seems to be becoming a much more popular trend in romantic comedies in modern cinema's. The realism makes the characters more believable, and slightly heart breaking to watch. I should probably warm that there is some adult content-like there is most modern romantic comedies. It also is meant to be a date night movie. It's more of a romantic comedy for those who are either out of love, or are trying to figure it out.
The acting was good, the actors had surprisingly great charisma together. This is a very different film for leading actor Steve Carell, Cal Weaver. This film relies more on subtle humour between the characters instead of openly slap stick, or satirical, humour. He did good playing the man trying to rediscover himself after going through the divorce. Julianne Moore, Emily Weaver, was great in her role. The wife whose going through a mid-life crises and is trying to figure out what she really wants in life. Her role was limited to being the wife, but she did great in making her character believable. Ryan Gosling, Jacob Palmer, did great as the womanizer who falls in love. When he plays the womanizer he doesn't come off as a prick, or an idiot which is great for making his character sympathetic. Emma Stone, Hannah, was great in this role. This is a very similar role to her other previous films that audience's love to watch. The smart, quirky, young woman. Analeigh Tipton, Jessica Riley, was great for this film. She's the awkward teenager who is caught between loving Cal, and not loving Robbie Weaver (Cal's son). Her character adds a lot more humour being caught in this confusion net of love. Jonah Bobo, Robbie Weaver, was great in this role. He really brought out the humour, and subtle intelligence, of his character.
Without further ado, I give this film... 4 out of 5 stars! It's got a good story, and brings out all those variations of love. There isn't much comedy as there is drama. The acting is great, and makes fully believable characters. But's it definitely not the best date movie to go watch.
Answer to last blog post: Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson both starred in the film Vanity Fair, but Pattinson wasn't credited in the film.
