Overall, I am more than a little disappointed with this whole movie. I love Paul Rudd. I also really enjoy Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel and Kathryn Hahn, but in this movie, not one of them delivers what I would say was a good performance. Barely even half decent. I didn't like a single one of the characters, there was nothing that made me want to remotely care for any of them, except maybe... read more

This was a really good film. It was funny, sad, and enlightening to see a character carry a message. If anything it showed that his sisters were the real idiots. There is part in the movie when he explains why he trusts people...its quite good.

PS/ I love Paul Rudd and Rashida Jones... I was waiting for "slappin' di bassss" lol

I'm not quite sure what just happened.

First, I put off watching "Date Night"-- which I could have watched tonight-- for a day, so that I could watch "Crazy, Stupid, Love". (I always hated not finding things or tuning in late, so now I'm all sophisticated-- LocateTV lines it up for me.)

An average movie

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I really struggled to care about the damned thing and I’m amazed that they managed to get all these actors (Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, Steve Coogan, Kathryn Hahn, T.J. Miller, Sterling K. Brown, Hugh Dancy) for such a weak concept. Basically, it turned out to be a series of uninspired events during which Ned seemingly ruined the lives of his siblings which was just so derivative and predictable. As far as I’m concerned, such comedies going for some cheap laughs by having a stupid main character are always so misguided, Adam Sandler pretty much built his whole career on t” read more
