- Story Text: An all-star ensemble cast teams up for Hollywood's newest dramedy, "Crazy, Stupid, Love." Funny man Steve Carell mixes his serious side to play a man who thought he had the perfect life until his wife, played by Julianne Moore unexpectedly announces she wants a divorce.
Carell's character then finds help from Ryan Gosling's character, who teaches him how to navigate the single scene. Gosling said he first worked with Carell when he was 17-years-old.
"First thing I got when I moved to Hollywood was a small part in a pilot that he had a small part in too. And he was so funny that I would just go to work to watch him work. And I remember one time I went to see him and he was so funny that the boom guy had to drop his mic in the middle of a take and just have a laugh attack. And they had to tell him to tone down being so funny cause it was a problem and I just thought I have to work with this guy someday," Gosling told Reuters.
However Jonah Bobo, 14, who plays Carell's son in the movie said he does have an off switch.
"He can be serious at time, and it's good, you don't want someone who's always trying to crack jokes and always be the funny guy, he can also sit down and have a serious conversation and he's a really nice guy too," said Bobo.
The film easily walks the line between comedy and drama, Carell, who just recently left his role on NBC's "The Office," said the film's script was good enough to handle the dance.
"It's very human, it's a very human funny story about relationships and love and family and it's a lot - there is a lot that goes on in this story," said Carell.
"I would probably describe it as a movie about a bunch of different types of love stories and a bunch of different types of relationships, and the gray area that comes with all of that and how everything is not very clear cut in love - it's a messy business," added actress Emma Stone whoup dating Gosling's character in the movie.
The topic of soul mates is examined throughout the film. While Gosling is unsure about the possibilities, Stone feels we all have many.
"I do believe in soul mates, but I believe that people can have more than one, is that unfair. I think you can have different types of soul mates, friend soul mates and relationship, love relationship soul mates, I think there's a few different kinds," said Stone.
"Crazy, Stupid, Love" opens in U.S. theaters on July 29. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
