Warner Bros has released a new trailer for the upcoming flick, Crazy, Stupid, Love starring Steve Carell. It looks like it could be a very endearing movie with some great performances from the talented cast. Carrel plays a guy who’s trying to deal with the prospect of divorce, and having not played the singles game since high school, seeks advice from a charismatic and charming womanizer, played by Ryan Gosling.
The film also stars Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei, and Kevin Bacon. From the writing and directing team of Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who made the dark comedy ‘Bad Santa’, this film should be an interesting mix of laugh out loud comedy and heartfelt drama.
Here’s the synopsis:
At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve 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 (Julianne 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 (Ryan 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 (Jonah Bobo), is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica (Analeigh Tipton), 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.
Crazy, Stupid, Love opens July 29th, 2011.
