They have been an on-screen couple thrice and their chemistry is undeniable. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, that’s a pair that works! His last collaboration is with La La Land by Damien Chazelle in 2017, a musical comedy that won 6 Oscars that allowed him to highlight his talent in singing and dancing.
But years before the feature film Eloise was rated 4.2 out of 5 by viewers, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling had already given themselves (and their bodies) to a cult film, one of the 15 best romantic comedies of the 2010s. AlloCiné viewers.
Emma Stone + Ryan Gosling = a winning pair
This cult romantic comedy by Dan Fogelman (This Is Us) and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (I Love You, Philip Morris) brings together an extraordinary cast around Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling: Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Josh Groban, Marisa Tomei, John Carroll Lynch, and Leo Tipton.
Warner Bros.
In Crazy, Stupid, Love, love is made and characters’ journeys unwittingly connect them and for better or worse. Ryan Gosling plays Jacob Palmer, an attractive thirty-year-old who helps and coaches forty-year-old Cal Weaver (Steve Carell), who thought he was living the perfect life.
His existence is shattered when his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) confesses that she is cheating on him and wants a divorce. Jacob, who certainly gets close to Hannah (Emma Stone), will introduce Cal to another perspective amid drunken evenings, downgraded style and new conquests.
Emily and Cal’s children are also victims of their desires and romances, complicating the stories of their parents and those around them.
Rated 3.8 out of 5 by AlloCiné viewers, Crazy, Stupid, Love is an intelligent, funny and touching romantic comedy that has given rise to a genre that is sometimes reheated.
After a conventional but good-natured first half, the film shows its cards with many surprises and brilliant twists and turns, making it a successful and refreshing comedy.
If you haven’t discovered Crazy, Stupid, Love yet or want to watch it again, do it soon! You only have one week left to admire Ryan Gosling’s abs.
Crazy, Stupid, Love leaves the Netflix catalog on January 31.
