Directed by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, and written by Dan Fogelman, Crazy, Stupid, Love is a romantic comedy released in 2011. Starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, , Julianne Moore, and Emma Stone, the film will be available on Netflix on November 13, 2025.
Cal Weaver, 40, has a perfect life: a happy marriage, a beautiful home, and two children. Everything falls apart when his wife, Emily, announces that she wants a divorce. Distraught, Cal discovers the world of modern singles and meets Jacob Palmer, a charismatic thirty-something who decides to teach him the codes of seduction and self-confidence.
Between desires, misunderstandings, and reunions, Cal, Emily, and their friends and family will learn that love, at any age, remains as unpredictable as it is essential. The film intertwines several love stories, all connected by a common quest: that of sincerity and second chances.
Produced by Warner Bros. and Carousel Productions, the film features a prestigious cast, with Emma Stone, Kevin Bacon, and Marisa Tomei in supporting roles. The subtle direction of John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, who also wrote I Love You Phillip Morris, offers a tender and ironic take on contemporary romantic relationships. Ryan Gosling delivers a remarkable performance, embodying confident charm and unapologetic vulnerability.
This feature film is aimed at viewers who enjoy modern romantic comedies, combining humor, emotion, and generational portraits. Suitable for ages 10 and up, it remains a benchmark of the genre thanks to its balance of laughter and emotional accuracy.
