Ed. Note: I’ve asked Big Hollywood’s Iron Man John Hanlon to cover the latest movie trailers as they come out and give us his impressions. thankfully he agreed, and this is the first in what should be a terrific series. All together now: Thanks, John! — JN

What’s to Like
Firstly, “Crazy Stupid Love” has a great cast including Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Marisa Tomei, Kevin Bacon and Emma Stone. If that isn’t enough, it also stars Julianne Moore as Carell’s husband in a story that seems to focus on their marital difficulties. The movie looks fresh and funny and judging from the short clips we see of Moore and Carell together, it also looks like it has a strong heart.
What’s to Dislike
Sometimes a few strong actors being cast together can mean that the story suffers (see “Red Riding Hood“). Also, if the movie relies too much on crass or sex jokes, it could fall into “No Strings Attached” territory.
The Verdict
The positives for this new comedy far outweigh the possible negatives. A warm heart. A few laughs. Julianne Moore. I’m looking forward to this one.
Release Date: July 29,2011
