Crazy, Stupid, Love: Sneak Peek

At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream — a stable job, a nice house, great kids and a 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 to a nightmare. Worse, Cal has not dated in decades and stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken as a protégé to the handsome, 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 cannot be found at any other typical store. Despite Cal’s makeover, the one thing that cannot be made over is his heart which keeps leading him back to where he began. Read on to find out about the cast and crew behind this seemingly interesting comedy about life and love.
