This is Huge for my site having such a great team to work with and to build a great working relationship with them. So make sure you follow them on Twitter and LIKE the site on Facebook . Holy freakin’ A! I love this movie! I love every minute of it! My most anticipated rom-com of this summer did not disappoint me at all. CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE rocks! It’s every bit as good as I expected it to be. Steve Carell is an expert when it comes to playing a good guy who can’t catch a break. Love seems to give him a hard time, put him in a tough spot, his character in this movie reminds me of his character in Dan In Real Life which is also one of my favorite rom-coms of the last decade. Ryan Gosling brings sexy back, Emma Stone lights up the screen, Julianne Moore still has that tremendous on screen presence, and the hilarious tension/un
