25 Days of Romcoms pt. 5: Crazy, Stupid, Love

Part 5 and it's day 7. School is life sucking, but as of tonight it is slightly less life sucking and after I finish a few quizzes this weekend, it will be significantly less life sucking, so hopefully no more skipped days. 

First of all, I don't think I ever disliked Julianne Moore's character in this movie. You're probably not supposed to. But you probably are supposed to identify more with Steve Carrell. BUT he's kind of an ass in the beginning of the movie. Yes, his wife out of the blue asked for a divorce and told him she had slept with someone, but whenever she brought up their relationship and tried to talk and communicate, he shut her down. She absolutely should have brought it up before it got to the point of having an affair, but still. Be a grown up and talk to your wife.

Second, Ryan Gosling tells Steve Carrell to meet him at 3:00 on a Thursday. Who is free at 3:00 on a flipping Thursday?! Cal wasn't even at work when he left. He just took a Thursday off. And what does Ryan Gosling do? He's got a giant house and buys $5,000 massage chairs but does nothing during the day. It's weird.

Also, what's up with the teenage sexual harassment? Robbie, bud, once a girl tells you that you're making her uncomfortable, you stop doing whatever it is you're doing that is making her uncomfortable. I don't know if I picked up on that before.

Okay, done with rants.

Best part about this movie BY FAR is Ryan Gosling. I mean LOOK at that!

 

And he has the best judgy looks in this movie. 

And he's just the right amount of douchey to pull off a v-neck and be sexy. 

Come on. COME ON! 

That man was made for the female gaze and I am here for it.

That actually seems like a pretty good place to end.
