Crazy, Stupid, Love is an American Romantic Comedy. It was released in 2011.Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream - he's got a good job, nice house, and great kids. Cal gets the surprise of his life when he learns his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) has been cheating on him with a coworker, David Lindhagen (Kevin Bacon), and wants a divorce. After moving into his own apartment, Cal begins grieving at a bar night after night talking to himself about his situation where he meets a young man named Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling). Jacob is a womanizer who successfully beds women each night, although he does take a particular interest in a young woman named Hannah (Emma Stone), the only woman to resist his advances.Not wanting to watch Cal keep draining his sorrows night after night, Jacob agrees to teach him his trade so that he can have the confidence to earn Emily back. Because Emily is the only woman Cal has even been with, Cal doesn't have much experience, so Jacob gives Cal a makeover and resolves to teach him how to have game. Meanwhile, Cal and Emily's son Robbie (Jonah Bobo) has a crush on his neighbor and babysitter, Jessica (Lio Tipton), and makes numerous gestures to try and win her heart...while remaining oblivious to the fact that she is in love with Cal.The supporting cast also includes Marisa Tomei as Kate, Joey King as Molly, and John Carroll Lynch as Bernie. | |

Likes Older Men | |
| Crazy, Stupid, Love / int_1411ae39 | comment |
Likes Older Men: 17 year old Jessica it turns out is in love with Cal, who's old enough he could be her father (she babysits his kids) and indeed he's friends with her dad. This comes to the point that she takes nude photos of herself to give him (which ends up getting Cal in trouble). Jessica took the photos on the advice of another teenage girl who dates guys older than her (though not that old) which turned out to be a very bad idea. | |

Playing Catch with the Old Man | |
| Crazy, Stupid, Love / int_15214aec | comment |
Playing Catch with the Old Man: The film hangs a lampshade on this trope as Cal and Robbie bond and work out Cal's issues playing catch. Realizing the inverted nature of the relationship with the young son explaining things to his father, Cal asks, "How old are you?" | |

Gone Horribly Right: Emily wanted Cal to be more adventurous. She certainly got that, since after she asks for a divorce he cleans himself up and starts sleeping around. Cal wanted Emily to regret that she left him. When she discovers that he has had sex with multiple women, she does regret it, but is not willing to return. Jessica wanted her Cal to notice her with her nudes. Turns out, he did after said pictures are discovered by her parents and her father confronts Cal. | |

Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Though it seems like Cal will be more of a "man" if he follows in Jacob's womanizing ways, the characters eventually realize that in genuine relationships women value kindness and honesty over charm and swagger. | |

Papa Wolf: Cal's reaction upon finding out that Jacob's new girlfriend is Hannah, his daughter is to try and veto the relationship, because he knows Jacob as an unrepentant womanizer. Jessica's father goes on a rampage when he thinks Cal is involved with his daughter. | |

Practically Different Generations: A large age gap sets up a plot twist. Jacob, who is in his late twenties, knows that Cal has two children, a thirteen-year-old son and a younger daughter. He does not find out that Cal also has a much older daughter, Hannah — the woman Jacob is dating — until much later. | |

Teen Pregnancy | |

Teen Pregnancy: Played with. Emily is in her mid forties, but she states that she got married very young. It is a bit puzzling, as her children are fairly small (13 and below 10), until it's revealed that she gave birth to Hannah (27) when she was 17. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Jacob might have started out as a callous womanizer, but he genuinely comes to care about Cal and revere him as a friend. Even after Cal forbids Jacob to see his daughter. He sticks up for Cal when Bernie attacks him. He also punches David Lindhagen on sight for the effect Emily's affair with him had on Cal. When Hannah stops talking to Cal, it's Jacob who hands her a phone and says, "You should call your father." | |

Stalking Is Love: Robbie's crush on his babysitter is at heart really disturbing, but is presented in a romantic positive light by the film. Cal consistently sneaks around his family's house and watches Emily. In one scene he happens to be in the yard while Emily calls him under false pretenses. | |

Meaningful Background Event: When Robbie is at his mother's office, there are two picture frames on Emily's desk. One is a photo of Emily and Cal, while the other is a picture of a baby girl who appears to be Molly... except it seems to look very old to be taken even in The '90s and she obviously wasn't even born in that decade yet. It's clearly a picture of Hannah. | |

The Unfair Sex: Emily cheats on Cal and tells him she wants a divorce (although she's not specifically leaving him for the other man) and their friends take her side — but all are incensed at the rumors of Cal's womanizing. Jessica calls out Robbie on his crush, but it's clear that she's into his dad Cal. The difference is actually way more extreme in her case. | |

Sensei for Scoundrels | |
| Crazy, Stupid, Love / int_b05f64f | comment |
Sensei for Scoundrels: Jacob for Cal, although he never teaches Cal to mistreat women. Also, Jacob is much younger than Cal but much more experienced in this regard. Flipped when Jacob's genuine feelings for Hannah cause him to seek Cal's advice on building stable relationships as opposed to one night stands. | |

| Crazy, Stupid, Love / int_b4fb00f6 | comment |
Mistaken for Pedophile: Jessica's dad is shown the photos of herself nude she took for him, and assumes the worst. He storms off to beat up Cal, ignoring Jessica's desperate attempt to explain (Cal didn't ask for her to do this, and wasn't even aware of it). It's only explained when he's tried to attack Cal. | |

No Antagonist: Nobody in the story is acting from malice or trying to hurt anyone else, they're all just making, as the title suggests, crazy and/or stupid decisions due to love. Even David Lindhagen, the man Emily slept with, is shown to not be a bad person per se and is genuinely falling for her. | |
