Love Steve Carell in everything. He won my heart in The Office. On Sunday I watched Crazy Stupid Love and it was interesting. Quite surprising at times. Ryan Gosling leaves me cold but he's tall and is good at leaning nonchalantly on things in a very sharp suit. Steve Carell was lovely and really sympathisable. Kevin Bacon played a nice accountant. The women got to wear lovely clothes. The little girl had particularly nice dresses. It was really more about the men though, and their different ideas about love and finding a soul mate. The music was well done, really effective.
You never see a bad child actor any more. Every American TV show and move has really well cast kids. Kids aren't cast just for cuteness any more, there is a really high standard of acting ability and especially having an interesting look and real personality. The variety of representations of teenage boys is particularly good, I think. The 13 yr old in CSL was a unique and complex character you could relate to, with a chubby face and bad hair. Also thinking of the boy in Little Miss Sunshine, the boys in The Middle, Modern Family, etc etc.
