It appears we did not as an Internet really talk about Crazy, Stupid, Love this summer because you guys have a lot to say about it! Let’s get serious for a second.

Mostly I am having a great time picturing you walking out of Wild Wild West! So huffy! Do you remember why you went to see it in the first place? Did it maybe have to do with Kevin Kline. Anyway, I agree: super-flawed.
elisabethdonnelly said: Whatta review. Pretty accurate, I would say. Feel like Emma Stone’s character got cut quite a bit? And soulmate and that lame little boy who looked like he missed the audition for a cameron crowe movie mattering…
Thank you! And I wonder. She could have had her own movie, right? But that was another thing, that I forgot to mention: this movie is LONG. It is two hours! TWO HOURS, THIS MOVIE. And a lot of it is really moody, put on a record and watch the rain fall sort of stuff. Which is a shame because the things that were so good were the funny bits. But it was like every twenty minutes the movie had to frown and say, “okay, that’s about’a enough fun, love is real serious.” And soulmate.

unbornwhiskey said: How can this many people fit in a movie
That is what the movie would like to know! It is pretty unsure of how to handle all of its excellence, like dinner at Downton Abbey without a footman and you never know exactly how the chauffeur or PTSD valet is gonna botch things up. (Right? Okay.) There is even at least one other character that I didn’t mention “the best friend” “of Emma Stone.” ALSO Analeigh from Top Model has parents, and one of those parents is played by Beth Littleford, for heaven’s sake! When by all rights it should have been Nancy Carell. I mean.

Nick. Come on. Nick. How long have we known each other. Of course I have seen Easy A. Did not an angel from heaven basically create that movie for me? Although to be honest I think my super-high expectations for Easy A damaged my perception a little bit, when I first saw it. I liked it a ton but I wanted transcendence. I actually caught it in my DVR net a few weeks ago so I could do a close re-watch. Maybe we can all talk about it then!
