Magic Marmalade 15th Mar 2023		Rated 8/10 Love Actually... for adults. This is another of those that had only bubbled away in the back of my consciousness since it's release... (I think the market and such made me simply categorize it as just another movie release at the time - nothing to write home about) ...But having stumbled across the DVD, I thought the time was right to give it a go - And I'm very glad I did! As I alluded to, this is along very similar lines (ish) to the walking abomination that is Love Actually in it's evident multi-stranded (and intertwining) tales of love. Except here, it's all kind of within one family and their world, proceeding from Juliane Moore's character Emily, announcing to Steve Carell's Cal that she's had an affair with someone at work, and wants a divorce... While dining out... it's news to him, a shock in fact, as well as to the other diners! This leads to a separation, and reveals other family love related bother such as the babysitter is in love with Cal, and their son, whom she babysits, is in turn in love with her. Where this really gets good is when Cal goes to a bar, in despair, and begins to bother the customers with his depression, including Ryan Gosling's local stud / pick up artist, who takes pity on Cal, and resolves to help him rediscover his mojo, by teaching him how to get with the ladies and become a stud himself. This odd couple bro-mance really is the beating heart of this movie, as it is actually (chuckle) very quite a warm relationship, as well as being laugh out loud funny and very witty. Gosling is brilliant in playing to the character he's given, and basically, everyone in this is great. More sharply written, presented, funnier, and effective, by orders of magnitude than the aforementioned schlock-fest, I think this could, and should be regarded in years to come, an early contender minor classic from the still recent-ish 2010s. Top level rom-com, having both elements of this genre combo in spades. (Especially the laughs!) ✔︎ Helpful Review?
