A romantic comedy revolving around the protagonist Steve Carell in one of his typical roles, that of the somewhat clumsy middle-aged man who this time gets dumped by his wife (Julianne Moore) after twenty-five years of marriage. This will force him, under the guidance of a Latin lover played by one of the hottest actors of the moment, Ryan Gosling, to get back in the game. The cast, which for a film that isn’t exactly a blockbuster, can be defined as 'stellar', also features Emma Stone and includes supporting roles from talented actors like Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon. It may or may not appeal to you; I would call it a successful film, of course, with a predictable happy ending that perhaps could have been delivered in a better and slightly more spectacular way.
