IntroductionCrazy, Stupid, Love, released in 2011 by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, is a typical Hollywood exploration of relationships, mainly romantic with a strenuous beginning, a positive and meaningful closure and a hilarious interim. The story of Cal, a simpleton dealing with a mid-life crisis, takes a different turn as it combines with the second half of the plot: Jacob, a hedonistic version of the charming Date Doctor Hitch in the film of the same name. Jacob Palmer as Pick-Up Artist Jacob, played by Ryan Gosling, took command in the film alongside Steve Carell's humorous and effortless performance. The appeal for divorce which exposes the pieces of a marital relationship after 25 years seals the germination of an unlikely bromance. The chemistry between the player (Jacob) and his protege further pushes the plot into what becomes a seductive chick flick, thanks to Gosling's six-pack abs that earned the film its genre. It goes without saying that Ryan Gosling as a pickup gave a major boost to the entertainment value of Crazy, Stupid, Love, despite sharing the screen with Golden Globe winners and Oscar-nominated actors. With special attention to Casanova's colloquial style, it can be said that the film has risen to the notable level of romantic comedy. Cal's plummeting life takes him to a local bar, where he has a chance encounter with Jacob, who takes pity on his misfortune and takes him on an expedition of self-discovery and self-fulfillment through reclaiming his manhood. The conversational specialist "Manprovement" may be the right term for the lesson that Jacob Palmer imparts to his miserable friend for whom he feels pity and sympathy. It's about... middle of paper...-advice, Jacob manages to arm Cal into a wonderful date while helping him get his derailed family life back on track. Ultimately, the film delivers two messages, one of which is through Gosling as Jacob. The first message embraces and supports the idea of monogamy, according to which every being is destined to have a soul mate and the goal is to find "the one" who will make life better. The second message is that love alone cannot make a relationship survive. Too much focus on social and professional life and lack of spark, or the X factor, can ruin the chemistry between two romantically linked people in a marital relationship. The character of Jacob Palmer represents the first and, although he remained off track for a long time, it is in Hannah that he found his fulfillment. Ultimately, his womanizing nature found rest as his true love found in Hannah.
