Crazy, Stupid, Love, the superior 2011 rom-com starring Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, is 10 years old this year. Ten years isn’t much, right? You’ve probably got socks that are that old, or a car, maybe even some kids. But watching it again you’ll be struck by a few things. Firstly, it holds up pretty well: the jokes are still funny; the feels are still feely; Gosling’s spectacular abs are still, yes. Spectacular. Secondly, they don’t make films like
Crazy, Stupid, Love anymore, and perhaps there are some good reasons for that. Thirdly, a lot can happen in a decade – particularly the one we’ve just had. Ten years, it turns out, can be a lifetime.
