Absurd, Nonsensical, Devotion

Hello there readers-who-have-absolutely-nothing-to-do-so-you're-reading-my-blog. Don't worry, I am not under the impression that I am some amazing writer that everyone is dying to know what eloquently written material I will share with the world next... I am just a girl from Provo, Utah.

Today I am expressing my joy of the new movie (maybe you know what it is from my more intelligent title...) Stupid, Crazy, Love. You can only bring it up in so many conversations to your friends before they get bugged... so naturally I hit up the internet next. If you have not seen it... DO NOT... I repeat, DO NOT read this. GO TO THE NEXT SHOWING RIGHT NOW... and then come back.

This movie is AMAZING. Yeah, it's got its faults... A couple dirty and unnecessary relationships and/or scenes, but it pleasantly surprised me from what I thought I was getting into when I sat on the cold, leather movie theater seat. Kind of like the movie Click... (anyone see that movie besides me?) Don't judge a movie by the trailer ya'll.

I don't think I have ever felt so many emotions in one film. This movie will get you giggling uncontrollably, just like the handsome Ryan Gosling in the photo above. There are times I was crying from laughter because I didn't think the characters could get any more intertwined and complicated. Yet, there were times when my heart melted and wanted nothing more than the perfect happily ever after for everyone.

Among the common misconceptions of families and casualness of premarital sex, this movie sets out to teach a huge lesson. I love the fact that hot shot Jacob (Ryan Gosling) thinks he is everything and a bag of chips and ultimately gets taught a lesson by Mr. Sad-Sack-Divorced Weaver (Steve Carell). It's because in the end, endless women and one-night-stands does not bring one happiness. It's the commitment to one person that will change someone forever.

"I should have fought for you."

Jacob (Ryan Gosling) refers to "the one" as "the game changer." Jacob (Ryan Gosling) and Hannah's (Emma Stone) relationship is one I envy. I can't wait to be someone's game changer. She was his exception, the one who picked up the game board and threw it to the ground... and stomped on it. Goodbye player, hello committed lover.

"I'm in love with her and I don't know what to do about it."

One element of this movie that kills me, is that Hannah ends up being Mr. and Mrs. Weaver's daughter. What. A. Twist. It shows Mr. Weaver's (Steve Carell) true commitment and devotion as a father when he tells Jacob (Ryan Gosling) he will never be good enough for his daughter and will never give him his approval. You think he would be so excited that his new friend that got him back up on the dating horse would become a part of the fam, but he knows what's right and what his daughter deserves. And a womanizer is not the right match. Luckily Mr. Weaver (Steve Carell) finds out that Jacob (Ryan Gosling) is forever a changed man and gives him a chance.

"She's your soulmate, right? Go get her back!"

"Wow, how old are you?"

Okay, so I know I sound like some mushy-gushy hopeless romantic right now, but it's fine. Want to know why? Because this movie is that good. Get off your butt and go see it. Need a friend to go with? Call me up.

I'm already planning my second trip to the theater now.
