Jesse Eisenberg is Nick. A guy who hates his job, his boss & probably his life. What does he do for a living? He delivers pizzas like a NASCAR Ninja in just 30 Minutes or Less. Nick’s last delivery is gonna be a doozy. Two second rate losers (Danny McBride & Nick Swardson) hatch a plan to make quick money. Instead of robbing a bank themselves, they’ll strap a homemade bomb on a stranger & make him do it.
As you’ve seen in the trailer, once the bomb has been planted on Nick, he seeks help from his best friend Chet (Aziz Ansari). Armed with only knowledge of 80′s action flicks, these two idiots rob the local bank to the tune of 100,00 bucks.
Two familiar faces are scene stealers with limited screen time. First, the hitman (Michael Peña). Very funny. Also, from TV’s “Rules of Engagement,” is Bianca Kajlich who plays a local stripper. While dancing on Danny McBride, Bianca goes full blown topless. No special digital effects or enhancements. Man, the one time I want 3D & it’s not even there.
The idea of these two numb nuts getting away with this high profile robbery in Grand Rapids, Michigan is certainly a stretch. You’ll just have to go with it. It’s a straight up rated R stoner comedy. If you dug “Pineapple Express,” this is your movie.
There’s nothing worse than having a bomb strapped to your chest. Can you imagine!?! On the other hand, there’s nothing better than the Film Freak iPhone – iPad App. It’s the movie app that saves you money on movies. Just search Film Freak

Crazy, Stupid, Love. had a nice movie trailer. It showed a story of Steve Carell’s character going through tough times with Julianne Moore’s character. There was another layer in the trailer with Emma Stone’s character getting together with Ryan Gosling’s character. After seeing this ‘nice’ trailer, I swore to myself, I know this movie. I’ve already seen this movie.
The reality is: This nice trailer did not do the movie justice at all. I’m watching the movie thinking to myself, this has twists & unpredictability. After almost three decades of marriage, Cal (Steve Carell) and Emily (Julianne Moore) are just about done as a couple. While trying to numb himself with booze, Cal meets & befriends Jakob Palmer (Ryan Gosling) a slick swordsmen who snares a smokin’ hot chick every night.
Cal undergoes a Manly Man Makeover & his confidence is boosted. Across town, Hannah (Emma Stone) is having her own love troubles with her boyfriend Richard (Josh Groban).
There were standout performances from Jonah Bobo as their love-struck 14-year old son. Also, a convincing performance by Analeigh Tipton as the babysitter. Kevin Bacon & Marisa Tomei are always good in supporting roles.
I’m going to predict: Crazy, Stupid, Love. will garner a Golden Globe nomination in the Best Comedy or Musical category.
