Warner Bros. marketers are trying to sell the notion that Glenn Ficarra and John Requa‘s Crazy Stupid Love (Warner Bros., 7.29) is another Steve Carell formula comedy in the vein of The 40 Year-Old Virgin (i.e., insecure, socially clumsy, sexually-inexperienced schmuck tries to make out with girls). But I’m told the film is more of a La Ronde-type ensemble piece with all kinds of criss-crossing fates, and that it’s nicely written by animated-feature and Fred Claus screenwriter Dan Fogelman. We’ll see.
