15 Hilarious And Heartbreaking ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ Quotes

A little over a decade ago, Crazy, Stupid, Love stole (and broke) our hearts by telling us a love story that hits a little too close to home: a man named Cal (Steve Carell) who was cheated on and left by his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) and who has to find out who he is outside of his marriage—and try to puzzle together what love and attraction truly are. This all-star cast also includes Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Kevin Bacon, and Marisa Tomei, who all play characters who are searching for what love means in their own lives—and who learn that sometimes relationships are confusing, tangled webs of connections that grow more and more complicated over time.

Cal: “I don’t know! I was supposed to say that you are the perfect combination of sexy and cute. Which is actually something that I used to say to my wife, but now it’s become corrupted, and I have eighteen layers of clothes on. I’m wearing a shirt and a tie and a sweater and a suede jacket that just seals in all the heat. Seals in all the juices. I’m just… it’s all sweat under here. This is just sweat from here down. This sweater, this is called slim cut, but it feels like a scuba suit, and I’m looking at your breasts. What’s that about?”
