Poor Cal Weaver had no clue that his wife had plans to divorce him. He thought that was living the American dream: good job, great family, nice house until wife Emily (Julianne Moore from The Big Lebowski and Boogie Nights) announced she wants out of the marriage. Cal (Steve Carell of television's The Office, movies Evan Almighty, and The 40-Year-Old Virgin) has no clue as he's been out of the dating scene for quite a while but friend Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling of Lars and the Real Girl and The Believer) offers advice on how to pick up girls, what clothes to wear, and how to get back in the dating "groove".hen Cal finds out his 13 year old son has a crush on his babysitter, 17 year old Jessica (Analeigh Tipton) he also learns she has romantic interests in Cal himself. Even though Cal has plenty of help readjusting to the single life, he longs for life the way it was. Look for Kevin Bacon who plays David Lindhagen, co-worker of Cal's wife Emily. When the two begin an affair it's certainly no help for Cal's situation. Life just seems more complicated when you're in love. Crazy, Stupid, Love.
