Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Id seen this movie a while ago but wow what a Rom com. Doesn’t fall into cliches and tells its own unique story, each character feels fleshed out and real with believable intentions and understandable actions. The performances all round were great. This movie was close to being a perfect Rom com, but Jesus there is one flaw. The whole 17 year old plot line i get it’s meant to mirror his dad and also give extra shock for the reveal but oh my god did it give me the heebi jeebies. She fully takes child pornography and it j gets brushed under the rug he would of course be arrested because who would j believe her word if she is ‘in love’ with him. Also the son she repeatedly says no in a straight up way to the point of desperation it’s not like the mum we know she likes him but we get no intuition that she likes him and in the end he gets rewarded - moral of that story don’t worry about reciprocation in relationships.  I loved this movie but omg did that character arc come almost close to ruining it.
