It's Chick Flick Wednesday at The Strand!  Join us for a cocktail social starting at 7:00pm, followed by a great 'Chick Flick' at 7:30pm

A middle-aged husband's (Carell) life changes dramatically when his wife (Moore) asks him for a divorce. He seeks to rediscover his manhood with the help of a newfound friend, Jacob (Gosling), learning to pick up girls at bars..

The creative team has a very difficult time landing on a title for this film.  They even held an on-set contest, offering a new iPad to the first person who offered a title that they liked.  The film was released to theaters under the code name: First Date.

Steve Carell has said that he hates the title of the film, stating that he couldn't imagine a group of college guys saying, "Five tickets to Crazy, Stupid, Love. please." One of the working titles Carell preferred was "The Wingman," which he felt was a boring title but more accurately described the film's plot.

On-Screen Chemistry Dream Team: Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone would later appear in Gangster Squad (2013) and La La Land (2016). In all three films, they play a couple.

When Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell discuss getting "Mr. Miyagi'd," Gosling grabs Carell's nose and squeezes playfully, saying, "Honk!" This is a reference to The Karate Kid Part II (1986), where Mr. Miyagi honked the nose of an opponent, instead of striking him. 

The film cast includes three Oscar winners: Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, and Marisa Tomei; and two Oscar nominees: Steve Carell, and Ryan Gosling.
