Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and Focus Features plans to bring the Steve Carell and Keira Knightley drama/comedy late October.

Wow, October is going to be just as expensive as September. Really want this, but the way releases are shaping up, early November would have worked better for my wallet.

I'll wait on this. It wasn't bad, it wasn't great...I'd still like to see it again though. It's strange... it's a comedy but the drama in it is better than the comedy is.

Ned Schneebly · 08-23-2012, 01:28 AM

did this come out theatrically?

Leonidas King · 08-23-2012, 01:28 AM

I was always interested in watching this but never actually came to any theaters by me, if it did I know it didn't last longer than a week. The concept behind it seems interesting though.

Typical indie limited release (I believe). Came and went.

I actually think I'll pass on this one. I liked it, it was touching. More likable as a drama than a comedy. I know I'll see it again at some point, but not frequently enough to own.

It grossed quite a bit for a typical indie limited release.

Box office: $7,934,025

Well it was decently advertised and has a strong cast. Not surprising. By typical I was referring to it coming and going quickly, without much notice.

SwaggerJagger · 08-23-2012, 01:46 AM

Was just thinking about this one on Monday. I want to see it, but I don't think I'd blind buy it.

Hawkguy · 08-23-2012, 01:50 AM

I don't think it was too limited of a release, actually...it's just that nobody noticed it or saw it and it kind of came and went..

Leonidas King · 08-23-2012, 01:51 AM

Steve Carell movies never seem to disappoint, at least for me. Dan In Real Life being my favorite of his work.

Isn't that more of a drama/comedy than comedy as well? Then there's a better chance of you liking this.

I love Dan in Real Life. I was so surprised when I watched it on tv one random Saturday and fell in love with the characters, story, etc.

Ned Schneebly · 08-23-2012, 01:58 AM

I am really disappointed I missed this in the theaters. I loved the previews and was looking forward to it. How I missed it I'll never know.

Scottie · 08-23-2012, 02:20 AM

Crazy, Stupid, Love is my favorite movie from him.

chris_sc77 · 08-23-2012, 02:47 AM

Loved this but I wont be buying this for more than $8 unless it comes with an amazing amount of special features which I doubt it will.

It's actually more of a comedy than drama, but still drama. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy this one, thanks for the tip.

This. It's a very underrated Steve Carell movie and its actually his more deepest performance IMO.

Britnasty · 08-23-2012, 03:18 AM

Loved this film. Saw it the day it came out at 7pm and I was the only one in the theatre.

Day one for me.
