Every Friday, The Takeaway looks at the week’s new film releases. Hitting the multiplexes this weekend is “Crazy Stupid Love” is a romantic comedy starring Steve Carell as a recent divorcé navigating the dating world, and Ryan Gosling as source of romantic advice. Also out is “The Smurfs,” a combination live-action and animated movie, based on the ’80s cartoon about tiny blue creatures. And “Cowboys and Aliens” is a western meets alien invasion flick, starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Olivia Wilde. Rafer Guzman, film critic for Newsday, and Takeaway producer Kristen Meinzer, hosts of The Takeaway’s Movie Date podcast, weigh in on this week’s new releases.
