In this film, Cal Weaver ([[Steve Carell]]) is living the dream - he's got a good job, nice house, and great kids. Cal gets the surprise of his life when he learns his wife Emily ([[Julianne Moore]]) has been cheating on him with a coworker, David Lindhagen (Kevin Bacon), and wants a divorce. After moving into his own apartment, Cal begins grieving at a bar night after night talking to himself about his situation where he meets a young man named Jacob Palmer ([[Ryan Gosling]]). Jacob is a womanizer who successfully beds women each night, although he does take a particular interest in a young woman named Hannah ([[Emma Stone]]), the only woman to resist his advances. Not wanting to watch Cal keep draining his sorrows night after night, Jacob agrees to teach him his trade so that he can have the confidence to earn Emily back. Because Emily is the only woman Cal has even been with, Cal doesn't have much experience, so Jacob gives Cal a makeover and has him watch his tricks at the bar.

* [[Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic]]: Averted; characters trip over their own tongues, repeat words, have awkward pauses in the middle of or between sentences, interrupt each other or don't finish their thoughts. This seems to be common in Steve Carrell films.
* [[Romantic False Lead]]: David
