Orlando Sentinel
As a Steve Carell comedy, it works. He plays the victim well, the guy romantically in over his head ever better. Surrounding him with people this funny - Ryan Gosling, who knew?

The movie suffers perhaps from too many characters and subplots but all the actors appear to have fun with their characters.
