"Wait… Crazy, Stupid, Love is released!" Merlin shouted at the top of his lungs making his entire college friends wince.
"My ears! Dude! You know you are louder than a fucking bell! And I already got tickets for us, last Tuesday!"
"You pre-booked?!"
"You pre-booked?!"
"You what?!"
"Fucking heaven!"
The entire friend group was surprised that 'one' person had the brains to book all of their tickets.
"Bro, I thought you hated rom-coms? And, the Friday night out was supposed to be a thriller movie. Sixty-nine-thirty three. It was released last Monday too, what are we gonna do? Because I still want to watch the thriller movie. It's from a subordinary of Goofy. And, that is something… is trending these days!"
"Bro, not just that sixty-nine thirty-three, did you even watch the clips of the premiere? Even Noah Lincoln was there. What are the odds of Ian Renner making Noah act in another movie of his? I mean, the dude has quite a good idea when it comes to good actors. Also, have you ever seen how Scarlett acted in Batman?! I can honestly keep going on and on about Ian's movies because a hardcore fan in here!"
"We know. You haven't stopped talking about Ian and his original skills forever. Also, even the titles of the movies are kind of really original… Crazy, Stupid, Love…"
"How many tickets did you even buy? You know that I don't go anywhere without my girlfriend right?!" Another guy who was listening to the whole thing questioned, while still tapping on his screen.
"Yeah, p*ssy! But, I'm sorry, your girlfriend last time called me a bitch for stuffing myself with popcorn. Therefore, I made sure I left her out from the count!"
The other people's eyes turned to the person who just confessed his thoughts.
"Alright! Focus. Who watched La La Land?!" One of the men asked while some nodded, and two frowned.
"You both haven't?!"
Both of them shook their heads.
"Well well well, it's a rom-com, but a musical. No shit, but that's one of the best rom-com to ever exist! Like, in that… there's no happy ending but the journey was happy. It's realistic as heck and based on Hollywood. How about this, we do tonight's night watching La La Land, and tomorrow is the movie right… We can go watch it tomorrow?" He asked while all of them nodded.
"I'm not even kidding when I say, I'd watch this movie again. The music, dancing, and the way it was carried out are really impressive. As you all know, I'm a hopeless romantic, I can only wish that Crazy, Stupid, Love is better than that!"
They watched the movie for the rest of the night. Although the two men who hadn't watched the movie had interior doubts struggling about it considering that it was a rom-com, after the movie ended, they all had one thing in common.
"Let's watch Crazy, Stupid, Love."
"Still, no tickets for your girlfriend unless she writes a 1000 words essay on how to talk to your friends, a.k.a us."
Everyone groaned at his words.

Online.
After the premiere, the pictures, videos, and interviews were almost everywhere.
It was not because the celebrities were well-dressed and the premiere was held quite grandly, but also due to how the celebrities had given positive feedback after watching the movie.
On U-Tube and Nwitter, there was this video clip of two celebrities including Alexa, Chad—who acted as Lucifer in the series, and Alexa's date, explaining a scene to the reporters while laughing among themselves which went viral.
"My favorite part was… If you don't want spoilers, skip this video. But the lawn part is hilarious! The way the entire story was entangled from one person to another, and then the conclusion hit hard thinking—Ah, can I swear?... Yeah, the conclusion is like, Ah fucking hell! This is stupid and so fucked up! Like- I can never imagine it happening in real life, yet so hilarious and messed up!

Also, during the entire process, Chad was snorting like a pig while laughing, which made me laugh even more. This premiere is going to be something very interestingly tattooed in my mind!" Alexa talked to the camera.
"Hello, yes, the question is…. My favorite part… Overall, how the movie portrayed things to learn. Not gonna lie, Ian Renner is one of a kind in the industry. I'm sure the praises y'all get to hear about the man are never-ending. But also, all in all, his ideas, movie direction is like—seriously praise-worthy."
"Wait, you're not a British?!" The reporter asked right away.
"Bingo! What took you so long though? I have mentioned it in so many shows when the people go super duper surprised at my accent."
"Hehe… Yeah, it was quite surprising. But, back to the question, what were the lessons you were talking about?"
"Yeah, so … Number one—well these are going to be long ones, hope we are the final people you interview. But number one, Don't lose sight of who you are as a man. Remember that you are a man. Don't blame others for your misfortunes. Take responsibility for your actions and for who you are. Don't whine and don't make excuses. Number two, Be better than the gap. Ryan says this in the movie. So watch it to know. Number three, Details matter. Every. Little. Detail. Matter. Last but not least, Attitude and confidence are everything! So, what I can say for everyone who is listening is…. If you're a man, be a man."
Chad said while raising the glass of champagne in his hand. Alexa and her date nodded and clapped.
The theory of 'man' could have gotten in the wrong senses to sue Chad, but what he was saying was based on the movie. And in fact, it was common not just for men, but also for every person as an individual.
The comments that were written on U-Tube for this video were quite impressive. The temptation for people to watch the movie basically multiplied by thousands.
[@Loveaddicted.No]
I don't know where to begin with! The whole thing about the premiere is starting to fill up my recommendation list. So, I just clicked this because I saw Chad with a huge smile and a total fan of Lucifer. Now, I want to watch Crazy, Stupid, Love so BADLY!
[@Yourmommas.apple]
No one:
Literally no one:
Lucifer Morningstar: I learned things, and so should you. Be a man.
[@JeffreyRolls]
I went to the premiere. Ryan and Scarlett were so cute! I wish someone would put up that video because trust me, it is worth watching! They were so close and whispering and all that couple stuff! Can't wait to watch the movie!!
[@LAlover]
What- Why?! This video is e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e! Not that I'm complaining but man… Steve Carell was hilarious during his interview! Who saw it?! I want someone to put it up… Please! Also, Chad…. The dude's accent is hotter than my entire face!
It was just a few hours after the premiere. Because how the entire premiere was live telecasted almost everywhere, the people were already going crazy.
Ian's lucky factor with this movie was how there was no other competitive movie released on the same date.
The entire Hollywood spotlight was on Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Although there was a single movie that had the release dates closer to Crazy, Stupid, Love—since it was a horror movie, it wouldn't be much of a problem considering the genres never collided.
It was only a matter of fact till the word gets spread throughout Hollywood about how good the movie would be.
Then naturally, everything else comes to their side.

In Culver City, in a two-story house, there lived a couple who have married exactly seven years ago.
With no blessing with kids, their marriage was on the verge of splitting. Both of them were frustrated whenever they were with each other.
Yet, one of them still had undying feelings. The husband.
"Hey honey, I'm home!" He said and walked inside the house.
There was no response from her. Walking inside the house which was neatly arranged, he saw that she was watching the television while the snacks were in her hand.
"Mhm," she hummed.
"How was your day?" He asked.
This has been ongoing for almost two years. Yet, they didn't want to separate because of how they kept trying for a kid.
"Alright-" She said with a mouth full of snacks.
"Hmm…" He said and walked around the kitchen counter.
"So, can we talk?" He asked.
She nodded and turned the television off. They didn't hate each other, but simply the spark was gone.
And when two love birds tied the knot of marriage, the next step which would keep their marriage successful is a kid. The situation was unlucky, yet they both were loyal to each other for the sake of their pasts.
"Is everything okay?" She asked. Although she was the one to bring the topic, 'divorce' from time to time, his eyes looked serious.
"Yeah, honey, do you remember the last time we went on a date? Like an actual date… Not just your mom's or my mom's. But just the two of us?"
She shook her head.
"I have a surprise!" He said while taking the tickets for the first show in their local theatre.
"Wha- What?! Are you for real?!" She asked enthusiastically. "I… I have been thinking about asking you out for a date for the month. I'm sorry I didn't bring that up, but you're working so hard, and I didn't feel like making things harder for you. But a movie sounds perfect to me…"
She said and took the tickets.
'Crazy, Stupid, Love' The ticket had the name of the movie which made her grin stupidly.
'She is the same as she was,' he thought and smiled at her.
