IMDb - Crazy, Stupid, Love

Short Review: Due to the negative comments from a few friends, I had low expectations when I began watching this film. As it progressed I laughed several times, and enjoyed it thoroughly. LOVED the climax - was not expecting it at all. AND the epic cast of several talented actors, made me love it even more.

Synopsis: Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN. (Written by Twentieth Century Fox)
