Storyline

- TriviaWhile rehearsing for the scene where Ryan Gosling lifted Emma Stone in the air "Dirty Dancing" style, Stone didn't realize she had a phobia of being lifted high up until the first time Gosling did it. She had a full meltdown, which Gosling described as "like a possum falling out of a tree and trying to scratch your eyes out." Afterwards she ran away crying and had to lie in bed watching Labyrinth to calm down. Her phobia came from when she was 7 years old and fell off the high bars in gymnastics and broke both her arms. They ended up using a body double for the lift, but they did use the recording of Stone's real screams.

Featured review
Hilarious n entertaining.
I first saw this a decade ago on a dvd which I own.
Revisited it recently with my family aft seeing the trailer of Licorice Pizza.
The similarities in both movies are noteworthy n one can easily make out that Licorice Pizza is copied from this movie.
Inspite of not being a fan of romatic comedy movies, I enjoyed this movie then n now too.
It is hilarious n the acting is top notch.
The movie is about a man who seeks to rediscover his manhood and is taught how to pick up women at bars.
The star cast is top notch n the film moves at a decent pace.
The babysitter is played by Lio Tipton who was 23 during this movie but she succeeded in portraying a teenager's role.
Her nudity n sex scenes in the movie Compulsion was kinda shocking for me.
