Sony Pictures Classics' Damsels in Distress after having closed the Venice Film Festival, is getting lots of positive buzz here in Toronto and its stars graced the Red Carpets of VISA Screening Room tonight for the latest effort by Director Whit Stillman.

Stars Greta Gerwig, Analeigh Tipton and Adam Brody spent time post-Premiere interacting with Fans and I got to give the beautiful and talented Tipton a big hug in-person!  Unfortunately I didn't get a Photo in time as her Handler rushed her off while we were talking, but hoping to see her tomorrow morning at my Screening. Love her!  Even Film Critic Extraordinare Roger Ebert attended the Premiere this evening, appearing satisfied.  Can't wait to see this one!

A bit of exclusive info from one of Hollywood's hottest new talents herself.  Analeigh Tipton who has won tons of praise for Breakout Role in Crazy, Stupid, Love., confirmed with me that she and her Damsels in Distress Co-stars Adam Brody and Greta Gerwig are Toronto-bound in September!  Their Film by Whit Stillman (who directed one of my favourites, The Last Days of Disco) will be closing out the Venice Film Festival and then they will be en route to our City.  How exciting!

What's even more amazing is that Tipton wants to thank me personally for all my support. *scream* Analeigh, we're so on!  Best Tour Guide ever right here. You name it.

CRAZY STUPID LOVE. - MOVIE REVIEW

Still from Crazy Stupid Love.

Widely-regarded as one of the most anticipated Rom-Coms of 2011, Crazy Stupid Love. delivers every bit of promise that it hints. This complicated Love Story centers around a married Couple, Cal (Steve Carell) and Emily (Julianne Moore), who are set to divorce after she cheats on him with a Co-worker of hers, David (Kevin Bacon). This of course impacts their two young Children Robbie (Jonah Bobo) and Molly (Joey King) but Cal especially struggles being in his mid-40s and now forced to re-enter the Dating scene again. He lacks the social graces to be at any type of an advantage after marrying young and never dating anybody else other than Emily.

Cal comes across handsome Playboy Jacob (Ryan Gosling) at a bar one night and under that one’s tutelage, his life is turned around, undergoing a Makeover and projecting a confident approach with Women. Despite appearing better off, Cal still however, is lonely. Both he and Emily realize that perhaps a Divorce might not be the best answer to their problems. Along the way, Jacob meets vivacious young Lawyer Hannah (Emma Stone) who just might be the one to trigger a change to his Playboy lifestyle. Is it too late for Cal though and has he veered too far off-path that their Marriage is now irreparable?

WHO IS ANALEIGH TIPTON?

Analeigh Tipton in Crazy Stupid Love

I never would've guessed she had it in her but America's Next Top Model Cycle 11's second runner-up Analeigh Tipton is quite the Actress!  I just came out of a screening for Crazy Stupid Love, the first breakout role for the 22 year-old as Jessica - a lovelorn Babysitter - and for the life of me I could not pinpoint where exactly I knew her from. Finally my Friend Kara pointed out to me her ANTM roots and suddenly it all came together!

Tipton not only held her own against the likes of Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, but dare I say, she stole the show? She is remarkable.
