It’s fitting that Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon have supporting roles in Crazy Stupid Love (out Friday). After all, Tomei could have her own Six Degrees-like board game, having worked with everyone from Lisa Bonet to Joe Pesci to Sissy Spacek to Mickey Rourke throughout a variety of genres.

It really was. I’m sure you’ve heard from many other people what a gem Steve Carell is. He’s just a prince among men; he’s…
