In just five days, one of the greatest romcoms of the 21st century will be removed from your Netflix account.
Despite being added only at the beginning of May, the movie is set to be removed on July 1 - and it isn't for a lack of viewership.
The film has previously been praised as 'perfection' by fans, with the 'greatest plot twist in the history of cinema', and featuring an elite cast of two-time Oscar-winner Emma Stone, Golden Globe-winner Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Kevin Bacon - it's no surprise that it's cinema gold.
The 2011 film follows middle-aged Cal Weaver (Carell), who goes through a mid-life crisis when his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) asks for a divorce.

Now, back in the dating world, things aren't going well for Cal, so he enlists the help of Jacob Palmer (Gosling), a suave womanizer who takes him under his wing.
However, Jacob goes through his own crisis when he falls in love with Hannah (Stone), who doesn't fall for his usual tricks.
But he isn't the only one with a crush as Cal's teenage son has a thing for his babysitter, however, she has a crush on Cal - so you can imagine the impending chaos.
And what would you know, there's a family BBQ coming up...
Of course, I'm speaking of Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is a critical and viewer darling at 79 and 78 per cent, with some critics calling it 'an engaging watch' and 'universally excellent'. Crazy, Stupid Love also received a monster score of 7.4 on IMDb - monster for a rom-com that is!
However, if its been sitting in your watchlist for a while, then best get cracking as it is reportedly scheduled to leave the platform on July 1, according to What's On Netflix.
The aforementioned BBQ scene is a particular favorite amongst viewers, as one person wrote: "We don’t see as many rom-coms these days bc they’re afraid they’ll never top this scene."
And everyone was in agreement, with someone else writing: "This is kinda the greatest plot twist in the history of cinema when you think about it."
When someone else mentioned Gosling's laugh at the police officer's quote of 'keep it in the family', the OP replied with: "ICONIC."
"Whenever I come across this scene, I will leave whatever I am doing and watch it. absolute GOAT plot twist. love it," tweeted another.
