Movie Review - Dan in Real Life
April 1, 2008 5:27 am Movies, TV and Music
Over the weekend I saw a couple of movies on video so I figured I’d give my opinion on them. The first one that we saw was Dan in Real Life. I thought this movie was great!
It’s funny because I think the movie was very realistic. You could really for for the guy, and honestly feel sorry for what he’s going through for the whole movie. The other really funny (and really realistic) part was the the love-struck teenage daughter. My wife and I kept mentioning how it reminded us of her sisters when they were around that age.
Without giving the whole plot away, the movie is about a guy that is raising 3 daughters on his own after his wife has died. They go to a family get together and while he’s at the bookstore taking a breather Dan meets the woman of his dreams. He returns to the family talking about the girl he met at the bookstore, only to find out that she’s the girlfriend of his brother that was coming to the same get together. That’s all I’ll say for now, but it’s quite the funny story.
If you haven’t seen Dan in Real Life I would highly recommend it. It’s a really clean movie too and I think it’s one of the better movies that Steve Carell has done.

I have been holding off on seeing this. I have heard it wasn’t great, but the previews look good and I generally trust Steve Carell.
