Movie Review: "Dan in Real Life"


If you are looking for a romantic comedy to get your evening going, this might just be the movie for you. Although I was a little dissapointed, the movie was overall...Okay. I am a really big fan of Steve Carell. I have really enjoyed all of his movies and television shows, but this movie was just really not his style. As the movie progreses, you will learn that Dan (Steve Carell), is a widowed father of three. His wife passed away three years ago, and he is having a hard time tryig to raise the three girls ranging from about 7 years old to 16 years old. He is a well known columnist/author that is not only having trouble with his daughters, but with all women PERIOD. He takes his daughters on a vacation to spend the week with the family, and on his first day there he finally meets a woman. When he returns to the house, he is telling his brothers about the girl when his brother's new girlfriend walks in...Guess Who??? The movie twists and turns from there, but it is all very predictable as it goes on and eventuall ends. Like I said, it was not a bad movie, but I will always expect more from Steve Carell.
