This was a good story. Steve Carrell is great at playing a pathetic loser, especially on The Office. Here he is a little toned down and a little more intelligent, but still a loser. The movie was a little predictable and... Full review

SMARMY DUD WITH UNFUNNY STEVE CARELL

When you view this dud on cable, ask yourself if you would want to associate with the Carell character. He is a too cute, smarmy sad sack of a man. The actor is way overrated and should be selling shoes for... Full review

The film tackles everything. It was so good. The film didn't try to be over the top, but it really stayed true to the message it was trying to give. The film shows genuine emotion and displays much realism, which maybe... Full review
Funny Story, Wonderful Setting, Great Acting

This is the best movie I've seen in a long time. Carrell was hilarious. The cast seemed like real people in real life. The actors did a terrific job "acting" like they were experiencing real life situations rather than performing. I... Full review

I Almost Forgot to Hate Dane Cook: But it's a testament to how lame everything is here that he almost gets out without bothering you too much. Dear Steve Carell, Please Do Not Become Robin Williams: I know you're not reading this review, but I feel compelled to speak to you personally about this, because if you do become Robin Williams, I'll have to stop watching The Office . ...

The complex and textured relationships that form the film's foundation are between Dan and his daughters (Alison Pill, Brittany Robertson, Marlene Lawston, all excellent), his brother Mitch (Cook) and mother (Dianne Wiest). Discovering love's 'rightness from wrongness' is the thrust of this warm and naturally funny film that weaves all kinds of love together in one compelling package. ... Full Review

It doesn't succeed on all fronts, despite an incredibly strong cast, but when Dan In Real Life pulls it out of the bag it's like an itch that you can't scratch... It's highly likely that director Dan In Real Life Peter Hedges might suffer the feelgood fate from a variety of reviewers ... Full Review

Actually, "Dan in Real Life" can best be summed up by a conversation that Dan and Marie had when they first met in the book store. But as good as Carell is in "Dan in Real Life," the film wouldn't be as enjoyable if it were not for the speed bumps that are thrown in front of the entire family. ... Full Review
