Steve Carell’s best film performance to date can be found in the fitfully engaging Dan In Real Life, where his long-suffering persona suits a character who lets his long-dormant hopes rise for a moment, only to be shot down again. Carell plays Dan Burns, a newspaper columnist who writes about family issues and relationships. As a widower with three growing girls to raise, however, the difference between Dan’s printed wisdom and his struggles with fatherhood and loneliness is often vast. He’s put to a severe test when he packs up the kids for a cabin holiday with his parents and siblings, then falls for the exotic, if elusive, Marie (Juliette Binoche) during a solo excursion to a bookstore. Stirred by a woman for the first time since his late wife, Dan is shocked to find that Marie is actually dating his brother Mitch (Dane Cook), and that she’ll be spending the vacation with him in the midst of his family. From that point, the script, co-written by director Peter Hedges (Pieces of April), pretty much becomes a parade of difficult circumstances under which both Dan and Marie have to keep their attraction to one another secret. Certain scenes work better than others, but there is an overall monotony to the movie that isn’t helped by a lack of onscreen chemistry between Binoche and Carell. Both actors are fine on their own terms, but whatever is supposed to be clicking between Marie and Dan isn’t compelling enough to make one truly care that they get together somehow. Still, this is a film with plenty of moments to like, especially when Carell gets to broaden his previous range of emotions in a movie. --Tom Keogh

I was really excited when I ordered this product because it was a Christmas gift for my best friend. When it arrived I was slightly less than thrilled. The product information had said it was in very good condition, but when it got here that didn't quite seem to be a proper description. The cardboard covering was ripped and warn so I had to just throw it away before I gave the gift away. I was a little bit worried when I gave it to my friend because really who wants to give a less than perfect gift ... Read More

This was a purchase for a Christmas present. The item was received in time for the holiday and was in the condition represented. I would most certainly purchase from this seller again.

Looking for a movie that is funny, engaging, and clean and gets you thinking? If so, "Dan In Real Life" is it! Dan (Steve Carell) is an advice columnist who, despite the help he provides to his readers, is floundering as a single parent raising three daughters. When they head to a Rhode Island beachfront cottage for an extended family vacation, things really get tangled. Sent by his mother to get the newspaper, this widower meets Marie (Juliette Binoche) in the book section. They are immediately ... Read More

Another title for this movie could be, 'A Fist Full Of Cliches'. Another reviewer said that Steve Carell was pretty good up until the shower scene - he wasn't. I'm putting the same amount of energy into this review as went into the script.

The rich scenario played on a stage of a rich culture takes us to a complicated romantic situation, to a deep and powerful love which unfortunately is impossible due to the fact that it must face boundaries, the ones built by love of a different kind.
I rented "Dan in Real Life" with having a mysterious doubt in my mind, but it turned out to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. Then, I surprised myself when I ended up watching it six times in a week only.
