Dan in Real Life
Love and family are explored in this hilarious film about a single dad (Steve Carell) who is struggling to raise 3 girls. Suddenly, he thinks he has found love again at the big family gathering. It is about young love, forbidden love, and love of family. The movie feels very warm and cozy as the family plays together, sings together, and laughs together. The entire cast is wonderful. Carell and Juliette Binoche play well off of each other as the story builds and starts to turn. Both Carell and Dane Cook are dialed back enough from their usual comedy extremes to be more human and enjoyable. This movie is so cute, so adorable, and such great fun that you’ll wish you were a part of this family.
Alien gives it 3 ½ “please adopt me” stars out of 4.
