dan in real life

I wanted to love this movie, but from the ill-conceived Sondre Lerche soundtrack to the beating down of the intellectual, I left the movie ticked off. Juliette Binoche is lovely, Emily Blunt has a really funny scene and Steve Carrell is good as always. But overall, I was disappointed and hated most of the other characters. I wanted all the daughters to be given up for adoption and Dane Cook should not be allowed to act in film every again. I gave the movie a six because the good scenes are REALLY good, just too far and in between for me. I felt like I was watching "The Family Stone"-another movie about a completely unlikable family. Steve Carrell's character would be best to ditch the fam, move to Paris with Juliette's character and forget they knew the horrid family they left behind. Steve Carrell might have an understated Oscar-worthy performance somewhere deep inside, but it's not here folks. Dan in Real Life is a comedy film to be released October 26, 20
07. It was filmed in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, Jamestown, Rhode Island, Westerly, Rhode Island (and in turn Misquamicut, Rhode Island), and Providence, Rhode Island in November and December 2006. The film is directed by Peter Hedges (Pieces of April).

Single dad and popular family advice columnist Dan Burns (Steve Carell) falls for a beautiful stranger, Marie, (Juliette Binoche) in a bookshop, only to discover she's the very same woman his charismatic brother (Dane Cook) is about to introduce as his new girlfriend at their parents' annual get-together. As the weekend gets underway, Dan and Marie scramble to hide their mutual attraction to each other, resulting in a series of awkward situations. Yet, even under those circumstances, they can't help falling in love.
