Different from what I expecting I had a good surprise with the movie. It's no different from the general itself but is touching, romantic and sweet. Is one of the movies I wanna watch again and again cause you will always connect with at least one of the characters are going through. The story about a father of 3 daughters that meet his brother's girlfriend and fall in love in a family reunion is really unoriginal but the family, cast, itself changes the whole movie. It's all about the actors that made this family worth watching.

Rating : 9/10

My father's a murderer of love.

My boyfriend bought me this video and, probably, he assumed that I'll like it since it stars Steve Carrell. Dan in Real Life is not purely comedy. In fact, it caused me tears in the ending. Steve's performance is funny yet touching as well. His attachment to his late wife who died 4 years ago has turned him into a murderer of love: his 3 daughters hate him for killing joy in their family. Also, Steve's punchlines are good: not the exaggerated type of punchlines, which made the film more blissful. And wholesome. Juliette Binoche surprised me here. Unlike her role in Chocolat, she's kind of whorish in this one. Haha. :)

Rating : 6/10

Great RomCom, but predicable as hell

For starters, Steve Carell is the only reason I watched this film, and its the perfect role in which he excels at - as a lovable down-on-his-luck good guy with great punch lines. Not being a fan of romantic comedies (i'm a guy, after all), I still found myself somewhat impressed with this one, and even fought back tears in one scene (when Steve was telling his three daughters which part of them reminds him of his dead wife). And many of the jokes throughout are brilliant and funny. What I didn't like about this film was the cheezy family dynamics. Seriously, does ANYONE know a family out there that meets up for a week, get along perfectly (for the most part), exercise together, play football together, and even do special talent shows in front of each other by the fireplace? guitar...Read more

Great romantic comedy

Steve Carell at his best. Extremly funny, but never too much.

It's a great movie to relax and shut down. A lot like Family Stone

Love Steve Carell. Dane Cook continues to prove that the leap from standup to the silver screen is not working. Overall, it was good, but extremely awkward situations made me squirm in my theater seat. I definitely could have waited till video.
