A great movie that looks at love, and recovery through the eyes of a widower with three daughters. A wonderful drama/comedy that looks at family in a wonderful way.

Dan In Real Life (directed by Peter Hedges) is a family reunion that you can attend in your own living room. And you won't have to deal with kissing aunts, loud children and bragging cousins.
Dan Burns (Steve Carell) is a middle-aged widower with three daughters (Alison Phil, Brittany Robertson and Marlene Lawston). Even though he is a relationship columnist and trained in helping others, he can't help himself find love. While attending a family reunion at his parent's house in Rhode Island, he meets Marie (Juliette Binoche) at a book shop. The two click instantly but part ways, Dan promising to call her. When he arrives back at the house he discovers that Marie is his younger brother Mitch's (Dane Cook) girlfriend. Chaos ensues as Dan struggles to hold back his feelings for her.
The family is perfectly cast. Though overbearing at times, I can sense that they truly care about his well being. They do crosswords together. They exercise, hold a talent show, all while having fun. But they are not perfect. Their remarks about Dan and his lack of a love life are at times crass and unsupportive. The characters are also flawed. Dan's younger brother has a murky past that involves a parade of women. I'm glad that the writers make them loving but most importantly human, imperfect.
Carell and Binoche have tremendous chemistry with one another. They are struggling with a situation they've been shoved into. Their love jumps out of the screen and they compel people to root for them.
I also enjoy the humor. Carrell is a brilliant humorist. He rises to acting superiority when he takes on complicated movies (I.e. Little Miss Sunshine) as opposed to the family movies he has starred in. Cook also surprises.
Some parts of the movie like the shower scene are unrealistic. I cannot picture that happening in real life. I feel that the director threw it into the movie for laughs.
The major problem I had was with the daughters; mainly the two eldest. I understand that the middle child is a teenager and has plenty of hormones pumping through her body. I can excuse some of her behavior though not all of it. But the oldest daughter is self-righteous and harsh to Dan. She wants to travel the world. She wants to be perceived as mature. But the way she acts towards her own father proves that she is not capable of doing either. At the beginning she appears to be kind and friendly. However, she loses me when she tells Dan that he doesn't stand a chance with Marie.
Despite some of its character and writing flaws, Dan In Real Life is a sweet light-hearted romantic comedy that proves love at first sight is possible.

this movie is so good I had to buy it. It was like "Real life"
I was honestly surprised by how much I disliked this movie. Its 98 long minutes of fake. There's not a moment of honesty or sincerity in this entire cloying, Hollywood crapfest. Widower, Dan, takes his three daughters to a family get-together. Every one acts precisely the way some hack writer might imagine a real family would behave. One dimensional and oblivious. A running "joke" is that Dan is forced to sleep in the laundry room where every night just at bedtime his mother runs their rickety old clothes dryer which isn't anchored in place and makes a racket that would wake the dead. Hilarious. The story, such as it is, which arrives crammed against a subplot involving Dan being overprotective of his ungrateful daughters, is typical Hollywood coincidence 101 with a quick, neatly tacked on ending. Junk.

After being put off by the picture on the DVD cover as displayed in Instant Netflix, I finally watched Dan in Real Life on TV. I loved it. Besides just liking to look at Maria/Anne (Juliette Binoche), I was taken with her changing facial expressions as she gradually is attracted to Dan. The film is a nice mix of comic situations with the real struggles of the characters as the plot thinkens/unfolds. I also thought Dan's three girls are so realistic as kids of that age. Lots of fun for us chick flick affectionados. -tower
"More than a comedy"

This is a very poignent and touching love story. You might expect something different with Steve Carell but he shows an ability in this film to be funny AND tender. Juliette Binoche is a stunning actress and she seems to raise the game of everyone else in the cast to a very high level. It's a beautiful story about families, love, and loss.
I bought the DVD "Used, like new" on Amazon for $5.99. It came relatively quickly and like new, as advertised. That's a great deal for such a movie.
