Movie Review – Dan in Real Life (2007) – 3 Stars
As much as I never like to see an actor pigeon-hole themselves to the extent that Steve Carell has, you have to admit that he’s very good at looking awkward on screen. This movie is funnier than it seems at first, and the ensemble cast clearly have a lot of chemistry between them. Juliette Binoche weaves ‘Marie’ into the Burns family with ease, and is a great foil to Dan’s conflict of love and family values. There’s plenty to laugh about during, and think about at the end, of this film. It’s a nice rom-com that’s certainly worth a watch.
