I had a pizza and movie  date with my hubby tonight . I picked Dan in Real Life.  I’m not going to try to be a movie critic or anything, so maybe I shouldn’t title it “review” but that is what it is basically. But just my opinions of the movie

Dan in Real Life stars Steve Carell (from The Office- love that show btw) and Dane Cook (the comedian) and also Juliette Binoche who is in mostly international films it looks likes. Dan (Carell) is a widower with 3 daughters and Mitch (Cook) is one of his brothers and Marie (Binoche) is a love interest. Basically the whole thing is set at their parents house for an annual family gathering. Of course all families have their ups and downs/good times and not so good of times and it just takes you through that. It is a comedy- if you couldn’t’ tell, so you will laugh a lot! I laughed, I cried (well close, I got a little teary) then laughed again, cried again, laughed again… back and forth really. So if your moods are feeling a bit unstable I suggesting waiting until you balance out to watch this movie… haha.

One of my favorite parts is (if you’ve seen previews you have probably seen this part) the middle daughter is mad at her dad for sending her boyfriend away because shes obsessively in love with him but has only known him for 3 days and he is older. She screams at him “YOU ARE A MURDERER OF LOVE.” so funny. But the even funnier part of it is when they are discussing talents. One of the sisters says that Dan doesn’t have a talent and he replies, “oh yes I do, I am a murderer of love, write that down.”

 

It’s a good movie, I recommend you go rent it! I give it… 4 out of 5 stars.
