Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

diogomanuel This movie is first and foremost about love, and it feels so genuine and realistic because it shows love as it usually happens - unexpectedly! You will have to 'feel' and understand the story in order to appreciate it.The story of Dan (one of Steve's best performances I've seen to date!) is the story of many single men and women around the world: feeling lonely while everyone around seem to have a great partner for life's dance.Juliette Binoche (Marie) is a great actress! We already knew it from Chocolate but in this movie she is outstanding. She and Steve shared a special chemistry while making this movie. I'm sure that at the very least they are good friends in real life.When you do feel the story, this will be one of those movies you come back to every now and then...

chaofreaks1 Peter Hedges gives us a movie about a guy named Dan, who have a reunion with his family... I really can't remember the movie that much, and I saw it a FEW DAYS AGO!! I thought the movie was still very good, the acting were promising, the country music was decent, the setting worked very well, and the plot was very good, I give this movie a 8.5 out of 10.

FilmBuff1994 Dan in Real Life is a great movie with a very well written storyline that has a very good mix of very dramatic and depressing scenes,as well as plenty of very funny scenes. Judging from the films poster,I thought this was going to be a very goofy comedy,but it was actually a very mature and grown up movie on one of those family situations where you know no one is going to come out victorious.Steve Carell did a fantastic job as Dan,he is great on at any kind if comedy because he can play both dramatic characters and ones that are just stupid.If your a fan of drama comedies then you will definitely enjoy Dan in Real Life. Several years after his wives death,Dan (Steve Carell) thinks he may have met the perfect woman.However,this woman is dating his brother.This leads to an awkward weekend with the whole family.

nomoons11 This is one of those films that you see in your que or at the video store that you put on the back burner and try later. Next time you see it, grab it, it'll be so worth your time.I just love everything about this film. It's one that is just got so much heart it just permeates the entire film. Steve Carell is a widower who barely gets by writing his daily column..Dan in Real Life. In the process of doing this he has to raise 3 girls on his own....and according to them he's not doing a very good job. You can tell they love him to tears but they sure give him a hard time. He's a soft touch.Next comes a family get together and in walks in his brothers new girlfriend and he's just floored. They have an obvious connection but they decide to keep it quiet and try to make it through the family get together. The rest of the way through it's the awkwardness of him trying to keep his sanity. He's just gaga over this girl.The amount of funny scenes in this film is just too many to relate. The ones that left me laughing the most were "the book store" scene. In walks his brothers girlfriend and he sees her for the first. She thinks he works there and she asks for advice on a certain book. He proceeds to roam around the book store and just randomly pull books off the shelf and tell her way each book is what she needs. After this scene is over you'll laugh completely. This is one of the scenes in a film that sticks with you. So well written and the perfect 2 cast members to pull it off.Not far behind is the the mother and father decide to set up their son with a girl from his old school when he was a kid. Problem is the girl, Ruthie Pigface Draper, wasn't too attractive back then. The whole family decides to needle him before the date...by song. His brothers and family sing a painfully funny tune on piano about Ruthie Pigface Draper. Just so funny. Dane Cook makes this scene a gem.This little gem of a film has so many of those funny/awkward scenes it makes me feel bad for other films that try so hard to be funny, in all the wrong ways. It doesn't hurt that Steve Carell can pull off any role and make it work.At the end you'll have a little tear in your eye but just remember to smile. You just watched a great little film.
