Review of Dan in Real Life (2007) by Billys. — 23 Nov 2007
Dan in Real Life would have been a script Steve Martin would have turned down 10 years ago, instead we get Steve Carell trying to become an actor instead of a comedian in movies and he does show promise in what is essentially Parenthood 2.
It's a nice little comedy that comes to life when Juliette Binoche is on screen, who doesn't do nearly enough American films, but always radiates warmth and honesty in all her roles. Dianne Weist and John Mahoney are wasted in little roles and Dane Cook just wastes his role (He really needs to stick to stand up).
Dan in Real Life is an enjoyable way to kill an hour and a half of your real life or you could save 10 bucks and do a crossword puzzle.
