Review of Dan in Real Life (2007) by Johnny T — 23 Feb 2011

Steve Carrell delievers an outstanding performance which makes us laugh and also cry at the same time. It is a brilliant movie, it works from both sides, men and women because it has comedy, romance and also a little bit of drama. Dan in Real Life fires on so many circuits that at times it's actually shocking how good it is. Carell shows a whole new side to his talents. A smart, sweet, and thoroughly disarming ensemble comedy that isn't afraid to wear its humanism on its sleeve.

VERDICT: "Full Price" - Second highest rating in the system (Positive to Mixed reaction). This is a rating to a movie I view as very entertaining and well made, and definitely worth paying the full price at a theater to see or own on DVD. It is not perfect, but it is definitely excellent.
