Dan in Real Life
Likeable
but definitely undemanding comedy starring Steve Carell as Dan and Juliette
Binoche as Marie, a couple who are made for each other but can’t quite get it
together because she is going out with Dan’s brother. It all comes together at a big family reunion
in an imposing Rhode Island beach house.
It is not very realistic but the leads and the supporting players like
Dane Cook, Dianne Wiest and Emily Blunt keep this oldish material fresh and
moving. Wet afternoon material and a
chance to see the ever deepening talents of Carell.
