I saw Dan in Real Life at the $3 movie matinee this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised.
It was well-written, well-acted, funny and cute. I don't know why it disappeared from theaters so quickly - maybe it got lost in the glut of other Steve Carell movies.
The premise is fun - it is about an advice columnist who really doesn't have a clue. His is nothing but an annoyance to his teen daughters (what dad isn't?), his family is worried about him, and he hasn't had a date in so long that his parents set him up with the neighbors' daughter whose childhood nickname was "Pigface."
I'm not going to spoil it by revealing plot details. It might be kind of a chick-flick but Carell is entertaining enough that guys might enjoy it too. I saw it with a male and female friend and they both liked it as much as I did.
I just give it a thumbs-up for when it comes out on DVD.

I'll have to give it a try. :)
We saw this when it came out and liked it a lot, too.

I enjoyed it as well. Of course, I'm pregnant, so I cried.
