This is just a quick one to recommend the film "Dan in Real Life" to everyone whether you're a "Dan" or not. The ever-endearing Steve Carell stars in this fun and "heartfelt" film about Dan, a widower and advice columnist who ultimately could stand to follow his own advice if not his heart. Juliette Binoche is lovely as the love interest. Dane Cook, John Mahoney and Diane Weist are among the cast. Speaking of the cast, the film was well cast right down to the children in the film. The kids did a great job and in the case of Dan's daughters, could have over-acted teen angst but instead they portrayed their characters perfectly.
This is a film the whole family can see which is a welcome change of pace from most films. There was a good balance of amusement, romance and drama making it a film that anyone can enjoy. I'm glad I happened to catch the sneak preview tonight. It made me feel warm.
