Dan in Real Life
Directed by Peter Hedges
Starring Steve Carrell, Juliette Binoche, Dane Cook
Contrived, inauthentic comedy that finds Carrell falling hard for a woman who turns out to be his younger brother’s new flame. Didn’t buy any of it for a minute, from the romantic relationships to the family dynamics to the sickly sweet ending. Is this simpleminded pap really what America wants?
