Dan (Steve Carell) vidékre utazik a gyerekekkel, hogy szüleivel és testvérei családjaival töltsenek néhány napot. Anyja hamar észreveszi, hogy Dan bizony sokszor agyára megy kamasz lányainak aggódásával és túlzott gondoskodásával. Ezért elküldi fiát a közeli városba újságokért, hogy mindenki egy kis lélegzethez jusson és lazítson egy picit. A helyi könyvesboltban Dan megismerkedik egy gyönyörű és izgalmas nővel (Juliette Binoche), akivel hosszú órákat beszélget a legnagyobb harmóniában, vagyis a szimpátia kölcsönös. Kiderül, hogy szíve hölgye éppen egy friss kapcsolatban van. A férfi szeretné még látni, és Marie rövid vívódás után megadja neki a telefonszámát. Dan nem is sejti, hogy a találkozásukra hamarabb sor kerül, mint gondolná. Hazaérve bemutatják neki az öccse új barátnőjét, aki nem más, mint Marie... (ADS Service)

An unexpectedly excellent comedy with a great cast (Dane Cook, Juliette Binoche). For perhaps the first time I didn't mind Steve Carell either. The brisk pace added to the lightness of the film. I have to admit that I had a really good time. The family atmosphere literally absorbed me. Except for a few minor clichés, it was a relaxing film. 4 stars.

I have the same problem with this film as with Love Actually. Both films tug at your heartstrings, both are full of annoying clichés, but for reasons unknown to me, they make me suppress my innate cynicism. If only the kids in the film hadn’t been so annoying all the time (especially the heart-to-heart with the father just before the end was enough to make me puke), I might have even thrown in a fifth star. Mainly because it’s the first time I've realized Steve Carell can do better than just comedy (sometimes of questionable quality).

An excellent film that both makes you laugh and caresses, and whose intelligent script doesn't abuse the romantic plot for emotional blackmail, which is definitely one of the film's biggest plus points. A great Steve Carell, a charming Juliette Binoche, three daughters, none of whom are unsympathetic or otherwise annoying... Well, now I've seen what can happen during a simple family reunion.

My partner was surprised after the final credits at how I could be so cynical and give only two stars to a movie full of beautiful, likable, and positive people who love each other. Well, I can. Juliette Binoche is indeed an actress, about whom I wrote some time ago, that she could instantly be a candidate for Miss Sympathy Universe, and Steve Carell belongs among the most versatile American comedians with a wide range of acting and a cultivated manner of speech. However, Dan in Real Life is a typical representative of a sterile and undemanding spectacle - a mixture of romance and an appropriate dose of family values. It is simply too shallow, generic, and not of this world. Overall impression: 40%.

Too bad Peter Hedges isn't as good a director as he is a writer. The likeable story is well acted, realistic, and funny, but fizzles out rather to nothing towards the end. As a screenwriter, though, Hedges has a lot to offer. It just needs to be made by someone more experienced next time.
