Dan In Real Life **
I'm terribly sorry, dearest daughter of mine, I know you enjoyed this movie, but I couldn't get into it at all. I can only give it two stars out of ten. Generation gap, perhaps? ;) I thought it boring, hardly ever funny and not at all romantic... I mean, we're talking romantic comedy here, right? The predictability of the plot, the lack of chemistry between the main characters, the expressionless, boring Steve Carell... Amazing that a fine, interesting actress such as Juliette Binoche accepted this part.
The story? Well, it's about widower Dan, a columnist and father of three daughters between 12 and 17, who meets the (second) woman of his dreams in a bookshop in the village where his parents live, and where the entire family is assembled for their yearly get together. Unfortunately the woman appears to be the new girlfriend of his brother... How does one deal with that...? I guess you can guess... ;)
