Dan in Real Life...

On Sunday, we drove down to Fort Collins to watch Dan in Real Life. It much better than we expected, and it already looked good to us. It's the best romantic comedy I've seen in a while. I give it 5 out of five stars.




The main character was the main character in 40 Year Old Virgin. Though I have no plans to see that movie, this one was wonderful.

Dan, the main character, is a newspaper columnist who writes responses to letters asking for advice in marriage and child raising. His column is called Dan in Real Life. He is also a single dad of three daughters, whose wife died four years earlier. Every year, his whole family has a family vacation back at Dan's parents' house. It's that time of year.

After they arrive, Dan goes out to the book store. He meets a woman there and they hit is off well. She has to go in a hurry, so he goes back to the house only to find she's dating his brother. Things get interesting from there.

The movie is funny in many parts, but teaches some serious lessons, many of which Dan himself has to learn.

I suggest this movie to anyone.
