Dan the Man

Steve Carell's unsuccessful Evan Almighty made me think twice to see him do his thing once again in Dan in Real Life. At first I thought not another disastrous irritating humor from that guy. But then he proved me wrong by just doing what he does best. Real humor, a comedy that it’s not slapstick funny but a humor that comes from the heart. Another thing that made this movie something worthwhile seeing is the supporting characters. I was quite surprise that Dane Cook did not annoy me with his over the top stints but rather not be himself for just once. Also the whole family of Dan touch the insides of me and made me realized that I want to feel what it would be like to be in his shoes. It is also nice to see Juliet Binoche be back in her element and shines all throughout. Overall subtle and real are the two most important suits that made this movie what it is. I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a light but touching story that delivers the goods
