December 13, 2009Steve Carell has a sweet side that makes him so likeable in The Office and The 40 Year-Old Virgin, and that exact quality is what makes Dan In Real Life an enjoyable movie. He really seems like a father who has lost his beloved wife and is trying earnestly to raise his daughters,...( read more)

June 28, 2009I enjoy watching people crash. I'm glad Dane Cook is okay with it. It seemed like she made the decision rather easily, although so did they.

April 18, 2009As the title indicates, this is a "real life" story. I felt as if I wasn't actually watching a movie. Heartwarming and funny. Good movie.

Why must so many family-friendly romantic comedies give us such wan, forgettable dialogue and predictable situations? Dan is derivative at best, and feels like filmmaking by focus group at worst. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
In the end, the commercial necessity of wrapping up a family comedy in less than 100 minutes seems to have trumped anything real about Dan's life. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Dan in Real Life is neither wildly farcical nor mockingly cruel, but rather, for the most part, winningly gentle and observant.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
There are some loud moments and big laughs. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
There's nothing groundbreaking about Dan in Real Life -- it's a picture that could have been made 10 or 20 years ago -- and yet its easygoing, affable nature is exactly what makes it pleasurable. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
For all its by-the-numbers plotting, Dan in Real Life is winningly good-natured and funny. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Steve Carell's pursed-lipped awkwardness and sweet buffoonery are both in fine form, but those endearing qualities aren't nearly enough to salvage Peter Hedges's incorrigibly hackneyed film. full review
October 18, 2007
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The plot tickles sitcom, but the film is a winner because Carell and Binoche follow Hedges' lead and keep it real. Sharing their company really is a pleasure. full review

July 28, 2009The trailer of this movie looked so nice, but the movie itself disappointed me. It's so simple, and simple can be good, but this was just a little boring. It's nothing new.
