Dan in Real Life (DVD, 2008)

This fun-spirited romantic comedy is not what I was expecting from Steve Carrell- yet I enjoyed it just the same. We are used to seeing Carrell depict stupidly funny, socially awkward and politically insensitive characters in such films as Anchorman and The 40 Year Old Virgin. And of course he may be known best for his role as the dry-humored, jerk boss from The Office. The character he plays in this film is markedly different. Although some of the same social awkwardness and dry humor still applies, this time his character is also a grieving widow, a responsible father and passionately... in love.

Advice columnist and author Dan Burns has his hands full as a single parent of 3 teenage girls. He was deeply in love with thier mother, who became ill and passed on 4 years ago. Since that time he has devoted all of his attention to his girls and his work and he has not been interested in dating... That is until a chance meeting at a bookstore (while on vacation to visit family) with a woman named Marie (Juliette Binoche). The two have an instant connection- and he knows he is in love. His joy, however, is short-lived once he discovers that Marie is dating his brother... What unfolds is a mix of humor and heartache as Dan attempts to conceal his feelings for Marie and the chemistry they both share to keep peace within his family.

If you enjoy romantic comedies and can appreciate Carrell in a slightly more serious role I think you will LOVE this movie, just as much as I did!

Entertaining!Fun movie for entire family to watch!Funniest and most entertaining movie taht I have ever seen! Do not miss this movie!!

It's a humorous interaction of feelings for two people and how those feelings grow into love.
We have enjoyed watching it in the past so much that we wanted to add it to our library.

Bought this as a Christmas present. Love this movie. The item shipped fast and was just as described. Great deal. Thank you!

I love this movie!!! Sweet love story... Steve C. an Juliette B. are great. I recommend this movie to everyone!!!

everything went very smoothly! the seller was very prompt. would buy again. i have been very pleased with the product.

The movie is great. Could have done without some of the content in the movie, though. "Dan in Real Life" is a great movie, and I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for such a quick transaction. I really appreciate how fast you were at sending it out. Hopefully we will do business again.

First let me say I do not watch THe Office. I do not in any way shape of form like Steve Carell. Never have. I bought this movie I like Jullitte B. and a few others in the movie. I was pleasantly supprised. Steve C. was the best part of the movie. He actually seemed normal. JullitteB. was excellent. The hottie who played one of the brothers was a HOTTIE cap lock HOT. Enjoyed movie very much. Buy it you will not be disapointed.

This is one of my favorite movies. I love the closeness of the family and the honesty and the emotions. I love the personalities. I love the house it all takes place in. And I absolutely LOVE the music by Sondre Lerche and the fact that it was made specific for this movie. Finally, who doesn't love Steve Carell?? Dan In Real Life is definitely in my top ten of all time.

There are very few movies that are worthy of watching over and over. 'Dan in Real Life' is one of the few! It has quickly become a feel good, family favorite.

I love this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this movie. Have been looking for this dvd every where and didn't want to pay a lot. Looked on ebay and found the movie, watched it as soon as I received it in and worked great. Thank You.

Dan in Tral Life was a wounderful family movie.. A friend told me about it and it lived up to what I was told.. A good clean family movie...

The order arrived in good time, and in good shape. I bought it for a gift, and the recipent was very pleased with it. Thank You.

This DVD was delivered quickly and was in new packaging. I would definitely recommend this seller to anyone. Thank you for delivering your product as promised.

LOVED this movie! Carrell is hilarious in everything he does! All the characters were great and it wasn't boring or slow at all. Recommend it!!!

A movie with lots of humor! The movie takes place mostly in and around this really great old house. The entire family life has a comfy feeling to it. And it would be comfortable watching if it contained no sexual content that, as usual, ruins an otherwise simple funny movie.

Good clean fun that embarks the user on a great adventure! Steve C is great and plays the role to a tee.

I loved the fast shipping, and its price. Also, the item fits the description and it was in a great condition! Will buy from this seller again. Thanks!

The item was found to be defective so the item was not sent to me and the buyer refunded my money.

i wanted to buy this item because it was lowest prices compared to many major websites such as Amazon.com

Received film in timely manner and in great shape. Very pleased with purchase. Very good movie. Would recommend this supplier.

Very smooth transaction. Movie arrived quickly and in great condition. I've been enjoying it ever since I've gotten it.
