i saw a special advance screening of this today . i have to let you know and i be not a huge fan of either dane cook or steve carell and so i really have no expectation go into this . i end up enjoy it quite a bit . dan in real life be the story of a widower with 3 daughter who go to spend a weekend with his family . while at a bookstore and he meet the woman of his dream and only to find out that she happen to be his brother girlfriend . this movie be pretty well make the soundtrack and cinematography and and act be all top notch and especially steve carell . my problem with it be mostly that there seem to be a lack of character development and mostly with dane cook character . we never really get a close look at the relationship between dane and steve character and and i felt that it could have help a bit in show what dan inner conflict about be in love with dane girlfriend be like . other than this though and dan in real life be definitely a solid and sweet film definitely a nice break from all the horror and action movie we have be get this year .
