Dan In Real Life

Has anyone seen this? I watched it last night in the theater, and I was positively surprised. I think it was the first Steve Carell movie I've seen, and I really liked him in this one. The movie was just the right mixture of silly and serious. Sometimes with rom-coms is a tightrope walk between being slapsticky and being romantically earnest--and this movie, in my eyes, found its way nicely. It was both funny and sweet.

Deb, you once said you wished for a heartfelt romantic comedy that didn't have some kind of paranormal or sci-fi aspect to it. Maybe you'd like to give this one a chance. You like Steve Carell, right?

The only point of critique I have is the ending. Not the actual ending, but the last scene that plays during the end credits. Seriously, guys? Not necessary!

Cool.  I will definitely watch it then.  Yeah, Steve Carell's really great with the wright material.  I hope you'll break down and watch the 40 Year Old Virgin sometime.  It's absolutely hilarious and incredibly sweet.
