Dan in Real Life

I watched it last night. Nope, not in movie theaters but through my ipod again. Lolz! I downloaded it last few days and not to mention that it is already DvdRip. Coolness right? Actually there are lotsa movies that I have downloaded which is already DvdRip that aren't shown in movie theaters yet.. and oh, also the movies that were just shown in the movie theaters recently (such as Good Luck Chuck, Stardust, Hitman, Beowulf, I am Legend, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, American Gangster, Mr. Woodcock, Juno and The Darjeeling Limited.)

Yeah, I'm such a movie buff. Additionally, I have finished downloading "No Country for Old Men" and "Micheal Clayton" (movies nominated/won in Oscars).

So anyway, Dan in Real Life stars Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, Dane Cook and Dianne Wiest.


Dan (Steve Carell) is a widower with three daughters. He's an overprotective dad and writes advice column in a newspaper his entire life. Dan took his family in his parent's house for family get together/vacation. One day, Dan meets Marie (Juliette Binoche) in a local bookstore. Dan tried to caught her attention which lead to a nice conversation together. Dan began to fall in love with her. But as he got home, he was shocked when he found out the woman he met in the bookstore is currently dating his brother (Dan Cook). What's more awkward was that Marie also stayed in the house with the family. Dan tells Marie that they should not mention about the bookstore incident to the family. Go figure what happened in the ending.. I don't wanna be a spoiler. Haha!

The movie has a simple story but delivers a nice message to everyone.

My fave lines from the movie?
- "Love is not a feeling. It's an ability."
- "There's rightness in our wrongness."
- "Okay here's a thing. Somebody hasn't been reading his own column."
