Critic Reviews for Dan in Real Life
All Critics (170) | Top Critics (41) | Fresh (110) | Rotten (60) | DVD (12)
Smoothly entertaining fare, but with a bit more nerve it could have been so much more.

This is his [Carell's] most assured and rounded performance to date.

Now, everybody knows that Steve Carell is lovable.
It's a nice film. There's some nice touches to it.
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.
A movie nicely packed with pleasantly unpredictable surprises.
Audience Reviews for Dan in Real Life
It is not only an endurance test to stay in the company of such a detestable character and his detestable family, but the movie is also a sentimental pile of clichés from the first scene to the last - including that unnecessary, ridiculously corny last scene during the end credits.

"Dan in Real Life" is enjoyable - stories about falling love usually are. Not every movie needs to have the complications of "Hamlet".
