First of all : it is a nice movie, but not a comedy that I have expected.
I saw Steve Carell on the funny poster and was eager to watch a movie in the tradition of a comedy like "Evan Almighty" ,"The 40 Year Old Virgin" or "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy". So if you want to watch a comedy like these, you will be failed.
I don't blame Steve Carell for my expectation of a great comedy, because he has also played in movies that were not funny or that I have disliked before. But the FUNNY poster of this movie and the good comments about this movie made me believe that I can laugh many times.
Don't get me wrong, it is a nice movie. I will not tell you the whole plot, but imagine a movie that your girlfriend would like to produce about feelings,emotions,love & parenthood, and you will get exactly this movie.
Dan in Real Life is a movie every woman dreams to direct or produce, but it is NOT the movie that was supposed to give me a nice evening with many laughs.
