After ignoring it for quiet some times, I finally got myself to watch Dan in Real Life. I was a little bias because of Steve Carell. He had this thing that annoyed me, particularly in The Office. Or maybe, his character in the TV show affected me for real and it made me hate him for a reason. Of course, I watched him in different characters like the 40 Year Old Virgin, Little Miss Sunshine and Evan Almighty. I just didn't find him that funny.
Anyway, the movie did not exactly move me until the last part. All in all, it kinda sucked for a family film. It followed a pattern. You could have that little comparison with The Family Stone - falling in love with the brother's girl coupled with the idea of the monumental importance of family. Yup, something like that.
But I loved the little line trinkets (as I called them). Like, "Love is not a feeling. It's an ability." That left me a major "Huh?" actually. And that, the possibility of knowing and being convinced of being in love after three days; then, repeating to one's self that "I love her. I love her. I love her" or him him him.
The movie was simple. So simple, it was kinda boring. But if you would dissect it, you'd definitely find its flavor: Peanut butter and jelly with honey sandwich. Aww! CLICK HERE to watch the movie.
