Dan in Real Life
Stream
Rent & Buy
Advice columnist Dan Burns is an expert on relationships, but somehow struggles to succeed as a brother, a son and a single parent to three precocious daughters. Things get even more complicated when Dan finds out that the woman he falls in love with is actually his brother's new girlfriend.
What critics thought
Dan in Real Life lands in the middle of the road — charming enough to watch but formulaic enough to frustrate. Critics acknowledged the performances, particularly Steve Carell's, while noting the film leans heavily on holiday rom-com conventions without doing much to subvert them.
“not to expect too much from Dan in Real Life that way you can be pleasantly surprised.”
