The term “Romantic Comedy” can strike fear into the hearts of many. Basically any film with Diane Keaton or Huge Grant has the propensity to make me want scratch out my eyes and fling my blind ass off of a large structure. Most of these movies have several emasculating moments where a guy says things or does things that only girls think guys should do, when in reality if a guy actually did those things she would not only loose respect for him, but she would wonder why she was dating such a girl….Dan In Real Life was not like that at all. It was a comedy, and it was romantic, but it was tasteful and well written. It seemed real and awkward like most of Carells work. I think a lot of comedians get type casted and it is hard for them to break out of the “funny” role, Steve did this early in his movie making career in Little Miss Sunshine, he is a comedian, but also is a very believable character in other roles. His acting in this movie made it funny, believable and basically made the movie. It is a great pick for guys and girls alike.
