One Paragraph Review: Dan in Real Life

I liked this movie. It was funny and heartfelt. It made me laugh. It made an honest effort to get my to cry, not that I did. Steve Carrell showed once again why he is a serious actor who can skillfully combine humor and drama. I'm not a fan of Dane Cook's comedy act, but I have to say he acted very well in this movie. The ending was entirely predictable, but I'm not sure that's entirely a bad thing. In many ways, Dan in Real Life reminded me of Little Miss Sunshine, another movie that ably combined humor with a somewhat touching story.
