There is something about the endearing everyman-ness of Steve Carell that just makes me want to root for the characters he plays, no matter what. In the trailer for his fall movie Dan in Real Life, that feeling is only intensified as he plays a widower raising three daughters. He falls for a woman (Juliette Binoche! Hooray!) who turns out to be his brother's (Dane Cook, booooo) new girlfriend.
The trailer, while not fall-down funny, is very sweet-looking and features some great lines. Dan in Real Life is scheduled to open October 19. To watch the trailer, read more
When I first heard of the movie, they were really pushing Dane as the star more than Steve who is the
actual lead. This trailer looks like they've taken a hint after Dane's constant-low-box-office-appeal and minimized his role.













OMG...I love love LOVE Steve Carell. I had no idea he had another movie coming out this year either, so thanks for the heads up. It looks great...and Dane Cook too? WHOOHOO!! Can't wait to see this!
