...if what you want is a star-driven sophisticated romantic comedy that is successfully aimed at actual adults..."Dan in Real Life" is such a film. Starring contemporary comedy giant Steve Carell and Oscar-winning French high-culture heroine Juliette Binoche, a coupling as unlikely as it is delicious, "Dan" offers the most pleasing kind of unforced charm as it uses a terrific plot device to examine the conflicts between family and romance as well as the joy and pain of being in love.
