Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Everyone should go see it. Dan is a local newspaper advice columnist. He has three daughters and is a widower. He brings the family to his parent's house for a family get-together. When Dan goes to a local bookstore, he meets a woman. They start to fall for each other and the woman, Marie, gives Dan her number; however, Dan is in for a surprise when he returns to his parent's house. Marie is his brother's new girlfriend. Over the course of several days, the two got back and fourth in forbidden love and a few laughs. Marie, torn by the pressure of falling for Dan, dumps Dan's brother and they go bowling together. However, the rest of the family decides to go to bowling as well and finds the two bowling and sharing a kiss together. Dan's brother, Mitch, played by Dane Cook hits Dan. Marie runs off and then drives off. Dan goes chasing after but rams a police car in the process and looses his license. After this, Dan realizes he's been negotiating his family and kids. Dan admits he's been ignoring them and says he's sorry to his family and kids. This movie was clean through and through. Perfect for a family outing with young teenage daughters! I was utterly surprised to see Steve Carell in a more serious role, but loved him. I hope to see more of him in films like this one. Of course, Diane Wiest is a keeper! It was the cutest story. There were parts that Darrin and I were laughing so hard and then moments later the tears were streaming down my face. If you love Steel Magnolias you will love Dan in Real Life. A+
