Dan Burns is a local newspaper advice columnist. He is a widower with three daughters. He brings the family to his parent's house for a family gathering. When Dan goes to a local bookstore, he meets Marie. When he gets home, he finds out that Marie is actually dating his brother Mitch. Dan's mother Nana announces that she met an old acquaintance of Dan's, Ruthie Draper and that she has set up a date between Dan and Ruthie. Dan refuses to go. Mitch suggests that they could make it a double date and Dan agrees. Ruthie turns out to be very hot, but Dan isn't really interested in her. When Marie indicates that Ruthie is not right for him, Dan feigns interest and starts dancing with Ruthie. Marie gets jealous and joins the floor with Mitch, leading to an upstaging contest between Dan and Marie.

good movie submitted by asopijw65 on August 5, 2015, 9:44pm Reminds me a lot of crazy stupid love. Steve carrel is surpsingly good at rom com type films

Fun movie submitted by kathy on June 19, 2016, 8:58pm Steve Carrel is really good in this movie about family, fatherhood, and finding love. Do not miss scenes include an exquisite example of teenage angst and a really funny spontaneous song Dan's brothers sing while he waits for his blind date to arrive.

This was good.

Feel Good then feel bad then feel good submitted by Kikumatsu97 on August 20, 2016, 9:04am I love this ensemble, it's a great example of what kinds of problems well-off people can have, It's funny and it does kind of make you want to cry some times.

Dan In Real Life submitted by lstorc on August 5, 2018, 10:45pm One of the best rom com's of all time!

Enjoyed Dan in Real Life submitted by pamhockey25 on August 1, 2019, 1:36pm Dan is a widower with three daughters. The family attends a family reunion and Dan meets someone special who finally makes him feel like a man again, but she turns out to be his brother's new girlfriend. Steve Carell is at his best with the physical comedy and his inability to handle the situation he finds himself in. It's entertaining, and has some laugh-out-loud moments, and some heartfelt moments as well. A great cast.
