Dan In Real Life

Cyd and I had a date night a few weeks ago before Charlotte was born. After a great meal complete with fried pickles at Gnat's Landing we decided to rent a movie. We ended up with two, one of which was Dan in Real Life, starring Steve Carrell. This movie was entertaining just to watch Steve Carrell in action, but it also had a cute, predictable plot. The aspect I enjoyed the most was watching a single dad trying to raise 3 teenage girls and all of the headaches that come with that world. The funny thing is that he's not so great raising his girls, even though he writes a parental advice column for a living (isn't that usually the case). For a cheesy love story and a few laughs you might want to check it out the next time you are at the video store. There are a several instances of innuendo, but otherwise a fairly clean movie by today's standards.
