Being consciously aware about my movie challenge, I wanted to watch the movies left on the DOWNLOADED movies folder on our PC. I thought “Dan in Real Life” is a documentary, but when I played it, it is another chick flick, with a father protagonist. Good. I can relax, watch and not be bombarded by confusing plots.
It was a nice movie. The story is about Dan, a columnist, and a father of three girls. He feels like a loser, unable to find another lover, and make her children listen to him. Things turn in to a different light when on their family annual get together event; he goes to the town’s library and meets a girl. There and then he knew she is the one, and asked her to have a short talk while having coffee. It turns out that the woman is his brother’s new girlfriend, thus creating an interesting plot. You’ll feel the itch of Dan to talk to her while they do activities with Dan’s family members, plus the girl being with his brother. You’ll also feel the curiosity on how they would reason out their love even though they barely knew each other.
I think what the movie would like to say is that--- you can fall in love with anyone, and if s/he is the one… you just simple know. Time spent together is not even a question. However small of time you had known each other, you will just feel the chemistry. If this happens-- Go for it. I do not know if this works in real life, somehow the movie is so high thinking of love, therefore idealistic. I think I need to know more people and listen to their love stories. If I find a relationship that worked within this type of circumstance, I will definitely admire them.
Another thing that I love on this movie is the closeness of the family members. It is cool that close family ties is also presented on an American movie.
So, for the fun and light feeling while watching, I give this movie—2.30/5
