Leave your thoughts about Dan in Real Life.
| Miami HeraldConnie OgleDan in Real Life is basically a slightly less-sappy version of "TheFamily Stone." |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleDan in Real Life fires on so many circuits that at times it's actually shocking how good it is. |
| Christianity TodayJosh HurstThere's not an iota of pretense here, not the slightest hint of hipster irony or of cynicism. It's a movie about family, made by people who know about family, who believe in family. |
| OhmyNews.comBrian OrndorfDan is a delightful motion picture, especially when it combats the fatigue of formula, trying to smuggle in astute characterizations between moments of traditional Hollywood romantic comedy hoo-ha. |
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsDan in Real Life is this year's Family Stone, a pleasant enough diversion -- especially if your own family is driving you crazy -- but quickly forgotten. |
| Sacramento BeeCarla MeyerHedges imparts, in the space of an hour and a half, a real sense of this family's history -- its rituals and its resilience. |
| Hollywood.comKit BowenAs a surprisingly engaging romantic comedy starring an unlikely romantic lead, Dan in Real Life warms your heart in all the right places. And makes you want to eat pancakes. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonConfuses charm with childishness and romance with the sort of endless yearning in a badly written teen diary. Then there's the misogyny . . . and after the film's family values syrup is tapped out, its WASPy judgmentalism remains. |
| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryRomantic but gents, don't let this deter you - it's about a man, his journey, and his burdens, it's a story of a husband and a dad and a brother and a man who used to be someone's lover. Bring a date. |
| Eye for FilmAnton BitelThere is no mistaking Hedges' film for anything other than a saccharine corn-fest, but what keeps it from palling entirely is the strength of the ensemble performances, and the smartly understated writing. |
